About the game
The zombie apocalypse creeps across the world like a cancer, gutting cities and driving survivors to find refuge beyond areas of previously dense population. This struggle is seen everywhere, but it's not the whole story... Who are these survivors, and why do they fight to survive? Zombies!!!: Deadtime Stories is a collection of storyline scenarios for the award-winning Zombies!!! board game. Players can take on specific roles, each with their own special quirks and abilities, and they strive to accomplish things beyond just getting out of the area alive. They gain experience over time, growing as heroes of the post-human world.

The catalogue lists Zombies!!! Deadtime Stories for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
