On the heels of one of the most anticipated of this year’s summer movies, an adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z, University Games has two games arriving tied into the film. One is a co-op board game where players work together to reverse the zombie tide while the second game is a card game where each player looks to tackle their own zombie threat while adding to the misery of their opponents. World War Z: The Game will carry an MSRP of $34.99 while the World War Z Card Game will be available for $11.99.
From University:
In this strategy game based on the action blockbuster starring Brad Pitt, outlast the zombie pandemic by assuming any of six military or Special Forces roles. Players begin in North America and spread out across the world to battle Z’s using a combination of weapons, tactics, and unique abilities. Work together, and choose wisely how boldly to strike at the zombie hordes. Being too timid may result in the entire world becoming overrun, but act too aggressively and you could be overwhelmed by zombies and turned against your allies by becoming a Z yourself.
Zombie hordes appear in four different strength levels – defeat them with the right combination of strategy and luck, using the six, eight, ten, and twelve-sided dice included. The starting layout is random so that no game is the same twice!
Will you succeed in clearing the world of Zs, or will you become one of the infected? Challenging and action-packed, this game is a must-have for both strategy gamers and fans of the movie.
In this game based on the blockbuster starring Brad Pitt, the zombie threat has swept the entire world! Now, choose a home continent besieged by Zs and attempt to secure it by enlisting the aid of soldiers and Elite Forces. Draw cards from the deck to defend your continent with these allies, or with sets of weapon cards, including vicious Axes, Crowbars, and Lobos. Play zombies from your hand onto other players’ continents to prevent them from reaching their goal first!
This game is great for fans of the movie, or anyone looking to be a part of the zombie craze that won’t die!
