Dead End (2007)

About this game

The dead have risen from their graves and hunger for human flesh! All of a sudden, your quiet neighborhood has become a zombie-infested hell from which escape seems almost impossible. Dead End is a non-collectible card game in which every player manages a diverse group of survivors –which reflect the clichés of the zombie terror movie genre- trying to flee the town. They will not only need to confront the zombies, the other survivors won’t make things easier for them! In order to get away they’ll have to get to several locations and seize weapons, vehicles and items required to break away from the town. The first player who manages to do it will win and the others will become zombie food. Cards have captions in Spanish and English. Rules are available in both languages as well.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 15 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
