Zombie

A slow-spreading apocalypse. One starts; everyone ends.

How to play

• One player starts as a zombie (red marker).
• The zombie tags survivors. A tagged survivor becomes a zombie too.
• The horde grows. Survivors must avoid getting close to any zombie.

Setup

• 4+ players.
• Place the Play area wide enough that surviving feels possible.

Winning

• Zombies win when no survivors remain.
• Survivors win by being the last human standing.

Tips

• As a survivor, don’t bunch up — one tag can turn the tide quickly.
• As a zombie, herd survivors toward the edges of the play area.

For builders

Zombie is Tag’s infection cousin: tagging spreads the role instead of handing it off (the tagger stays a zombie).

• Demonstrates: an infection variant of the tagging pattern and a last-one-standing win condition.
