How to play the zombie survival draft

Zombie survival is the most argued-over theme in the game, because the vote has a story built in: who is still alive after a month? Each player buys five picks and then defends their plan.

Balance beats firepower. A chainsaw is fun, but a set with a hideout, a way out, food and someone who knows what they are doing usually wins the room. The rule-breakers, such as a cure or zombies that cannot swim, are the most expensive picks for a reason.

The last ten options are liabilities: a friend who screams, a generator that is very loud, your ex as your only teammate. Whoever still has money at the end hands them out.

The full rules, including what happens when a player runs out of money, are in how to play the 20 dollar draft.

Zombie Survival: bidding tips

Cover the basics first

Shelter, escape, food and a skill. A set missing one of them is easy to argue to death in the vote.

Rule-breakers are worth half a budget

A cure or immunity to bites rewrites the scenario. If one comes up early, decide fast whether you can let it go.

Make them pay for the liabilities

Bid $1 on a liability only to push the price up when you know your rival has to dodge it.

FAQ

What is the best pick in a zombie survival draft?

The rule-breakers, a cure, immunity to bites or zombies that ignore your smell, usually go for the most money. Among normal picks, a fortified hideout plus a doctor is hard to beat.

How do you decide who survives?

Tell the story together: each player explains how their five picks get them through the first night, the first week and the first winter, then everyone else votes.
