📖 About This Game
Escape From Zombie City is a race to get out of the city as zombies are taking over. Players will fight zombies and find weapons, quick cures, backpacks and other fun items along the way. As players fight zombies, they will earn points as they kill the zombies.
If a player gets bit by a zombie 4 times, they become a zombie and chase everyone else. They do lose all of their points and any cards they are holding. This player does not have a chance to win the game, but they can stop the other players from winning the game as well.
The city is a bit of a maze and does have blocked roads. Players are trying to get to an extraction zone that's on the opposite side of the city. When a player reaches the extraction zone, they start a four turn counter and hover above the city in a helicopter that allows them to shoot zombies as they wait for more players to get to the extraction zone. When the four turn counter is over, any player that didn't make it to the helicopter gets left behind and automatically loses the game. Points are added up at the end of the game to see who the winner is.
