The Refuge: A Race for Survival

About this board game

The Refuge: A Race for Survival is a post-apocalyptic zombie strategy game for 2–6 players, with a listed play time of 60 minutes. Each player races to be the first to reach the final refuge while facing zombies and competing directly against the other survivors.

Movement is central to the game, but every move creates a new decision. Whenever you move, you activate a floor tile with a special feature. These tiles shape the race and make each step matter as you work toward safety.

The Refuge is designed as a tournament-style zombie board game in which up to six players compete for survival. Winning is not simply about moving forward; you must also fend off zombies and respond to the choices made by your opponents. With decisions having a major impact, player skill plays an important role in every game.
