About the game

What you do in a play session

Brace yourself, because survival here is no joke! Night of the Living Dead: A Zombicide Game brings the visceral essence of George A. Romero's classic directly to your tabletop. Unlike many other Zombicide titles where you play as unstoppable action heroes, this one leans heavily into suspense and claustrophobia. You and your friends step into the shoes of survivors hunkering down in an isolated house while the 'ghouls'—as they are known in the film—swarm the perimeter.

The standout feature is the dual-mode system that respects the source material. If you're looking for a gritty, faithful experience to the 1968 film, the 'Romero' variant offers characters as vulnerable, everyday humans. If you crave the high-octane action the franchise is known for, the 'Zombicide' variant buffs character attributes to handle massive hordes, though they can always regress to their original state. Using a modular board to keep every siege fresh and an action-point system to make every move count, it's a tense cooperative experience where communication is key and the fear of being overrun is always lurking. If you love classic horror or want to see Zombicide mechanics applied to a more grounded, gritty setting, this is a must-play.
