The Walking Dead: Surrounded

Players cooperate as small bands of survivors scavenging an abandoned landscape while avoiding and containing shambling hordes. Each turn reveals a new double-sided card that expands the map: one side is a location with a rule, scoring opportunity, and a resource bonus; the other side presents four characters positioned along the card’s edges, which may be survivors, rival leaders, or walkers. Players place cards and characters to control walker spread, balance competing leaders, gather resources, and pursue scenario objectives. The game combines area placement, resource management, and tense decision-making as the group works together to meet goals before threats overwhelm them.
