About The Walking Dead: Surrounded

Night falls. The remnants of humanity scavenge for necessities amid the abandoned landscape of their former lives, their eyes always watching for the shambling hordes that are never far away. In the pockets where people still survive, hard choices must be made: where to go, what to do, and who to trust. The Walking Dead: Surrounded is a co-operative game for 1-4 players. Each turn, the players reveal a new card and add it to the ever-growing map. One side of the card features a new location, introducing a special rule or an opportunity to score as well as a location bonus to indicate valuable resources that survivors can gather there if they work together. The flip side features four characters, with each character next to one edge of the card. Some are survivors, who earn points and help scavenge, while others are powerful leaders who can make a big difference on the field...if they're not struggling against each other for power. And of course there are the walkers, capable of spreading across the map in the blink of an eye. Place locations and characters carefully to keep the walkers in check and the leaders in balance, all while maximizing the team's limited resources and trying to fulfill your scenario's goals. The survival of the human race depends on it. —description from the publisher
