Deadland

survive the virus

The small town of Dearland is overrun by Zombies and you want to survive until help arrives. The town is laid out in six area boards, at the start they are color side up for available resources; a completely scavenged and overrun area is turned over. You begin as a Survivor in the basis and choose a character. Players are active in turn, beginning with most combative player, until a game-end condition is achieved.

The active player resolves phases: 1. Infection check; draw cards according to your infection status and add a card to your virus stack, if it shows the consecutive number to the number on your top card in the stack. If you draw a Radio Contact card, the marker is advanced one step and the virus deck is reshuffled with both Radio Contact cards. 2. Move your character into an adjacent area; optional move. 3. Use or exchange items; you can carry up to six Ammo or rations and up to three items. 4. Scavenging - an event card is drawn and resolved, in case of a Zombie Attack card an Infection Status check is done. 5. Discard markers or surplus items.

If you reach infection level 8, you are infected and turn Zombie, you play now according to different rules; for instance, you must move to an adjacent area and cannot use or exchange items. If a Zombie loses all his Toughness tokens, he is dead and out of the game. When the radio marker reaches the final position, all survivors win together. When all players have turned Zombies before that, the Virus has won.
