Mall of Horror
Zombies swarm the mall, someone has to be thrown to them, and it had better not be you.
Who it's for
You like social survival games where the table talk is half the fun. A group of six who enjoy a good betrayal will have a blast.
Not for you if…
You want a cooperative zombie game or you have players who take backstabbing personally. Your characters die, and friends vote against you.
Vibe's take
Loud, accusatory and darkly funny. The voting rounds turn friends into suspects, and the zombies are mostly a backdrop for your table talk.
About this game
A shopping mall full of hungry zombies, and a group of survivors who have decided that solidarity is overrated. In Mall of Horror each player controls three characters, a blonde, a bad boy and a brute, each with different abilities and a point value at game's end. The goal is not to kill the most zombies, just to survive. So you move from place to place looking for safety where the zombies are not, and when the horde arrives somebody has to be thrown to them. That somebody is decided by negotiation, lying, alliances and betrayal. It is a short, mean, funny game of social survival, for groups who want to argue loudly and accuse each other of cowardice, best with a full table of six.
