About the game
You and your group are survivors of the zombie apocalpyse. Your supplies are low. Tension is high. On your last supply raid there was an attack...and it is possible one of you has been bitten... You have five minutes to either gather enough supplies to leave your group...or you must discover and eliminate the player who has been bitten. Bitten is a micro-game for 2-4 Players with a 5 minute time limit. Players must attempt to gather one food ration, one water ration, one weapon, and the one available vehicle to leave the group, or they must discover which, if any, of the members of their group have been bitten before time runs out and the bitten player becomes a member of the walking undead and eats your brains.
