World War Z: The Game

Players work together to contain a zombie pandemic spreading across the globe, traveling between zones and battling hordes of varying strength. Each player selects a role with a unique ability and uses dice-based combat alongside reusable Weapons and one-shot Tactics. Victories reduce a horde’s strength, while defeats force players to discard Combat Cards. Threat Escalation cards increase the danger at the end of each turn. A player who loses all Combat Cards becomes an undead player, gaining control of hordes and working against the remaining humans. After a set number of rounds, the humans win if no more than ten powerful hordes remain on the map.
