Zombies!!! The Card Game is a board game released in 2012 for 2–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Todd Breitenstein and Kerry Breitenstein and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
Game description from the publisher: You are so tired. You just can't run anymore. Your breath sounds like a jet engine and sweat has soaked every inch of your body. A shower would be nice. Hell, just being able to catch your breath would be great... Who are we kidding? Ten whole minutes not completely enveloped in sheer terror would be heaven. Too bad the zombie horde looking to make you lunch doesn't see it the same way... Zombies!!! The Card Game simulates the coming zombie apocalypse in card game form. Each player uses her own deck to form the narrative of her attempted escape; the ground-breaking card design allows for each card to be used for the card effect printed on the front or as a location as indicated by the card's back. The first player to make her way to the "helipad" at the bottom of her deck escapes certain death and wins the game. The zombies are right behind you. Do you have what it takes to survive?
Zombies!!! The Card Game supports 2–6 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 Zombies!!! The Card Game is 60 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 Zombies!!! The Card Game for ages 13 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.
