Played for you

Eaten by Zombies

In Cahoots

If you are the last human surviving, you will win; it is also possible that all still living can win together, if there are no zombies left in the zombie deck or the discard pile; among the living the one still holding most cards is the individual winner. You have your own draw pile and your own discard pile.

The expansion In Cahoots can be played as an extension for Eaten by Zombies or can be played as a stand-alone game for two players.

There are two new starting decks with twelve cards each and also a new Zombie Set "In Cahoots" - such a Zombie set always features five cards with a unique ability. This set comprises one Level 3 Zombie and four Zombies with a "Draw" icon. Eleven new Swag piles allow for some variety, six of them are chosen for a game. You draw six cards from your previously shuffled starter deck; in your turn you turn up the top card from the Zombie deck and add it to the horde; then other players can add zombies to the horde. Finally, the active player decides if he wants to fight or fell. If you fight you use cards with the corresponding symbol, and do the same in analogy with cards of the respective symbol if you decide to flee. When a card has a "draw" symbol you can play it regardless of the other symbols.

Zombies eliminated by a player stay in your deck; if you want to get rid of them you must add them to the attacking zombie horde. If you are most adroit to use the complex interactions of the cards, you win.

This offers an interesting mix of cooperative and competitive elements; surely an interesting extension for the genre for fans of Zombie games, albeit with a rather large element of chance.
