JUST RUN

JUST RUN is medium-weight, card-driven, tile-placement board game, with both cooperative and competitive scenarios, from Mr. X.

You are survivors of the zombie apocalypse, trapped in an abandoned, treacherous, and unfamiliar building. Somewhere in front of you is safety. Right behind you, a growing horde of the undead. So quickly gather whatever gear you can find--and run.

In the first game phase, you compete with other players for item cards in a panic-inducing timed round. You can use each item in very different ways, including combining it with another card to create new and improved gear.

In the second game phase, each survivor has two actions to do things such as--

Investigating and revealing new room tiles to build your path to escape. Searching for even better gear or, if you are unlucky, a catastrophic event. Using your gear in novel ways to get out of sticky situations. Fighting zombies--and sometimes other survivors.

The zombies, meanwhile, keep spawning and keep coming.

JUST RUN has six scenarios, ranging from cooperative search-and-rescue missions to everyone-for-themselves sprints. And you can play scenarios individually or combine them to create more challenging missions.

Winners must complete the scenario’s mission, escape with at least one health point, and reach the rescue chopper before it fills up.
