Tabletop Spotlight: Axis & Allies & Zombies

What happens when the Treaty of Versailles sends Germany into a depression leading to the rise of Fascism in the region, causing all out war across Europe, but also there is zombies? Let’s find out!

Axis & Allies & Zombies is a spin on the classic game, Axis & Allies. Players take the role of Axis or Allied forces during an alternate history WWII. But in this alternate history, zombies have broken out during the height of the war.

In this version, neutral countries begin the game as untouchable territories. However, throughout the game zombie infection will appear in those regions, making them not only available to be attacked, but a necessity. As the zombie infection increases, they will begin to spread and take over different territories.

By guiding the zombies in the right direction, you can use them to your advantage. But, be careful. While the zombies may be useful in some cases, if the infestation ever reaches critical levels, the game will end.
