City of the Living

"City of the Living" plunges you into a harrowing world where civilization has crumbled under the endless tide of zombies. As death becomes commonplace and the undead roam freely, small enclaves of survivors like you must rise from the ashes to forge a new way of life. In this game, strategy, quick thinking, and fortitude are your main tools for survival.

In "City of the Living," you command a bastion of humanity, tasked with managing a group of survivors who have secured a safe zone amidst the chaos. The goal is to scavenge for resources crucial for sustenance and fortification. Through strategic use of these resources, you will build, expand, and reinforce your safe haven against the ever-present threat of the zombies. Each player is pitted against both the undying and each other, competing to see who can most effectively manage their resources and expand their territory under constant threat.

The game mechanics are thoughtfully designed to simulate the challenges of post-apocalyptic leadership. They involve progressive turn order, keeping each round dynamic as players continuously adjust their strategies in response to evolving conditions. Tile placement and open drafting allow for the custom expansion and fortification of your territory, while income generated from your developments ensures the sustaining of your small community. Track movement provides strategic depth, influencing how players interact with the game environment and each other.
