You move across a game play area covered in hidden threats that want to eat you (cards) and you have to fight them with a limited and diminishing dice pool.
You move and challenge a card to progress from the camp to the road. When you challenge the card in front of you is revealed. You have to then battle that card to move forward. You have to decide how many of your attack dice to use. You also have to decide what (if any) item cards in your stash you want to use to help you. You can only use each dice once per turn so be careful. If you lose you get hurt and may drop stuff as you feel back towards the camp.
Be the first to escape the Nightmare Forest at a Dead Run and be victorious.
Fail…and become one with the flesh eating horde of zombie animals.
