A set of Event Cards that provide all the info you need at a glance, from friends, enemies, zombies, loot and more. Newly designed Player Aid cards to help you keep track of your characters and their “stuff”. An easy to use campaign system that ties all your games together where the results of one affect the results of the next. Six 11” x 17” maps that can be laid out in over 50 different ways, making each game unique.
