Watch “Area Z - End of Days - Solo Scenario,” a how-to-play guide for Area Z from fearanarchy on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by fearanarchy on YouTube:

-End of Days- (Solo Scenario) SETUP: *Set the map up in a 2 vertical/1 horizontal layout similar to Diargram 1 in the instructions *Use all 18 Survivor tokens and place them with the original rules restrictions *Shuffle the Action cards and lay out a row of 6. *Conduct a Zombie Phase immediately *Do this Zombie phase 3 times so that all 12 tokens have been placed; called Zombie Wave SPECIAL COLOR POWERS: Only the BLUE Survivors can use the Airdrop (parachute) Only the RED Survivors can use the Snipe (target with a number) Only the Green Survivors can use the Convert (2 bodies) ability. But it also works on Zombies RULES: The game will be played in the Survivor turn, then Zombie turn fashion. The exceptions being that the Player controls all the Survivors. A single Action card must only be used with tokens of a given faction color (no splitting abilities from 1 card). There are additional restrictions and goals set below in DIFFICULTY. *Slain Survivors and Zombies go back to a Supply Pool for later deployment unless noted below DIFFICULTY --There is Hope (Easy)-- *Humans DO go back to the Supply *Cohabitation Points exist: 1pt for each group of 3 survivors of all factions in the same area. *Scoring: Try to survive the 3 Turns and get a COMBINED score of 25pts+ --Zombie Nation (Standard)-- *Zombies Control an Area if they are either: Only token there, or have a majority *Zombies score 1 point for each Survivor killed after the Setup Wave *Survivors and Zombies will all score SEPARATELY. Record all 4 scores for each round. *Final Scoring needs each Survivor Faction to have a score of 5+. And at least 1 of the Factions need to score better than the Zombies --Walking Dead (Hopeless)-- **Extra Zombie tokens are needed** *All Survivors killed after the Zombie Wave in setup are removed from game *Each Survivor killed after Setup will add a Zombie token to the Supply. This is just to keep the Zombie phase loaded, it does not increase the number deployed during Zombie Phase *All Survivor points are COMBINED . But only 1 Faction can score an area, ties are worth 0 (like original rules) *No Cohabitation points *Try to score above 30pts. True Victory will have at least 1 Survivor from each Faction alive at the end.

About Area Z, from BoardGameGeek:

You drop into the red zone. You're immediately surrounded by enemies. Are they human or something else? It doesn't matter. You've brought along enough firepower to secure this area... once and for all. Take control of a faction of humans battling in an apocalyptic landscape - one overrun with zombies. Can you fend off your opponent's forces while avoiding the roaming hordes of undead? You better hope so, or you'll be just another casualty of Area Z. If you can't get enough of area control games with clever action selection, you won't want to miss this little gem. Playing 2-3 players, you're not only vying for control of areas of the map against your foes, but you are also fending off masses of zombies who will pick you off if left unchecked. Each card has two sides, and every card will be used twice per round (one on each side) before moving to the zombie phase - and the order in which the cards get used will determine how the zombies react and interact on the map. -description from the publisher This 9-card game published by Button Shy pits you and one or two other players in an area control game against each other... and zombies. Lay out the three map cards in any formation, choose one of the three colors and begin play! Play consists of three rounds with each including a Survivor Phase, Zombie Phase, and Scoring Phase. Players select an action card for their team, then the zombies act according to the back side of the selected cards, and then area control points are divvied. Players also gain points for killing zombies. Released in the April 2019 Board Game of the Month Club $10+ package.
