Off the Dead Chapter 1: Death in Venice Beach

A deadly virus has spread across the world, only leaving behind decomposing corpses, animated by an irrepressible desire for fresh meat. Everywhere, members of the population spared by the epidemic group together to fight against the plague and increase their thin chances of survival against the hordes of undead.

With Off the Dead, play as one of these survivors facing the zombie invasion. Search rubble, organize your defense, eliminate zombies and abobe all, do not leave your companions behind, because once infected they may well join the ranks of the enemy.

In a world inspired the greatest genre films, Off the Dead mixes shivers, cooperation and individual strategy, altogether in a deliciously crazy atmosphere.

Box Contents: 87 cards including: 5 survivors, 36 rubble, 36 zombies, 5 zombified survivors, 4 infection tokens, 5 game aids, 1 die, 1 rulebook.
