About this board game

Tiny Epic Zombies is a fast-paced zombie survival board game for 1–5 players, with a playing time of about 45 minutes and a 2018 release.

A modern-day outbreak has trapped survivors inside Echo Ridge Mall. Players must search rooms, collect useful items, fight through ever-growing hordes, and complete three objectives before the Zombies overrun the mall.

As a Survivor, you move three times during your turn, with your location determining what you can do. Fight Zombies in the same room by rolling the Zombie die, or spend ammo to shoot an adjacent threat. After moving, reveal your Search Card: you may find valuable equipment for your ITEMeeple, or discover a Zombie waiting in ambush.

Once the room has been searched, more Zombies flood into the mall. Wounds and ammunition must be carefully managed, because if they ever meet, your character dies. A fallen character becomes a Zombie, and you draw a new Survivor—though too many deaths will cost your team the game.

In Zombie-controlled modes, one player commands every Zombie, using their movement and special abilities to surround Survivors and disrupt their plans. The Zombie side wins by killing all Survivors or taking control of the mall’s Courtyard.

With multiple modes, portable play, ITEMeeples, and constantly changing searches and threats, Tiny Epic Zombies delivers a tense battle between completing objectives and simply staying alive.
