Dawn of the Zeds (Second Edition)

Defend Farmingdale and its surrounding villages from waves of undead in a card-driven solitaire survival game. Players recruit and move heroes, rally citizens, and fight or contain Zeds while managing resources, morale, and a tunnel track that introduces tougher Super Zeds. Scenarios include a tutorial, classic and advanced modes, and varying game lengths from short skirmishes to campaign play. Gameplay uses cards, modular maps, and laser-cut counters to resolve encounters, spawn hordes, and track objectives such as researching a cure, eliminating the mastermind in the tunnels, and keeping the town intact.

Dawn of the Zeds is by now the best solitaire board game that I possess. It tells perfectly the zombie apocalypse story on a board game: how the survivors organize, get armed and resist the advancing mobs of undead in a besieged town. I am delighted by the great amount of possibilities and decisions you have. It feels very thematic and immersive, and it is a shame that this game is -by now- just solitaire. The only flaws are its length (too long for a solitaire) and the rules, which are unnecessarily demanding. The level of difficulty is too high (I won after 6 plays).
