## Description
Brace yourself for a desperate race for survival in Eaten By Zombies!, a game that throws you headfirst into a zombie apocalypse worthy of The Walking Dead. Each turn, you must venture out from your safehouse to scavenge for supplies, but beware: the undead horde is always lurking, and the threat grows with each passing day. Your 'fight or flight' instinct will be tested to the limit as you use the cards in your hand – your resources – to confront the zombies. If you're lucky and survive the onslaught, you can scour the surroundings for more 'swag' (items, equipment, whatever!) to boost your deck and your hand for the next turn. But don't be fooled, death is almost certain. The goal is to be the last one standing, the last to be devoured by this hungry mass. Each game is different thanks to a customizable starting deck and over 20 unique card types. It's a tense mix of deck building, hand management, and survival horror, where you might even have to cooperate with other survivors to postpone the inevitable... or betray them to save your own skin. The game scales in difficulty as the zombie deck is reshuffled, making cooperative victory a rarity and individual survival a constant struggle against time and the hunger of the undead. Six zombie cards in hand and you've gone insane; if all zombies are defeated, all surviving players win together. A chaotic and fun experience where the end is just a matter of when.
