In Hunter's Island: Zombies, players explore an island to find better gear, equip themselves, or attack opponents. Zombies constantly threaten players and can turn defeated players into zombies who then attack others. The game continues until only one player remains standing.
Who Is This Game For?
This is a medium complexity game for 2 to 4 players aged 8 and up. With a playtime of about 45 minutes, it's suitable for casual game nights. Prior experience with deck building or player elimination mechanics is helpful but not required.
How It Works
