3. Competitive free-for-all with game controlled Zombies.

THEME: Modern day Zombie outbreak at the Echo Ridge Mall.

HOOK: Fast paced, portable, and tons of replayability. Play as the survivors or the Zombies. Plus ITEMeeples!

WIN: Survivors must complete 3 objectives - Zombies must kill all the Survivors or gain control of the Mall's Courtyard.

OVERVIEW: In Tiny Epic Zombies, survivors are always on the run, collecting weapons, killing Zombies and working toward completing objectives. Completing 3 objectives can win you the game but if you're too focused on the objectives, the Zombies will overrun the mall and that will be the end of you.

Based on the mode of play, you will either play as one of the Survivors or as the Zombies.

As a Survivor, your turn will consist of moving 3 times. Then based on where you move, you'll be able to do additional things. For instance, if you move into a room with a Zombie, you'll have to fight it by rolling the Zombie die. Or if you move into a room adjacent to a Zombie, you can spend ammo to shoot it. Killing a Zombie is actually pretty easy... but they just keep coming. Keeping them from overrunning the entire mall, while trying to accomplish your objectives, that is hard!

After you've taken your 3 moves, you'll search the room. This is done by revealing the Search Card you are holding. Most of the time, you find something useful, like awesome items you can later pickup and equip to your ITEMeeples. Sometimes though, you may find a Zombie lurking in the corner. So be prepared.
After you search the room, more Zombies flood into the Mall. Then it's the next player's turn. Simple as that.

Note: If your ammo and wound tokens ever meet, you're dead meat! So, keep your wounds low and your ammo high.

If you die, that character will turn into a Zombie and you'll have to draw a new character to play. If that happens too many times, you lose the game.

As a Zombie player, not only will you control unique Zombies with special abilities, you will control ALL the Zombies! With your help, the Zombies will have a brain in addition to eating brains. Your game will be to overwhelm the players with clever placement and movement of the Zombies. Smother them with your Zombie horde and prevent them from completing their objectives. If you kill enough players or overrun the mall courtyard, you win.

Lots of content in a little box

Honestly, I love this game. Multiple ways to play, lots of variation in characters and objectives, and having one player control the zombies and the search deck really adds to it.

My only gripes are set up can take a bit, and the randomness of objectives chosen for the game can result in an easier game for either team. I'll probably eventually get the playmat to keep the table organized and so it doesn't slip around as much.

The Item Meeples are cool, but I don't bother with them since they're purely aesthetic.

Small box, several modes to play, and lots of randomization for replayability.

Tight mechanics and theming, lots of replayability

A fun and well designed game that supports 1-5 players in both co-op and competitive play. Like other Tiny Epic games it offers a great amount of replayability and enjoyment in a very affordable and low profile package. In a time of pointlessly bloated hype-based Kickstarter games, Gamelyn's ethos of just making good games with the right amount (and the right kind) of components is much appreciated.

Maximize your actions!

Si far this game hit the table 3-4 times, and each game we won with only 2 or 3 turn remaining (no card in the search deck). It is really well balanced and simple to learn.
A huge plus for this game is all the different mode, you can play coop, competitive and even everyone vs one player.

The game is quick and before you know it you only have 4 cards in your search deck (this represent the amount of turn you have left before losing) and still have one or two objects to finish!

Lots of modes of play

Highly enjoyable cooperative game, different modes of play and variety, would like to see an expansion for this one.

Should be bigger

Great game mechanically with several ways to play. It feels like it should be on a bigger board or something. The 9 cards can be annoying to setup and use. It feels like it was designed and then redesigned for the sake of the small box
