Zombie Hour Tabletop Board Game

by

Zombie Hour is a tabletop game of zombie survival horror. The authors write:

What separates us from the zombies?

Something stronger than a heavy steel door.

It is what’s in our hearts that elevates us above them.

But when our hearts race, chests tighten, and breaths come hard, our humanity becomes a liability. Exhaustion and the ravages of time wear us down, while leaving them untouched, narrowing the gap between us and them. Ultimately we will fall within their grasp, be pulled down, and join them.

Zombie Hour is a print and play tabletop action-adventure game of survival. It is a real time tactical miniatures game with a resource allocation element–that resource is your life’s breath.

Having vitality and being able to choose how to use it is what sets you apart from the zombies. But living is both an advantage and a weakness. Conserve, expend, and recover your energy as you race against the clock, struggle against the rising tide of undead, and search for supplies to keep humanity going.

Victorian Villains Card Game

WarpSpawn has created a card game called Victorian Villains, which features such period luminaries as Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James West, Professor Moriarty, Count Dracula, Rasputin and Jack The Ripper. Its obviously not a miniatures game, but fans of the genre might find it interesting.

Update: To clear up any confusion, there are no pdf files fo the actual cards. Like all of Lloyd’s marvelous games, there is simply a list of cards. You have to make your own set out of playing cards, or old ccg cards. I put stickey labels on playing cards and use them.
