About the game
The zombie apocalypse has begun, will you be able to survive? Last One Alive is a fast and fun dice game for 2-5 players. Arm and barricade yourself, use that chainsaw, perform heroic feats... But most of all, try to get the zombies to kill the others before they kill you! Everything is allowed in order to be... the last one alive! Designed by Ole Steiness (Champions of Midgard, Police Precinct), and illustrated by Laura Neri and Francesco Mattioli, Last One Alive uses multiple different custom dice. Each turn, you will select which dice to roll: will you go scavenging, set up barricades, or shoot zombies? But the walking dead are all around, and most of the dice you roll can get you into an ambush. On top of that, as the zombie apocalypse escalates, more and more zombie dice will come into the game, and you must make sure they attack somebody else before they get you! Your only hope is to survive as long as you can. No worry about player elimination - Last One Alive is so fast that you will be soon playing again, even if you die! —description from the publisher

Last One Alive supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Last One Alive is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Last One Alive for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Last One Alive has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
