The zombie apocalypse has finally occurred. Having always anticipated this inevitable outcome, you have already fortified a camp from where to defend yourself. Now you must make the difficult decision of letting other survivors you encounter join your camp or force them to fend for themselves.

Gameplay:

Players collect other survivors that have various effects on their camp. Every round players choose an action to perform and respond to a random event card.

How to win:

The game lasts 12 rounds. At the end of the 12th round, you gain one point for each living survivor in your camp but lose a point for each survivor who died.

Materials:

“Leader” Survivor Card for each player
Tracker cards that keep count of “Strength”, “Food”, and “Morale” for each player.
•Strength both enables you to fend off zombie attacks and to raid other players' camps. Strength is constantly built upon and rarely reduced.
•Food prevents your survivors from starving. Many new survivors you admit will bring food in with them, but your food will deplete every time you feed your survivors or are raided.
•Morale is the will to live of your survivors. Certain survivors bring in morale but certain actions can reduce it (survivors dying/ failing events).
Deck of Survivor Cards - Survivors benefit the above stats and also have various other effects (i.e. “a player may perform the same action twice during the action phase” or a “beloved cripple” that has low stats, but counts as two points at the end of the game.
Deck of Event Cards

Game Setup:

Each player starts with a "Leader" card faceup in front of them. Additional survivors acquired through the game will be placed besides their leader.

Round Order:

Actions – Player chooses from preset list. Examples: Increase a stat by 1, take an additional survivor, or raid an opposing player’s camp. Certain survivor cards can alter how many/ which actions you can perform.

Take in Survivors - The Survivor Deck will be much like the train car deck in Ticket to Ride. Where players can choose to draw from a faceup board of cards or randomly draw from the deck.

Event Cards – Two types of events players will deal with every turn. All players must respond to the same major event that will test one of the three statistics of the camp (strength, food, or morale). Then players draw from the random event deck and can choose to either play their card on themselves or an opponent. Each player can only have one random event played on them a round, so turn order will play a role in determining which players are available to play an event on. Most random events are pro/con (i.e. lose 3 strength, gain 3 morale).

End of Round - First player is passed to the player sitting clockwise of the current first player. Current board of survivors is shuffled back into deck, and new board is drawn. All random event cards are reshuffled.

Trade your stuff, sell your stuff and buy more stuff, but the question is: do you have the right stuff, for Stuff?

Stuff is a card game for 3-6 players. The game consists of 144 general stuff cards and 36 auction cards. To start, deal 24 general cards to each player (12 cards are your hand and 12 are a draw pile). Place 2 auction cards face-up in the play area and make a draw pile of 10 more auction cards. The remaining auction cards are not used. Lastly, make a blind auction pile of 5 general cards face-down beside the face-up auction cards.

Each card represents something worth collecting. Each card has two or three values. The lowest value is its pawn value. This value is used for paying for bids and restorations (described below). The second value is its collectible value. This value is used at the end of the game to determine the value of your stuff. The third value (on most, but not all cards) is its restored value. This value is used at game end instead of the collectible value, if the card has been restored. Each card is marked as a certain type of stuff (art, memorabilia, antique, etc.) each type of stuff has a “set bonus” which assigns greater value to having three or more of the same type of stuff. For example, memorabilia has a “set bonus” of 1, so if you have three or more memorabilia cards you would add 1 for each of those cards (this applies to payments and/or final value).

Each turn choose one of four options:

Grab more of your stuff - add three cards to your hand from your draw pile.

Trade - any kind of trade is fine as long as the players agree. The value of the cards do not have to match. All trades must involve the active player, but trades may involve more than two players if desired. You can make multiple trades. If you don’t make any trades, you do not get to choose a different option.

Initiate an auction - pick one of the 2 face-up auction cards or the blind auction pile and make a bid. All players then freely bid against each other until someone wins. The winner pays with cards from their hand and adds the auction card or blind auction pile to their hand. Note: the auction cards are of significantly higher value than the general cards. A blind auction pile is replaced using the leftover cards from the general deck (restocked with discarded cards if needed). An auction card is replaced from the auction draw pile. If this pile has been depleted, the game ends.

Pay to restore an item - pay the restoration cost shown and place the card face-up in front of you. Each player may restore a maximum of three cards.

At the end of the game, add up the value of your stuff and determine a winner.

This is a deduction game for 1-6 players with 40 cards (numbered 1-8 in five colors), 6 card racks and 3 identical D6 (featuring a spot for each color and an action icon).

The cards are split into their color sets, shuffled, and each player is dealt one card from each set. Without looking at the faces of their cards the players slot them into their card racks so the numbers on the front of the cards are visible to the other players.

On their turn the player rolls the dice. A maximum of 2 additional re-rolls are permitted. They can re-roll all their dice or some of them. Dice kept from a previous roll can be rolled again if the player elects to do so.

If a player rolls two results of the same color they must discard one of the dice.

If discarding results in a player having only one dice available their turn immediately ends and they forfeit the opportunity to guess a card.

When a player rolls the action icon they can discard the dice, take back a discarded dice or turn the action dice to any color.

If a player rolls a valid sequence of two or three different colors they can request information about their cards from the other players. The other players respond by telling them the total value of their cards that match the colors of their dice results.

Example

The cards in front of a player are Red 5, Yellow 1, Orange 4, Green 6 and Purple 4

The player rolls red, yellow and green so the other players tell them their total is 12.

The player uses this information, in conjunction with information gained from subsequent rolls, to deduce what cards they have in front of them.

Example

Roll 1 – Red + Yellow + Green = 12
Roll 2 – Red + Yellow + Orange = 10

The player knows that their green card must have a value that is 2 higher than their orange card. So their orange card can’t be a 7 or 8, because that would give green a value in excess of 8. They also know that their green card can’t be a 1 or 2.

Roll 3 – Green + Yellow + Orange = 11

The player knows their green card is 1 higher than their red card. So their red card can’t be an 8 and their green card can’t be a 1.

Information is also gained by eliminating the visible cards of the other players, because no card is replicated twice.

A player can choose to guess one of their cards on any turn. If they guess correctly they remove the identified card from their rack and score 3 points. A wrong guess looses them 1 point.

When any player identifies their set of cards the round ends. The other players loose 2 points for every unidentified card they have. A new round begins and the first player to score X points is the winner.
