Zero Signal: Supply Run

The end times have arrived, and the dead walk the Earth. As day breaks upon the city streets, brave teams of survivors scrounge for supplies at the edge of the urban sprawl. The disease is virulent, however, and every cache of food and supplies discovered carries the risk of being overtaken by the undead.

In ZERO SIGNAL Supply Run, you lead a camp of survivors striving to locate supplies in the city and bring them back safely. The zombie threat continues to grow, however, and every discovery carries with it the risk of being attacked and eaten. The object of the game is to collect the most food and supplies before the city streets are overrun completely.

Supply Run is a fun and simple card game. Cards are laid out face down in a 4x4 grid, and players take turns drawing cards to find food, supplies, weapons, or zombies. Food and supplies are point cards that are added to your hoard or your hand respectively, while weapons can be used to control the emerging zombie threat. Once zombie cards claim an entire row or column, the game is over and points are tallied.

Since a player's hoard is face up on the board, and supplies and weapons are kept in a limited hand, strategies involve keeping zombies at bay until you believe you've amassed the most points, then drawing them out to finish the game. Average play time is around 15 to 20 minutes, and the basic game serves 2 to 4 players.
