Hit Z Road

Bid your fuel and ammo for the best route, then spend what is left fighting your way to the coast.

A road trip down Route 66 from Chicago to the California coast, except the country is overrun by zombies. Each round starts with an auction for turn order and route, and the fuel and bullets you bid with are the same ones you need to survive the fights.

Who it's for

Groups who want a short adventure with real risk, and solo players looking for a compact push-your-luck campaign.

Not for you if…

Player elimination bothers you, since a bad run can knock you out before the coast. The dice can also flatten a well-played auction, and horror imagery makes it a poor fit for younger kids.

Vibe's take

Tense and grim with a wink. Every auction is a bet that you will not need those bullets in ten minutes, and you are usually wrong.
