How to play: First, choose your survivor and get your unique card deck. The game starts with a player taking on the leader role. The leader draws two event cards each turn and picks one to determine the group's approach. Everyone then works together based on that approach to face the scenario, like scavenging for supplies or fighting the dead. As you play, manage your hand of cards carefully as they represent your actions, abilities, and health. Keep an eye on group morale too, as many game effects can lower it. If morale hits zero, you lose the game. Note: The paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Also, since you can't discuss the leader's decision, the leader has to make tough calls. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a card protector to prevent wear and tear. Store the game in a dry place to avoid damage to the miniature figure and other components.
