City of Zombies Maths Game
City of Zombies – The Ultimate Edition (4th Edition)
Winner: Best Family Board Game, Best Maths Game, Excelled in Schools, Dice Tower Seal of Approval, Recommended by National Numeracy.
City of Zombies is a co-operative board game for 1 to 6 players. Players play together, against the game to win.
The aim of the game is to stop your Barricade from being overrun, holding the Zombies off until the Rescue Plane can land, and players win.
Players take it in turn to roll and combine dice making a total that matches a Zombie’s strength to remove it from play.
Multiple Zombies can be defeated this way on one players turn.
Clear the board of Zombies and you can save human survivors from the City. The more survivors you save, the better your end-game score will be, but beware! Allow Zombies to reach your Barricade and you will lose survivors, and if six Zombies are on the Barricade then it’s Game Over!
Originally developed to assist the designer’s maths adverse daughter with her maths, City of Zombies is a fast and fun way to improve numeracy.
It is non-threatening, builds confidence and encourages learning by rewarding players as their skill improve.
The Ultimate Edition adds 4 levels of play to suit all maths abilities; Beginner, Advanced, Expert and Master.
It’s simple to pick up and play thanks to the included step-by-step guide and illustrated rules booklet.
City of Zombies can be played in as little as 20 minutes (short version).
The Ultimate Edition introduces negative number Zombies and Cubing.
