The dead rise to walk among and feed upon the living. However, they are not of one mind. The lords of the dead are bitter rivals. Tonight, in the sleepy town of Smallton, they will settle their grudges once and for all, pitting their shambling hordes against each other in a battle for dominance.

Equipment:

• A Zombie Wars board (available on the website)
• A color-coded Zombie Wars Horde Tracker and set of Zombie Horde pawns for each player (available on the website)
• An Hourglass pawn
• A bunch of tokens (50 + 3 per player) to represent Zombies and townspeople
• A bunch of d6es (12 or more) to roll for combat between Zombies and townspeople
• Some d8s, d10s, d12s and d20s to represent heroic townspeople
• 2d8 to select random spaces on the board

Zombie Wars is a quick tactical game for 2 to 4 players. Each player starts the game with a small horde of zombies. During the game you overrun clusters of townspeople, adding them to your horde. Your ultimate goal is to build a zombie horde that’s large enough to annihilate the hordes of your rivals. If you have the most zombies on the board at the end of the game, you win.

Zombie Wars uses a custom board, tokens, and zombie horde tracker; a bunch of tokens; about 12 six-sided dice; at least two eight-sided dice; and a few ten-, twelve-, and twenty-sided dice. A four-player game takes about 90 minutes to play. Zombie Wars is appropriate for ages 15 and older.
