Description
ZtoZ is a survival party game about the infectiousness of laughter and acting silly. Players need to impersonate zombies while reading a card and making eye contact with another person at the table. Additionally, players are not allowed to laugh, smile, etc. because zombies have no sense of humor. Players that fail to keep a straight face or fail a passable zombie impersonation are eliminated but not completely out of the game. Eliminated players become part of the zombie horde making zombie noises around the table for the remainder of the game but also facing off again with the remaining players to help the game along.
History
ZtoZ was thought up and created in 15 minutes after seeing the volumes of zombie and proffer games on Kickstarter a couple of years ago. The rules have gone through a few iterations to make them work with as many groups as possible.
Features
- Quick game play
- Keeps eliminated players involved in the game
