This information may need trimmed to be put on the card. I figured that since on a business card, you're trying to get your name out there, a social game would be a better fit. And what's more social than players eating each other? Nothing!
On the back of the card: A small indicator of zombie or survivor.
If you were just handed this card you are now either a zombie or a survivor. Unfortunately, this isn't a normal zombie outbreak. Zombies look and act like normal people outside of their terrible hunter for your flesh.
Tell no one which of the two you are. As a zombie, your goal is to infect the remaining players. However, you cannot tell who is a zombie or not. If you eat a zombie, you kill one of your own. If a hunter kills a human, they're destroying the human race. Kill or eat a player by tapping their copy of the business card. You must have your card out while playing this game. You'll find out if they're a zombie or a human after you kill them. Mark your human and zombie kills down on the card.
Social interaction between all players, not mindlessly tapping cards, is encouraged.
I found this game to be interesting. While our small group didn't exactly play it well, I can see how it would be entertaining and effective with a large group of people. Maybe even a mixed group where some people have the buisness cards and are players, and some do not have the cards and don't even know the game is going on.
ReplyDeleteKarl,
ReplyDeleteFun concept! How are you indicating to your players a game is in progress? I imagine a more finished version might have a picture of a zombie or a survivor on the back along with a short list of rules. With short but concise rules, you can have emergent play, which can be fun for networking!

This game was interesting, I don't think any of us really understood the rules like we should have! There was also a lot of joking around when we were playing, so we didn't get much done at all.
