Zombies Keep Out

About this board game

Zombies Keep Out is a fully cooperative board game for 1–6 players, with a play time of about 45 minutes. Released in 2014, it puts goblin inventors behind the barricades of their workshop as a giant mob of zombies closes in.

Working together, you and the other bodgers must rely on mechanical expertise to construct the machines needed to defend the workshop. Collect parts as quickly as possible, then turn those materials into contraptions capable of overcoming the undead attackers trying to break down your doors.

The approaching horde includes several kinds of zombies, each adding to the pressure of the siege:

• Leapers
• Creepers
• Runners
• Brutes

There is little room for mistakes. If a goblin gets bitten, that player is left moaning and groaning as they join the horde and turn on their former friends. The group must therefore balance the urgent need to gather parts and build machines with the constant danger of being overwhelmed.

With its mix of frantic construction, teamwork, and an encroaching zombie attack, Zombies Keep Out challenges players to keep the workshop secure before the undead break through. Coordinate your efforts, assemble whatever machines you can, and repel the endless assault together—or risk becoming part of the horde.
