Run, Fight, or Die!

Fighting Zombies with Dice

A game with a Zombie theme - you are a character living in Hokenville, a small town suddenly overrun with Zombies. You play on your own board and face the zombie hordes alone, but embody a unique character with special abilities. Anyway, you try to save as many citizens as possible. Those citizens turn into your followers and bring their special abilities with them into play, albeit also their problems, but, in any case, victory points - the more problems they bring with them the more victory points they are worth.

A player turn comprises several phases, which are resolved in order before the turn passes to the next player: Action Phase - you roll dice and evaluate the dice for events; then you can re-roll and resolve the results for actions, character combinations and so on. This is followed by the Zombie Advance phase, each zombie advances by one zone and the Mutant Zombie attacks, when he is active. In the Zombie Hunt Phase new zombies are added in zone 3, based on zombie symbols on dice and other conditions. Finally, you check for end-of-game conditions. The game ends if you collected five followers and trigger end game or if a character dies or all Mutant Boss Wound tokens have been gained or X followers are active when the Town Line card is drawn. Should the game end, you score remaining life points minus wounds, followers and VP marker, but cannot win if you died.

A zombie game as one knows them, with some nice details like those witty and unusual followers with their problems and assistance. Surely an attractive addition to the genre of zombie games for those who love them.
