About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine being stuck in the middle of a city when the zombie apocalypse hits! In Zurvivors, you step into the shoes of a survivor fighting through urban chaos to reach the rescue helicopter. It's a race against time where every card-play counts. You'll need to manage your hand carefully, completing personal goals and scavenging for supplies to fill your backpack. Each survivor brings a unique-ability to the table, adding a layer of strategy to your desperate escape attempt.

But here's the real kicker:- if the horde catches up to you, you don't just sit out. You join the undead! Becoming a zombie turns you into a player working to stop the remaining survivors from escaping. This 'player elimination turned player transformation' mechanic ensures that even when you 'lose' your human status, you're still actively driving the tension and chaos of the game. It's fast-paced, highly interactive, and perfect for groups who love a bit of thematic mayhem. Whether you are playing as a resourceful survivor or a hungry zombie, the adrenaline never stops. Can you make it to the extraction point, or will you become part of the horde?
