As this year’s The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live reminded us, The Walking Dead is an addiction…and the only cure is more Walking Dead! Fortunately, we here at Skybound have just the thing to feed your undying habit. Today sees the release of The Walking Dead: Surrounded, a cooperative tabletop card game that invites you to help determine the future of the human race in the wake of the apocalypse. You can order the game now. Check out the full official details below…
Night falls. The remnants of humanity scavenge for necessities amid the abandoned landscape of their former lives, their eyes always watching for the shambling hordes that are never far away. In the pockets where people still survive, hard choices must be made: where to go, what to do, and who to trust.
The Walking Dead: Surrounded is a cooperative game for 1-4 players. Each turn, the players reveal a new card and add it to the ever-growing map. One side of the card features a new Location, introducing a special rule or an opportunity to score as well as a location bonus to indicate valuable resources that survivors can gather there if they work together.
The flip side features a unique set of 4 faces. Some are Survivors, who earn points and help scavenge, while others are powerful Leaders that can make a big difference on the field…if they’re not struggling against each other for power. And of course there are the Walkers, capable of spreading across the map in the blink of an eye.
Place Locations and faces carefully to keep the Walkers in check and the Leaders in balance, all while maximizing the team’s limited resources and trying to fulfill your scenario’s goals. The survival of the human race depends on it.
