Zombie games usually throw the horde at everyone on one shared board. In Run, Fight, or Die! each player has an individual board with zombies only you will meet, and they move closer to you every round. You run from location to location, hunting for weapons and survivors in a desperate attempt to stay alive. Survivors can bring new skills or new problems, and every survivor is worth victory points. The game ends when someone finds five survivors and calls the final round, reaches the town line with enough Followers in play, or gets bitten and turns. A 2014 push-your-luck game with dice and a solo mode, for one to four, about forty minutes.

Who it's for

You like zombie themes, push-your-luck dice and games that also work on your own.

Not for you if…

You want deep interaction between players. Everyone mostly plays their own board here.

Vibe's take

Tense and personal. You race against your own board, grab one more survivor than is wise and curse your dice when the zombies close in.
