"The Knife of Friendship Cuts Deep"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Too many people, not enough supplies, not enough places to hide, growing zombie hordes… You can't help but betray people!

This will entirely depend on the temperament of people you game with but if you like back-stabbing people, you will probably like this, because you're going to have to!

At least for our group, City of Horror succeeded where Lifeboats failed. Lifeboats felt to mechanical while City of Horror gave the external pressures and dilemmas to fuel conflict. It's more swingy, more lucky but it is an absolute riot and offers plenty of variation for future games.

Love this game.

Description

In City of Horror, you're playing a group of humans faced with a zombie invasion. The struggle against the dead is important, but your own survival is vital! To win, you'll have to make alliances but also betray your companions.

A game is played over 4 turns. Each turn represents one hour of time before reinforcements arrive. These turns are played out similarly: zombies arrive, players move one of their characters and then each location is resolved (power and attack).

At the end of the 4 turns of play, the player with the most victory points (characters, food and antidote) wins the game. But be careful: to get into the helicopter, the players will have to make sure each of their living characters has been vaccinated.

Features:

  • SURVIVAL and NEGOTIATION game.
  • Highly replayable.
  • Intense and immersive!
