## Description
Imagine this: you're trapped in a city that is literally sinking, and to make matters worse, it's overrun by zombies. Sounds like the start of a horror movie, right? That's exactly the vibe of Carnival Zombie! Here, you and your friends control a group of heroes desperately trying to find an escape route before everything turns into water and rotting flesh. The game features a dynamic rhythm based on a day-and-night cycle. During the night, things get intense: it's time to face restless zombie hordes in fierce combat. During the day, the pace slows down, allowing the group to recover, explore the city for useful items, or attempt to rescue other survivors.

In this second edition, the experience has been boosted with new scenarios that bring a wide variety of challenges. There's everything from a tutorial scenario for beginners to shorter, more brutal games for those who want to test their limits. The coolest part is the versatility: you can play cooperatively, but there are also competitive scenarios and even a traitor mechanic—yes, someone in your group might be playing against you! Additionally, the game offers scalability, allowing you to adjust the number of characters based on the number of players at the table. For those who love miniatures and strategic combat, the game delivers an immersive experience, mixing tactical movement with hints of dexterity. And if you don't have anyone to play with right now, no problem, as the solo mode works great. The final missions can even be played as standalone scenarios, giving the game more longevity. It's the perfect blend of survival, tension, and strategy in a unique post-apocalyptic setting.
