Description

In the survival action card game Card of the Dead, players are trapped in a town overrun by zombies and must try to survive the night. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 5 players can jump into the action, trying to outlast each other in a desperate bid to escape the zombie horde. Each turn, players draw a card from a deck containing zombies, items, and events, and must use a combination of luck and strategy to stay alive. As players navigate the zombie-infested town, they'll need to use hand management skills to make the most of the cards they're dealt. Certain items will give them a chance to flee, while others will help them barricade themselves against the undead siege. The game is over in just 15 minutes, but the excitement and tension will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to be the first to escape or the last one standing.
