Dawn of the Dead (based on the classic 1978 horror film) can be played as a two-player game (humans vs. zombies), as a solitaire game, or as a cooperative game with two to four players controlling the human heroes. The game map represents the shopping mall from the movie. Cardboard counters signify the four human characters and randomly-sized groups of zombies. Play is highly asymmetric — the humans are fast but badly outnumbered and subject to paralyzing panic attacks, while the zombies are slow but relentless and unlimited. To win, the zombies must kill the humans; the humans must secure the mall by closing all four entrances and eliminating all zombies within. Special rules cover berserk zombies, hidden zombies, and infected humans becoming terrifying super zombies. Microbadges Zombie Fan Dawn of the Dead fan
