Fight Zombies | Save Survivors | improve your maths!
Aliens are invading and turning everyone in the City into Zombies! You’ll need to use your BRAINS to survive and keep the Zombies off the barricade until the Rescue Plane lands!
Aim of the game
Defend the Barricade from the advancing Zombies, working as a team to survive.
Everyone wins if they can protect the Barricade until the Rescue Plane lands.
Everyone loses if 6 Zombies reach the Barricade.
This is the best maths game I’ve ever seen

Great for developing mental maths skills.
My child’s ability to do times tables and division has improved massively and only after playing half a dozen times.

A brilliant game! Our 7 year old was so excited by the zombies he didn’t notice we were actually doing maths.
Working as a team means his attention was kept even if he was slower to see the trickier dice options at times. The different levels mean there’s huge scope for it to grow with his confidence too. We adults enjoyed it just as much!

Fighting Zombies
Every Zombie has a number in the bottom right corner that shows how strong it is. Players take turns to roll 3 combat dice and use them to defeat Zombies. Dice can be used on their own or combined to reach a Zombie’s strength
Alien Bosses
If an Alien Boss reaches the Barricade you’ll permanently lose Survivors from the game. However, if you defeat an Alien Boss you’ll be rewarded. Some higher level Aliens are really strong, and some even have force fields that protect them!
Unexpected Events
There are a number of events that happen at random as you play. Some Events help you, like Second Chance and Sudden Decay, but others help the Zombies, like Surprise Attack and Sudden Rush!
Nom Nom Nom
You begin with a random number of Survivors and try to save more as you play. Survivors are worth points at the end of the game, but watch out, a Zombie that reaches the Barricade will eat Survivors!
Hero Time
Heroes will lend you a hand and help you fight Zombies. Each Hero has a special move you can use at any time during the game to get you out of sticky situation.
Game Over
Defend the Barricade from the advancing Zombie horde until the Rescue Plane lands and you win! But beware! If 6 Zombies reach the Barricade it’s game over!
Learn to play, play to learn
City of Zombies is played over a number of rounds.
Each round is made up of the following steps:
1. Zombies Spawn
2. Players Fight Zombies
3. Remaining Zombies advance
4. Move Rescue Plane
The game ends either when the Plane lands and everyone wins, or 6 Zombies reach the Barricade and everyone loses.
How to Fight Zombies
Each player takes it in turn to fight Zombies by rolling the three battle dice.
You can defeat a Zombie using 1, 2 or all 3 dice.
Dice can be combined in the following ways:
Add
Players can add two or even all three dice together.
Subtract
Players can subtract dice from each other.
Multiply or Divide
Dice can be multiplied or divided together.
Dice Combos
Build combos with 2 or 3 dice using difference maths operations.
Targeting Wheel
A handy hint that shows number combos to reach that Zombie’s strength
Take it to the next level
Dice can be Powered up and down, a useful skill to master. Powering up dice allows you to target and remove more Zombies on your turn.
4 x 4 = 16
(2 + 3 = 5) 5 x 5 = 25
6 x 6 = 36
√4 = 2
So you can see a roll of 4 is really useful…
It can be used as a 4, powered up to 16, or powered down to a 2!

Fosters teamwork rather than competition
In City of Zombies players work together to win or everyone loses!
Players are encouraged to help, support and learn from each other.
Rewards players as their skills improve
As players pick up new skills, either through practice or watching and learning from other players, the game rewards them by allowing them to defeat more Zombies. For example learning to Power up your dice (known as squaring) allows players a choice of defeating a strength 3 or a strength 9 Zombie if they a roll a 3.
Perfect for math lovers and haters!
I originally came up with the idea for City of Zombies to help my daughter who was maths adverse.
I wanted to create a fun way to help her (and others like her) practice and improve math skills without her realising it.
In total it took me 7 years to take City of Zombies from the initial idea to a finished game. During that time I spent many months playtesting and refining gameplay with children, parents, teachers and gamers to make City of Zombies the most enjoyable and fun maths game and teaching resource I possibly could.
Designed with the help of Teachers
We worked with parents, teachers, educators and gamers to ensure that City of Zombie is not only a brilliant family board game, but a powerful maths resource that makes maths fun for everyone.
Play at home to help improve maths.
Play at school to get the whole class engaged and excited about maths.
It only takes moments to setup ready to play.
No need to read the rules, our GameFlow Guide teaches as you play.
4 levels to challenge players as their maths skill improve
Maths has never been so much fun!
Keeps even the most reluctant mathematicians engaged and involved
