Set in the near future (as imagined 70 years ago), Zone Runners is the number one show on TV. Each week a team of three contestants tries to complete a Level by running along narrow pathways that hover high in the sky. The better they perform, the more credits they win. At random intervals gaps appear in these tracks, over which players must jump, or otherwise fall onto the pathway below. And large mutant creatures, known as Blockers, are also waiting to try to stop their progress.

The aim of this solitaire micro game is to win as many credits as you can! Each Level consists of 3 tracks (high, mid and low), divided into 7 Zones (cards). The game has 3 Levels, each getting progressively more difficult. Runners who successfully reach a Level’s End Zone are awarded points (credits), depending on the height of track and the Level. A runner who completes one Level can then tackle the next one (hopefully with their other team mates if they also finished it). You control a team of 3 Runners. You’ll be rolling dice and deciding how best to assign them so that each Runner has the best chance of progressing. Runners also have special abilities that can modify their dice score.

Zone Runners was voted Best Solitaire Game in the 2017 9-card Nanogame PnP Design Contest. It was also voted 2nd Best Overall Game.

EXPANDED EDITION This edition adds 2 expansions, 4 character ability reference cards, an updated turn tracker card and card backs. Available from both PNP Arcade https://www.pnparcade.com/products/zone-runners and Randomskill Games https://randomskill.games/product/zone-runners/
