Description

The Walking Dead Board Game: The Best Defense is a cooperative game where 1 to 4 players take on the roles of iconic characters, working together to defend key locations from Walkers. The game board is modular, providing a unique setup for each playthrough, and players must navigate a deck of events that trigger Walkers and other calamities. With easy-to-learn rules, players can jump into the action, using dice to resolve combat and determine the outcome of events. As players work together to stay alive, they can take on a leadership role, utilizing unique abilities to provide bonuses to the group. With two gameplay modes, beginner and expert, players can choose their level of challenge, and advanced players can even introduce secret "Ulterior Motive" cards, adding a layer of complexity and potential conflict to the cooperative gameplay.
