You can check out my review of the first edition of the rules on the first of our 2011 Halloween shows.
From Hunters Books:
Have you ever considered playing out the zombie apocalypse in your own hometown? With your own friends? Pitting yourself against the hordes of undead. As a SURVIVOR?
Thousands have tested their Zombie Survival Plan with Outbreak: Undead… and now we’ve made it even better…
Outbreak: Undead originally premiered at GenCon 2010, and won several awards (ENnies 2011 – Judges Choice, GenCon Marketing Fellowship Award) it was vastly popular with the Zombie/Survivalist community and sold a great many books, obtaining a ‘GOLD SELLER’ Rating on DTRPG and many very flattering (and well thought out) reviews.

- Set of Custom “D5!” dice and percentile dice
GM Resources for Easy Gameplay including:
- Opponent Cards (Easy reference to strike the fear into your players)

Despite what it may appear, Outbreak: Undead – 2nd Ed. Starter Kit is NOT A CARD GAME. It is a Role Playing Game and does not require cards to play.
There are also no scripted scenarios, only highly adaptable mission frameworks which allow for tremendous replay value with multiple settings, comparable to any fully-developed role-playing game!
This is not just a Starter Kit, it… it is THE GAME.
But most importantly, included in Outbreak: Undead – 2nd Edition Starter Kit is the 160 page booklet that contains the FULL PLAYABLE RULES for 2nd Edition; and will continue to serve as a handy pocket reference for players and GMs alike, even when the core rulebooks are released.
