Zombie Run!

A memory-driven hand-comparison card game where players swap hidden cards to finish rounds with the fewest zombies chasing them. Seeing only part of a hand makes each exchange uncertain, while any player can force a showdown.

From the manufacturer: "Zombies have taken over the town and they're EVERYWHERE! Can you be the first to escape the town and get to safety? The player with the lowest number of zombies chasing them after five rounds wins and successfully escapes the town. Zombie Run combines memory with luck and is the ultimate card game for kids with braaaaaaaaaaaaains!" Zombie Run! is a hand-comparison game with elements of memory (since you're only allowed to look at two cards from your hand per turn). After rounds of swapping a card drawn from the stock or waste with a card from the hand, any player may call for a showdown. All hands are compared and lowest takes the round.
