The Road is a post-apocalyptic survival card game set in the zombie-infested Australian outback.
It is a 3-5- player game which explores the social-dynamics of balancing group welfare against self-interest. You need to help each other in order to survive, but at the end of the day you must make ruthless decisions about who lives and dies.
As the name suggests, you are travelling down a road through the outback, attempting to reach the airfield which is your hope of escape. The game proceeds in a series of "days". Each day you choose the next location to explore, fight some zombies and scavenge for useful items. Each night you must decide who you can trust to stand guard while the others sleep.
As the days wear on, hunger and tiredness build, supplies run short, and you face a difficult decision: whether to remain loyal to the group, to run, or to turn on your fellow players (before they turn on you).
