Dead Panic

Players take on distinct survivor characters with special abilities and cooperate to hold a remote cabin against encroaching waves of zombies. Gameplay alternates between players drawing cabin cards—weapons and limited items used to fight and bolster survivors—and resolving event cards that spawn zombies and trigger special effects. Zombies move in from the board edges toward the central cabin; injured characters can die and re-enter play as undead with altered rules. Players collect radio pieces by surviving long enough to call for rescue, then attempt individual escapes once help arrives.
