Zombie in My Pocket is a free print-and-play solo game, a 2007 take by Jeremiah Lee under a Creative Commons licence (not the 1 to 8 player Cambridge Games Factory edition). You are searching a house and its yard for the secret of an evil temple, with a modular board built from tiles that change every game. Pick up a machete, a golf club, a chain saw or a grisly femur to bash the zombies that rise. Find the zombie totem, bury it in the backyard graveyard before midnight and you have saved the world. If not, you are zombie food. About five minutes per play, fits in a pocket.

Who it's for

You want a tiny solo horror game you can print for free and play on a coffee break.

Not for you if…

You want a group game, or you expect the 1 to 8 player boxed edition. This one is the solo print-and-play version.

Vibe's take

A short, tense solo scramble. The map grows as you go, the clock runs, and every room could be a weapon or a mouthful of trouble.
