Description

The dead have risen. Food supplies have dwindled. Places that were safe are now crawling with zombies. What started as a simple virus has now mutated and awoken the dead. Neighbors fight neighbors as they scavenge for what supplies are left. Even the manufactured cures were not enough to save your town. The town has been over run, panic and hysteria have set in, you can no longer trust your neighbor. Gather what supplies you can and try to outlast everyone, but beware... The Dead Rise!

The Dead Rise is a card game in which players fight for survival against zombies that have risen from the grave. Players battle zombies, hide out in structures and gather supplies that could mean the difference between winning and losing. The player that is last standing is the winner, but beware just because a player is defeated in the game doesn’t mean they are removed from the game. Instead they rise as a zombie-player that tries to keep you from being the last one alive.

*Scavenge another players loot cards

*if you getting ready to fight a tough zombie, or run from the wandering zombies, Why not just play the "Meat Shield" card and force another player to do it instead. Remember you don't have to be faster than the zombies, just faster than the survivor next to you.

*Those other pesky survivors running away too much, just throw a "Trip Card" and watch the expression on their face as you spoiled their plan.

Key note:
Even Zombie-Players have a chance at winning the game. If they kill a player with a cure, they steal the cure and are brought back to life and the other player is now a zombie-player. This makes the game very competitive and fun.

Can you be the last one alive?
