Players take on the role of survivors navigating city streets filled with zombies. Movement and combat are determined by dice rolls. Players must conserve bullets and protect their life counters while aiming to reach the helipad or kill a total of 25 zombies first. When a player dies, they lose progress and return to the start. The modular board and dice-driven zombie movement create a dynamic gameplay experience.
