What it is about

Bad news! You’re in Manhattan and it’s overrun with zombies! You’ve been laying low, but now it’s time to leave your sanctuary and make a break for the safety of the New Jersey Refugee Camp! It’s been weeks since the outbreak occurred; the city streets aren’t getting any safer – more New Yorkers are getting turned every day; the number of zombies is increasing, and the army are moving in. To get out alive, you must make it out of Harlem, through Central Park, Midtown and finally survive the Lincoln Tunnel.  Good luck - you’re going to need it! Physical copies available for delivery within the UK; click here to find out more! New York Zombies is a one-page, A4 tri-fold brochure solo game that plays in 25-30 minutes (or less if you're character doesn't make it out of Harlem!). The game includes: Rules including combat, skill tests, loot and push-your-luck mechanics Six unique character types each with a different special ability Four locations your character must travel through, each with combat encounters and events Three final bosses that must be overcome! Includes the following files: A main tri-fold two-sided game sheet A character sheet to track your health, stats and items A low-ink version of the main sheet A detailed written playthrough to give you a sense of the game flow What you will need to play: A copy of the rules, a character sheet (included), a pencil and the following dice: D4, D6, D8, D10, D20 Warning : contains zombies and the sort of violence you might associate with the horror genre.
