Game Summary

Billed alternately as a story game, a roleplaying game, or a board game, Zombie Cinema: Story Game of the Living Dead straddles the lines between the usual definitions. The game uses a board to create a cooperative story resembling that of a zombie movie, as the characters race to stay ahead of the walking dead. The game is structured around sessions, two to three hours in length, and is generally played with three to six players.

Game Editions

Notes on This Edition
Packaged in a VHS cassette case, which contains the board, 27 Cinema Cards, 6 character pawns, 6 dice, 1 zombie pawn, 1 round marker, and the rules sheet. $20.00. This refers to the English language release. The game was originally released in Finnish in 2006. While the rules are the same, the English language version is shorter and has less advice on strategy, and uses cards instead of the original sticks.

7 / 10MulrahA little costly for a game that's only about one thing, but it does nail its subject. We had a great time playing and came up with a typical zombie flick story, ridiculous flaws and all, and all players are interested in playing again.
