About the game
Week 4 after the outbreak. Field report: "Almost a month after the incident, the city is infested with zombies. We have no hope of finding a cure for the virus and even if we did, it may be too late. But there are still survivors on the streets and our first priority must be to save them..." Will you manage to find them and take them to your shelter or will you succumb to the zombies? Watch out, as the infected are not the only threat. The nearby shelters will also compete to draw in the survivors, and will try to boycott your efforts with all the means at their disposal, as they are aware that only the most prosperous shelter will have a chance to survive the threat. SilenZe is a card game in which 2 to 6 players (over 14 years old) will compete to attract human survivors to their shelter in the outskirts of a city infested with zombies, while protecting themselves from this new threat. —description from the publisher
