Selfish Zombie Edition: How to Play and Win

Quick answer

In Selfish Zombie Edition, you race across a zombie-infested wasteland, managing supplies and avoiding bites. The last human alive wins.

How to play Selfish Zombie Edition

1. Set up the game: Shuffle the deck and deal each player a starting hand of cards. Place the supply tokens and bite tokens in the center. Each player starts as a human. Common mistake: Forgetting to separate bite tokens from supply tokens. Keep them in distinct piles.
2. Take your turn: On your turn, play one card from your hand. Cards let you attack other players, defend, gather supplies, or move. Follow the card's instructions. Then draw back up to your hand limit. Checkpoint: Discard down to your hand limit if you have too many cards. Overdrawing is a common error.
3. Manage supplies and bites: You need supplies to survive. If you run out, you take a bite token. If you get bitten (by a card or by running out of supplies), you become a zombie. Zombies have a different goal: bite the remaining humans. Common mistake: Hoarding supplies too long. Sometimes spending supplies to avoid a bite is smarter than saving them.
4. Win as a human: The last human standing wins. You can win by eliminating all other humans (turning them into zombies) or by being the only human when the deck runs out. Checkpoint: Don't forget that zombies can still win. If you become a zombie, your goal changes to biting all humans.
