Zed Deck (2011)

About this game

Zed Deck is a solitaire print-and-play card game. You must battle and dodge zombies while gathering supplies before the full moon, when all the zombies go into a frenzy. In your search you will encounter events such as various zombies, other survivors, and different hazards. You decide how many resources you wish to devote to overcoming an event (in the form of cards drawn). The more cards you draw the better your chance of overcoming the event but the less cards left in the deck to potentially gain supplies and equipment.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
