This summer will see a new zombie game, set in the Old West, arrive from Inside Up Games. In The Quick and the Undead, players will aim to clear the town of West Fort of zeds while also maneuvering to have their outlaw claim the town outright. The game is for one to six players, ages 8+, plays in 45 minutes to an hour, and will carry an MSRP of $42.00 when it arrives in August.
From Inside Up:
Ride into West Fort, a small town in the Wild West overrun with undead and show the inhabitants you are not to be crossed. Gain more Notoriety than your fellow Outlaws, take control of the town and claim it as your own. Plan your actions carefully to maximize their effect and prepare to fight over common goals. Earn, steal and shoot your way to notoriety whether in-game, by controlling unique buildings, or by clearing out the undead plaguing the town.
In The Quick & The Undead, all players secretly select 1 of the 8 actions by setting the corresponding number on their D8. Players reveal their numbers simultaneously and place an outlaw from their stash onto their chosen action. If two or more players have an outlaw on the same action, they will duel. Players will gain resource such as Coins, Bullets, and Notoriety in an attempt to gain the upper hand, and take control of the unique buildings. When all Undead are killed the game will end, and players will add up their Notoriety from tokens taken, Undead killed, and buildings owned. The player with the highest notoriety wins.
