Zombie: Shambling and Hungry

What to Expect

In Zombie: Shambling and Hungry, you play as a hungry zombie competing to get ahead of the horde. You play cards matching the active suit to discard your hand quickly, while pushing other zombies back or passing cards onto them. The first player to discard all cards wins this fast-paced, interactive contest of zombie dominance.

Who Is This Game For?

Suitable for players aged 10 and up, it offers short, dynamic gameplay with simple rules. This family-friendly game requires little prior experience and is ideal for casual groups of 2 to 4 players. With a duration around 30 minutes, it fits well as a quick game or warm-up.

How It Works

Players each hold cards in one of four suits. On your turn, you play a card matching the active suit on the discard pile. If you can't, you must pick up the pile. Special combinations let you play multiple cards at once. The goal is to be the first to discard all cards. The trick-taking mechanic creates tactical decisions and player interaction.

Designed by Benjamin Gerber, this game blends classic trick-taking with a zombie theme highlighted by four unique suits. Unlike traditional trick-taking games, it offers quick, interactive rounds without downtime. While it has no official awards, it stands out for its theme and brevity.

Setting & Atmosphäre

Set in a zombie apocalypse, players compete to lead the horde. The horror atmosphere is supported by four card suits: Hearts, Splatters, Biohazards, and Palms.
