Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
It’s that time of year again! Time to dust off all the spooky games you have lying around the house, or maybe even time to buy some new ones! Here’s a roundup of some great games featuring zombies to help get in the mood of the season.
A Touch of Evil – A cooperative game where each player takes the role of a monster hunter trying to uncover a supernatural evil in town.
Zombie in my Pocket – A solo, print-and-play game where you’re navigating a house full of zombies trying to find and bury an ancient relic. There’s also a multiplayer version produced by Cambridge Games Factory.
Zombiegeddon – A strategic, perfect information zombie game by Reiner Knizia. Gather supplies then hold your ground.
All Things Zombie, The Boardgame – A board game based off the award winning 2006 miniatures title of the same name.
Age of Steam: The Zombie Apocalypse – Trains and zombies? This is a no brainer (pun totally intended.)
That’s a lot of zombies right there, folks. This list couldn’t be complete with out CARCASSassonne, a fan made, zombie themed Carcassonne.

I cannot believe you forgot to mention Last Night On Earth, the most popular and best-selling GenCon award winning zombie boardgame for the last 3 years. Sheesh! Last Night On Earth is made by the same company that made the game “A Touch of Evil” that you mentioned. But you probably did not realize that LNOE was their original boardgame that made that company famous, earned them a legion of fans, and therefore they reaped tons of profits from LNOE so that they could then follow up with other games such as A Touch of Evil.
You, sir, are no zombie expert.

Heh. Trust me, I did not forget. I was trying to highlight newer games (even A Touch of Evil is older compared to the others on the list!)
I’m pretty sure Last Night on Earth got its fair share of the spotlight in previous Halloween posts. It’s similar to the same reason I didn’t include any of the Zombies! games on the list.
What about Yehuda’s new game, “It’s Alive!” from Reiver Games? I don’t know if it’s strictly zombie, but it might work as a Halloween game and it can’t hurt to plug a fellow Purple Pawn.
It’s a Frankenstein game, not a zombie game. Thanks for thinking of me, though.
How about Zombie Cinema? Clever story telling zombie game.
