Description
In The Encounter, you and up to 7 friends are trapped in a zombie-infested mansion, desperately trying to escape. The rules are easy to learn, but the stakes are high - failure will turn you into one of the undead. With a playtime of just 10 to 20 minutes, this thrilling game is perfect for a quick horror fix. Designed by Nate Atwater and published in 2016, The Encounter combines area movement, dice rolling, and team-based gameplay to create a tense and exciting experience. As you navigate the mansion, you'll need to crack combination locks on each door to progress, all while avoiding the zombie threat. The roll of the dice will decide your fate, making each game a unique and suspenseful experience. With its blend of horror, math, and dice rolling, The Encounter is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, eager to find out if you and your friends will make it out alive.
