About the game
There are two versions of Zombie in my Pocket, go to Zombie in My Pocket for the 1-player print and play version. The semi-cooperative 1-8 player published version (from Cambridge Games Factory). The game offers players chances to help the group, or play selfishly, and you never know what your fellow zombie bashers are going to do. In Zombie in my Pocket, you're searching for the secret of the evil temple where you can find the item to destroy the zombies rising from the dead. You can pick up items to bash zombies along the way; a machete, golf club, chain saw, or even your former uncle's grisly femur. Find the zombie totem, then bury it in the backyard graveyard before midnight and you've saved the world. Otherwise, you're zombie food.
