About this game

The Refuge: A Race for Survival is a post-apocalyptic zombie strategy game. The goal of the game is to be the first to reach the refuge while fending off zombies and other players. Each time you move, you activate a floor tile which have special features. The only tournament style zombie board game out there where you compete with six players in order to be the first one to reach the final refuge. Learning it takes less than five minutes, mastering it will take a while. Decisions make a big impact, and gameplay ranges heavily on the players skills: five minutes to one hour.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
