Zombies crawl from sewers, shuffling towards buildings and attempting to force their way inside. While you’re doing it, though, you’ll also have to contend with the rising threat of the ravenous dead.
On each playthrough you’ll attempt to form human chains to pass crates of supplies from the buildings on the corners of the board to your stronghold in the centre. Like other legacy games, Zombie Teenz plays out over the course of an ongoing campaign, with players unlocking new rules, features and components as they play. You and your friends will need to work together to venture into the zombie-plagued environment, retrieving supplies from buildings before the dead manage to force their way inside. Where Kidz’ action unfolded in the confines of a besieged school, Teenz widens its scope with a board showing a grid of city streets. Now its creator has returned with follow-up Zombie Teenz Evolution, and while there’s plenty here to appeal to fans of its predecessor, it also comes with a collection of new twists and challenges. But its bright, stylish cartoon art ensured it never got too scary for its target audience.
A curiously cheerful game about a group of plucky kids caught in an undead uprising, it saw players battle to secure their school against a horde of reanimated corpses. 2018’s Zombie Kidz Evolution was one of the first legacy games aimed squarely at young players.
