Description

Dead of Night is a thrilling cooperative game where 1 to 6 players join forces to survive a zombie-infested night, drawing inspiration from classic horror movies. With no single "Zombie Master" to dictate the pace, players work together to explore locations, fulfill objectives, and make it through the night alive. However, the option to use fellow players as zombie bait is always on the table, adding a layer of humor and unpredictability to the game. As players navigate the modular board, they'll need to use strategy, action points, and a dash of luck to overcome the undead hordes and achieve their goals. As the night wears on, cards drawn throughout the game can either aid or hinder progress, making each scenario uniquely challenging. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 90 minutes, Dead of Night is an accessible and engaging experience for players of all skill levels. Designed by Simon Spearing and first published in 2007, this base game has stood the test of time, offering a fun and thrilling experience for fans of exploration, fighting, and horror themes. Will you be able to survive the night and emerge victorious, or will the zombies get the best of you? Gather your friends and find out in Dead of Night.
