Overview
What ABG knows about this game
A group of students from the University of Texas has decided to go for a field trip to an abandoned military base, lost in the middle of the desert, but once they arrive, nothing happens as expected. Indeed, the old base has become a laboratory for a Mexican drug cartel, exploiting at will a cheap and dutiful workforce: zombies! And this doesn't count the other strange creatures that have lost themselves in this forsaken place... In Texas Zombies, each player is secretly a member of one of two teams: Beta Lambda and Darwin & Dragons. During the game, each player must face a variety of situations — either dangerous, terrifying or simply unlikely — and try to overcome them using only the random items he has on hand. The active player tells a story using 1-3 of the item cards he has in hand, then everyone else votes on whether or not he survives. If he does, he keeps the threat card, and whichever team has collected the most threats at game end wins.
