Flick ’em up! Dead of Winter

Zombies instead of Cowboys

Flick ’em Up! Is a game of dexterity on the topic of shootouts, in the core game set in a Wild West background. The Dead of Winter version transfers the game into a Zombie-infested wasteland, where we fight for survival. By snipping! The game offers 10 scenarios with an adventure in a new town; scenarios 1 to 5 are intended for individual players, in scenarios 6 to 10 you play in teams. There are 10 survivor figures with a backpack and their own board, representing the inventory of the backpack where you deposit its contents, your life points and your default weapon.

You select a scenario and prepare the individual survivors or teams and the game area with components according to the selected scenario. You play in rounds; each round represents half a day, either day or night, and comprises several turns. In each turn of a round, an available survivor is activated; he can move, shoot and enter a building to pick up, deliver or swap items, all done by snipping the movement disc. The loudest action of a survivor in the round triggers a corresponding Zombie action option: Zombies are positioned or - for a Zombie Rush - placed into the Zombie tower, from where they roll out and can topple survivors to lose them 1 life point. Survivors win, if they meet the scenario objective; the lose, if a certain number of survivors died or if there are not enough Zombies in the bin for adding. When the round marker reaches the skull, the scenario determines who wins.

Pure action fun, also for younger players; the topic is marvelously implemented and the components stunning - all actions do really happen in 3D!
