About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for the Zombidel vibe! This Japanese card game, Zombidel, throws you right into a B-movie horror flick, inspired by "Dawn Of The Dead". Your mission? Escape a zombie-infested shopping mall! Each trick you win is a chance to ditch those annoying, weak zombies from your hand, but be careful not to pick up the stronger ones and end up as undead chow.
The goal is to clear your hand of mall cards to become free. Then, it's a race to freedom, whether by helicopter or motorbike. But don't slack off, because if you take too long, the mall might just call you back! The mood isn't total despair, though. The design leans more towards laughs than frights, with humorous illustrations instead of gore.
Zombidel is a trick-taking game that breaks the mold, blending escape tension with quirky humor. It's perfect for those who enjoy a zombie theme with a lighter, more relaxed twist. Get ready for twists, quick strategies, and lots of laughs as you try to get out of this fashion-forward apocalypse. It's a fast-paced experience, ideal for livening up any game night, especially if you're fans of good zombie movies with a comedic touch. Fun is guaranteed, with easy-to-learn rules and quick rounds!
