About the game
Get ready for a frantic, first-person zombie apocalypse experience with *Run, Fight, or Die!* Forget generic zombies on modular boards; here, the horde is coming straight for you, and each player manages their own individual board to face the encroaching threat. You take on the role of a unique survivor, with distinct character traits and abilities, in a desperate race for weapons and other survivors. Each round, the undead draw closer, forcing you to make quick decisions: run to a new location, fight the imminent threat, or face certain death. The survivors you rescue can be a blessing, bringing new skills to your fight, or an extra challenge, adding more complexity to your journey. Either way, they are valuable victory points! The game ends in several ways: when a player finds five survivors and announces the final round, when someone reaches the town line (with a minimum number of followers), or, of course, if a player gets bitten and joins the horde. Keep an eye out, as not all followers are trustworthy; some might betray you or slow you down. The final score is a combination of points from rescued survivors and your character's remaining health. With custom dice, awesome miniatures, and a variety of decks for events and loot, *Run, Fight, or Die!* offers an intense and adrenaline-fueled adventure for 1 to 4 players.
