Escape Zombie City

The Survivor Chronicles

The game mechanisms of Escape combined with a Zombie topic! Within 15 minutes players must reach the vehicle and leave town in this real-time adventure to escape from the Zombie hordes and survive. The Survivor Chronicles, the first expansion for the game, features two modules: Challenges and Characters. In Challenges so-called challenge road tile+s come into play and you must resolve those challenges before you can leave town. The six road tiles are shuffled face-down, you take one, two or three and set the remaining ones aside; the more roads you choose the more difficulties you will have. Resolved challenges are marked. Possible challenges are: Rock Concert – defeat zombies; Retirement home – get Grandpa to church; Barricade – clear the road; workshop – drive the van there and fix it; The Pit – go there with pill bottle and energy drink and roll fists; Circus – all players go there, draw a card and do the action.

For Characters each player choses a character - Nerd, Grandma, Policeman, Shopping Queen, Vendor or Construction Worker - with special abilities; you choose one for the game and can us it as often as you want. They can let you re-roll blocked Panic dice via Caution symbols, give you extra baseball bat or fist symbols, let you swap items, enter road segments via fist symbols, fight zombies on adjacent street sections, change the driving action or swap dice or summon players via baseball bat symbols.

As if zombies alone were not sufficient! If you like to get your teeth into a task you have your chance here, especially when using both modules! Not suitable for nervous milquetoasts.
