Cards of the Dead

About

Survival strategy meets deck-building in a zombie-infested world. As Rick, Selena, or Dan, navigate collapsing cities and overrun labs by playing cards to manage resources, combat hordes, and secure a vaccine. Decisions impact character fates and story outcomes, with encounters forcing deck and tactic adaptations. Turn-based combat demands planning, balancing defense, attack, and movement against escalating threats. The game’s strength lies in narrative-strategy integration, with each character’s arc shaping survival approaches. Manage limited card slots and upgrades to build specialized playstyles. Available on multiple platforms, it offers 15-20 hours of gameplay. Community feedback praises difficulty progression and branching choices, though some feel the story takes a backseat to mechanical challenges.
