About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a horde of fun (and terror!) with Zombies!!!, the classic that started it all. In each game, you and your friends become survivors trying to escape a city overrun by slow but relentless zombies. The board is built tile by tile, ensuring every escape is unique. To move and fight, the luck of the dice is your ally (or enemy!).
Managing your resources, especially precious bullets, is crucial. Every shot counts, and life is a scarce commodity that needs to be protected at all costs. At the end of your turn, the undead come to life and advance, increasing the tension each round. The goal? Be the first to reach the helipad and eliminate the final zombie, or simply be the most prolific zombie slayer with 25 kills to your name. But beware: getting caught by zombies means returning to the start and losing half your progress. It's a game that mixes luck, strategy, and a good dose of chaos for those who enjoy the zombie survival genre. Ideal for those not afraid of a little luck and who want to feel the adrenaline of escaping the undead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
What is the main objective of the game?
The goal is to be the first player to reach the center of the helipad and defeat the final zombie, or to accumulate 25 zombie kills.
How do movement and combat work?
Both are resolved with dice rolls. You roll to see how many spaces you can move and roll again to try to hit zombies in combat.
What happens if I get killed by a zombie?
If you are defeated, you return to the starting tile of the board and lose half the zombies you have already killed. A small setback, but the fight goes on!
Is the board always the same?
No! The board is modular, meaning it's made of tiles that are assembled differently each game, ensuring each playthrough is a new exploration experience.
Do I need to manage resources?
Yes, the game requires you to manage your bullets and life points well. Every decision about using an item or shooting can be crucial for your survival.
Is it a cooperative or competitive game?
Zombies!!! is a competitive game, where everyone fights for their own survival and the glory of being the greatest zombie slayer. But the zombie threat is constant for everyone!
Is it recommended for beginners?
Yes, it's a great game for those new to board games, especially if they enjoy the zombie theme. The rules are relatively simple and fun is guaranteed.
