There’s crisis on the streets of Brighton – the dead won’t stay dead! What started as rumours and concerned whispers about the potential effect on property prices is now a full blown state of emergency. The military is losing its grip and not one of these diseased shamblers remembers it was once vegan.
Fortunately, there’s one seat left on the last train out of town. But whose name is on it?
From the burning skyline of the South Downs to the blood splattered pebbles of Brighton Beach, you must prove your worth for this lifeline to safety. Brighton needs you, so what are you waiting for?
Fancy testing your survival instinct and winning an edition of the board game for yourself? We’ve a copy of ZomBN1 plus an exclusive ZomBN1 t-shirt and scenario book for whomever has the best answer to this question:
What would be the best thing about being a zombie in Brighton?
