Overview

Worthy successor to Two Hour Wargames' Origin Award winner: All Things Zombie. Now revamped, expanded, and improved.

Better Dead Than Zed sweeps you up and sticks you right in the middle of a catastrophic zombie outbreak. Who you are when the outbreak occurs is just as important as where you are. Because unlike other zombie games, where the zombies have been around for awhile, you won't be able to tell the humans from the zombies until maybe it's too late. Because it's all happening to you just like it would on Day One.

Confusion, chaos, and lack of information are just some of the challenges you'll face when the world starts to crumble. Will you have what it takes to survive the first 30 days?

Then what?

All Things Zombie takes you to where no other zombie game has before. Yes, it starts on the first day of the outbreak, but then let's you continue your life building your very own future. It's a game where every detail has been covered, as you first escape the soulless creatures that threaten you, then hunt them down and take back what's yours.

On the way there you'll find out that maybe your most dangerous enemies aren't the zombies, but maybe your neighbors or sometimes your friends. All Things Zombie can be played solo, cooperatively with everyone on the same side, or competitively with everyone against one another. All Things Zombie can be played as a one up game or part of an ongoing campaign.

But it doesn't matter which way you play it, as the goal of All Things Zombie is to rebuild the world, as you knew it; except maybe this time with you in charge.
