## Description
Picture a group of zombies scrolling through their phones, oblivious and disoriented. The genius twist? Writing symbols on the ground—a map only they can read because, of course, they have no side vision. In "SMOMBIE - Vacation," each player becomes the Zombie Master, trying to be the last one standing while Urszula’s other zombies follow their chaotic paths. The game starts with an empty board and a stack of colorful tiles, each representing a step or action that can alter a zombie’s fate. You must place these tiles strategically, crafting routes that hinder or aid the zombies. Drop a "leave" tile near a vulnerable zombie, and it might escape before another player can "capture" it. The final goal? Be the last zombie still in play while all others are eliminated by their own twisted paths. The game has been redesigned for 2‑4 players, keeping the same strategic fun but with slightly tweaked rules to ensure fair and balanced competition. Each match lasts 15‑30 minutes, so you can play multiple rounds in an afternoon or use it as a warm‑up for longer games. The set includes path tiles, zombie markers, and a rulebook that explains everything in a clear, playful tone. If you enjoy tile‑placement games that demand quick thinking and strategy, and you’re not averse to a humorous zombie twist, "SMOMBIE - Vacation" is the perfect pick.
