You have been alerted to a zombie outbreak and must stop the zombie hoard. Among the zombies are some well known undead beings that are definitely the hardest to kill. You will see how much glory and notoriety you can gain as you defeat the hoard or if you are overrun by them.
This is a completely different game than the original Famous Zombies also published by Joe Magic Games.
Each player chooses a main action that aligns with a bonus action grid on the main board. The two main actions are to kill a zombie or zombies or to scout for resources. Additional actions may then be purchased by spending supplies. As actions are chosen, zombies and resources are placed on the main board on the map section. These resources are used to gain special advantage cards, in improve a player's actions (as tracked on the player's individual board) or to gain points as tracked on the main board. Players gain the ability to use stronger weapons, better methods of travel, and other play advantages like change turn order.
When famous zombies are killed, like zombie Bigfoot, or zombie Robin Hood the player gains bonus points, but the famous zombies are harder to kill in their native terrain than ordinary, every-day zombies.
