It's bodge or get bitten in Zombies Keep Out when a giant mob of zombies attacks the goblins' workshop. Now it's up to you and the other bodgers to repel the undead or become a zombie's late-night snack! Barricaded in your workshop, you and your goblin cohorts must rely on your mechanical expertise to construct the sometimes ramshackle but always maniacal machines you'll need to overcome the endless Leapers, Creepers, Runners, and Brutes trying to break down your doors. Collect parts to build your machines as fast as you can, but don't get bitten — or else you'll be left moaning and groaning as you join the horde and turn on your friends! Zombies Keep Out is a fully cooperative board game for 1–6 players.
