Updated! Geek Giveaway: Walking Dead Board Game

Update: Winner was drawn using the magic of Random.org and Devin a.k.a. Pure_Apathy emerged victorious! Congrats! Stay tuned for the next one geeks!

 

Better than sparkly, emo vampires, Zombies are shuffling through the media wasteland looking for tasty brains to snack on. AMC‘s hit series, The Walking Dead, has gained quite the following, spawning a caravan’s worth of merchandise. For those unable to cope with a week of waiting between episodes, The Walking Dead Board game was created. Rolling in a team of survivors, the name of the game is …well survive. Gather weapons, supplies and safe spots to rest from the hordes of undead. Eventually those run out and then you have to fend off your friends too.

If you’re careless, you can get bitten and turn into one of those bad breathed monstrosities. When that happens, you get to chase down your old comrades to scarf on their grey matter. As a zombie, players can surprise the snack-alicious humans or even wreck their supplies. Bite one and they become a new friend on Team Z. If you’re a solitary type person, the game has a single player mode – just like real life!

Here’s what’s in the box:

  • Cooperative game for fans of The Walking Dead
  • Recommended ages: 13 – adult
  • Number of Players: 1 – 4
  • Play Time: 30-45 minutes
  • Box contents:
    • 1 Game board

    For some reason I really like the fact that the game board is actually a mat and it isn’t made of cardboard like regular board games. Thanks for the second chance entry! rawisjericho1004@gmail.com

    Comic, TV show… I guess it was only a matter of time before they came out with a boardgame. I’m sure it’s worth a drunken night of solid Zombie action.

    Thanks for the contest! I love board games and the Walking Dead so this would be perfect. I’d had my eye on the other Walking Dead game, but I never read the graphic novel so I decided to skip it. I didn’t even know the game based on the TV show was out yet!
