Skybound Entertainment announced it has teamed with Button Shy Games, for The Walking Dead: Surrounded, a new card game in a world brimming with the undead.
Here is what we learned about the game from the press release that was sent to us:
Based on the groundbreaking comic by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead: Surrounded is a 1-4 player cooperative game where players work together to keep Walkers in check and Leaders in balance while maximizing the limited resources and fulfilling the goals to survive. The game encapsulates the struggles of surviving an undead apocalypse, all within a pocket-sized wallet game.
Each turn, players reveal a new card and add it to the ever-growing map. One side of the card features a new Location, introducing a special rule for an opportunity to score as well as a location bonus to indicate valuable resources that survivors can gather there if they work together. The flip side features a unique set of 4 Occupants. Some are Survivors, who earn points and help scavenge, while others are powerful Leaders that can make a big difference on the field…if they’re not struggling against each other for power. And of course there are the Walkers, capable of spreading across the map in the blink of an eye. Place Locations and Occupants carefully to keep the Walkers in check and the Leaders in balance, all while maximizing the team’s limited resources and trying to fulfill your scenario’s goals. The survival of the human race depends on it.
There is also a 6-card expansion called The Walking Dead: Surrounded – Under Siege that introduces new mercenary Occupants, locations, and more to add to the gameplay.
The Walking Dead: Surrounded is available now for $12.00, while the expansion set is only $4.00.
