Zombie Kidz is a board game released in 2013 for 2–4 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Annick Lobet and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Point to Point Movement.
Zombies are moving into the cemetery close to your home. Unfortunately, none of the parents believe you or your friends, so you decide to take matters into your own hands... In the cooperative children's game Zombie Kidz, players work to stop the zombies from taking over the cemetery by either locking the gates or eliminating the zombies. The game rules can be adapted to increase the difficulty level.
Zombie Kidz supports 2–4 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 Zombie Kidz 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 Zombie Kidz for ages 7 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.
Zombie Kidz has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
