Description of Zpocalypse board game

Zpocalypse is a survival board game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Two to four players start in a basement/fallout shelter which can lead out to several base locations or even through the tunnels to sewer grates throughout the transformable board. The survivors are trying to make it day to day in a world torn apart from the walking dead.

As in any survival game, one needs food, guns, ammo, and more. Players go out into the wasteland and scavenge for supplies, or perhaps to find a new gun or melee weapon to fend off the next zombie attack. In addition to gathering supplies, each player forms and controls his own squad – and each squad works to fortify the bases. Your walls and barbed wire won’t hold the dead for long, however, and they’re getting hungry.

Characters receive victory points for killing zombies, building defenses, and successfully completing goals. Victory points show who is soldiering on the best in this wasteland. The final tally of points determines the winner. Victory points also act as experience points for leveling up a character.

The game combines combat, tactics, resource collecting, character development, team play, and strategy towards the goal of surviving in the Zpocalypse!

"I had heard a radio transmission saying the army had been overrun in the city and the government was gonna nuke the whole area. Well a few of us – the smart ones – we headed ourselves up n’ out to this old abandoned hotel with a fallout shelter.

About a week or two ago, they dropped the big one. When it came, not all of us were inside. Some’ve us had been out scavenging. I don’t like to think on it much. The rest of us closed the doors and huddled together, with hell on earth raging outside.

We have made it so far in the shelter. We are nearly out of supplies and need to find more. We have to open the doors, and hope it is all worth it.”
