Description

Zero Hour is a survival horror game that drops 2 to 6 players into a desperate fight for survival, where the goal is to keep your group of children alive and sane from midnight to sunrise. The game is set in motion with a terrifying bus crash, leaving the kids stranded and alone in the woods, with no help expected until daybreak. Players must assemble their team of survivors by choosing one gifted child card and four random child cards, each with their own unique characteristics, such as age, sanity level, and special abilities. As the night wears on, players take turns drawing cards from the Hour deck, advancing time and bringing the dawn closer, but also unleashing new terrors and challenges. The gifted children have special powers that can help the group survive, such as absorbing damage or evading attacks, while the other children's abilities and sanity levels will be tested as the night progresses. With a simple ruleset that's easy to learn, Zero Hour is all about making tough decisions to keep your children alive and sane, and earning the most points by sunrise to be declared the winner. Will you be able to guide your group through the darkness and emerge victorious, or will the horrors of the night consume them all?
