About the game
The Quick and the Undead is a wild mashup of Wild West and zombies, where you play as an outlaw trying to take over a town overrun by the undead. The goal? Gain more notoriety than your rivals, whether by controlling buildings, clearing out zombies, or taking well-aimed shots at other players. Each in-game day has three rounds where everyone secretly picks actions using a D8 and reveals simultaneously. Get ready for duels, shootouts, and plenty of strategy—because hesitation means game over. The game ends when there are fewer zombies than players, and the one with the most notoriety wins. Tie? It’s a duel to the death!
