Button Shy Games has announced a partnership with Skybound Tabletop to introduce The Walking Dead: Surrounded, a new card game themed around the comic book series for one to four players.
During each game, players are given a scenario and must work toward fulfilling those conditions while fighting to stay alive, because they’re being hunted by a massive horde of Walkers! They’re everywhere, and it’s up to you to find someplace safe. Each player will draw one card every turn — one side contains a location, which will be added to the game map, The other side introduces new faces; but whether they’re friendly or happen to be more Walkers is up to chance.
The human members are called Occupants and drawing their cards helps fortify your defenses. Place them around the Walker cards to keep the Walkers from advancing. Once the scenario’s goals are fulfilled, the game is over.
“As the home of The Walking Dead, Skybound is always looking for unique ways to expand the property with exciting new modes of entertainment,” says Garima Sharma, VP of Licensing & Partnerships at Skybound. “Button Shy Games’ new card game packs a big punch in a small package and we can’t wait for players to experience the world of The Walking Dead in Surrounded.”
Though The Walking Dead: Surrounded has just been released, there’s already a 6-card expansion subtitled Under Siege that adds new mercenary Occupants, Locations, scenarios and scoring conditions. Both are available now for $12 and $4 respectively.
