From the publisher's website: The dead have risen and are hungry for you! So, what will you do...When Zombies Attack!? When Zombies Attack! is a fast-paced, action packed dice game where you and your friends attempt to reach safety while evading a ravenous zombie mob! When Zombies Attack! is a complete game which contains 16 custom made dice, dice bag, and rulebook all included in a clear clam shell package, everything you need for hours of fun! When Zombies Attack! is a dice game where players attempt to escape a zombie mob. Each die represents a zombie so you can play with as many as you like. Also, there is no limit to how many players can play. You can even play it as a solitaire game. We do recommend at least four dice per player. During a player's turn, the dice are rolled, the zombies chasing them, and depending on the result, the zombies are either killed, continue to pursue, or are passed to other players or into the Quarantine Zone. The first player to start their turn with no dice to roll escapes and is declared the winner. A four player game typically lasts 5 to 10 minutes.
