## Description
Get ready for a nail-biting zombie apocalypse in City of Horror! If you love that classic horror movie vibe where the horde is closing in and the tension is mounting, this game is for you. Each player controls a group of characters with unique abilities, and the mission is clear: survive the onslaught of the undead invading the city. But beware, it's not easy! To get ahead, you'll often have to make tough choices, like... sacrificing some of your own companions to the horde. It's pure backstabbing, but it's part of survival!

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.
