About the game
The Eaten By Zombies!: Weapons of Mass Destruction mini-expansion consists of five sets of swag cards which were unlocked during the Kickstarter funding of Eaten By Zombies!: In Cahoots. These cards all help kill zombies, which is a change from swag cards in Eaten By Zombies!: In Cahoots, which mostly assisted in fleeing from zombies. These new cards may prove the difference when trying to survive from the zombie hordes and win the game. Eaten By Zombies!: Weapons of Mass Destruction includes five copies each of: Pineapple Double Barrel Boomstick Flame Thrower Six Shooters Molotov Cocktail
