Following years of delays, the Kickstarter for a second edition of Carnival Zombie is finally being fulfilled by Albe Pavo. In the game, players attempt to escape a sinking city, which also happens to be overrun by the undead. Carnival Zombie 2E is for one to six players, ages 14+, plays in around 45 to 120 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $85.00 when it hits stores later this Q2.
About the game:
Carnival Zombie is a co-operative board game for 1 to 6 players, following a group of characters who are fleeing on terra firma from a sinking city overrun by zombies. Players control this party of heroes as they fight their way to one of the possible escape routes out of the city. During the night they face restless hordes of zombies, while during the day they recover, move, or search for useful items and survivors.
Use wisely the few daytime hours to prepare yourself for the night, as you will face a flood of zombies when the sun sets! Combat is fast and deterministic and random chance will not jeopardize your decisions, but the horde is fierce and will always put you under though choices. The Pile of Corpses dexterity minigame could make any slain undead rise again, so keep your cool in this ever growing thrill!
The second edition includes new scenarios that will allow you to face totally new challenges! Some of the features that you will find in the scenarios are tutorial scenario, shorter & harder games, traitor mechanics, scalability (variable number of characters, one character for each player), competitive game, more dexterity game and night-only scenarios! Finales also can be played as stand-alone scenarios!
