A tight solo card game about surviving one apocalyptic night by juggling zombies and survivors round by round.
Who it's for
Solo gamers who want a short, thematic, decision-dense session with real stakes and don't need a table of other players.
Not for you if…
You're looking for a multiplayer experience — Dies Irae is built strictly for one, with no group mode at all.
Vibe's take
Compact and nerve-wracking for one — every card order is a small gamble, and the threat level breathing down your neck makes even a 30-minute session feel dramatic.
Dies Irae is a solitaire card game about surviving a single, hellish night as the world collapses into zombie chaos around you — and somehow talking everyone else into helping you make it to morning. Over 13 rounds, you draw three cards each turn, postpone one, and play the rest, weighing zombies against survivors on a running threat tally. It's the third entry in designer Tony Boydell's Infinity solo trilogy, built for a tight, tense solo sitting.
