This Game Is KILLER is a hilariously deadly party game about being hunted by an alien life form aboard a cramped cargo vessel in deep space. The object is simple: Survive at any cost — and remove the alien threat before it kills you all.
In a round, you will be dealt two cards. Each can be played as either your position on the ship (i.e., where you are) or an action (what you do). On a turn, you play one card, then after everyone has finished, play reverses and comes back around, with you playing the second card for whatever you didn't choose the first time. Thus, you always have one position and one action.
Then the alien's location is revealed. If you share that location and you have the highest priority number, you're dead. If a crew member's action kills you, you're dead. In fact, death comes pretty quickly in this game — then ten minutes later, you are all jumping back in to play again. With a bit of skill and luck, however, you may be able to isolate the alien at one of the locations that let you jettison it into space, along with any fellow crew members who happen to be there.
This isn't a deduction game; it's horror survival...if horror survival were funny.

ApocalypZe is a game for 2 or more players. The game is all about surviving during the zombie apocalypse. Your deck of cards represents your supplies and resources during these trying times. During the game you will consume these resources and do your best to replenish them while trying to force your opponent to waste through his own. Once you run out of supplies, you no longer have the capacity to survive and are out of the game.
During each turn you play cards to one location on the table. This may be your stronghold or your opponent's. It may also be another type of location such as a scavenging location. You must choose your location carefully each turn. If you choose to act against an opponent, you will not be able to sure up your defenses.
Throughout the course of the game you be able to defend your stronghold and scavenge for resources with survivors, and attack your opponent's stronghold and scavenging locations with zombies and other raiders. A number of types of cards that both enhance your characters and affect the game in various ways can be played throughout the course of your turn.
As the game progresses, you will be forced to consume resources (cards). As your deck dwindles, you will have to make some hard choices to insure that you will outlast your opponent and survive the ApocalypZe.
