PLAYED FOR YOU

Risiko The Walking Dead

Survival Edition

You are the leader of a group of survivors and are thus responsible for their fate; you try to ensure their survival by conquering new land for resources and fighting Zombies and other groups of survivors.

In the mode Überleben each player turn begins with a Zombie outbreak - you draw territory cards and place Zombies; encounters with survivors are resolved instantly - and an event. Then survivors receive reinforcements and attack; finally, you regroup survivors in controlled territories. For conquered areas you receive ammunition chests, which you can, when reinforcing the group, exchange for additional survivors. When the card Overrun is drawn, each player has one more turn to finish the round and then you win, after a final outbreak of Zombies, with most points from controlled regions and locations, zone supplements and bullets.

In the variant Eroberung - an updated version of the basic Risk - you must conquer all regions and be the only survivor. Five can play, one player takes on the role of Zombies. Zombies are treated no differently from other groups and there is no bonus for fighting zombies. The variant lets you choose between two procedures to arrive at a starting situation, either by using area cards or be rolling dice for the order of placing markers. Thin you take your turns: You first receive additional markers and place them, then you attack areas occupied by opposing groups and then, if applicable, receive ammunition chests and regroup your survivors.

A very good adaption to the topic featuring nice details, a variant this of interest to fans of the mechanisms in Risk as well to fans of the topic.
