About the game
We must stay together - they’re everywhere! Only a few has managed to stay alive after the zombieapocalypse. A small group of survivors hid inside a shopping mall, but the apparently safe place soon turned out to be a dead end - literally! In the face of danger they have only one choice - to escape! However, the only way leads through a parking lot full of brainthirsty zombies… Zombie Terror is an asymmetrical game for two players. One player becomes the leader of the surviving humans who must be smart and ready for any sacrifice if they hope to survive in the world full of deadly surprises. Those brave few have to face endless hordes of bloodthirsty zombies controlled by the other player. As you might expect, those humans are but a game for the mindless monsters prowling every street and building. Desperate courage might not be enough to stop undead hordes. Zombie Terror contains additional game scenarios and rules for creating your own, unique scenarios, guaranteeing high replayability as well as giving you almost limitless options to expand the game!
