About the game
What you do in a play session
The city map changes with each game, ensuring every playthrough is a new adventure (or nightmare). You'll move your characters to locations with limited capacity, trying to barricade what you can and, of course, scavenging for useful items and weapons to fend off the hungry horde. And when things get really dicey, like a zombie breaking in and going after someone, the final decision is made by vote. The game shares some DNA with Mall of Horror but has its own twists, like the scarcity of action cards and the possibility of earning points in ways other than just keeping your characters alive. It's a game for those who aren't afraid to negotiate, bluff, and maybe even throw their friends to the zombies to save their own skin.
