It all goes to pot in three months. Weirdness in remote Siberia moves into every major city. Zombie outbreaks. The X-Virus overtakes the planet. Goodbye Internet. Goodbye cellphones. Goodbye order and government. The good news...you are still alive! Bad news...the odds aren't in your favor. Survivors are getting rarer by the hour. The stronghold you are in is breached by these smelly unmentionables and now you are on the run. As "30 Seconds to Live" begins, you are trapped in an alley and it doesn't look good. The good news...you have weapons, abilities, and. The bad news...the zombie who wants to eat you is your buddy sitting across from you.
I played "30 Seconds to Live" with my son...he was the zombie...he won. The alley is long and the object is to get past a horde of these undead, kill if you must, and live to fight another day. Your buddy's goal...eat you! Through a skillful and thoughtful maneuvering of supplies, tactics, and weapon handling (most of this is from drawn cards), survival chances are increased. Oh yes...this maneuvering differs from each player, as whichever character you pick, has different sets of skills and weaknesses...which you must exploit. What happens next if fast-paced and in about 30 minutes, you will know if you live to fight another day.
The Survival, Attack, Weapons, Tactics, and Alley cards are brilliant and horrific in their artwork. The various characters are people who you may know in real life...no superheros. No time for idleness...you must attack and move...until you get away or are killed. "30 Seconds to Live" is artistically put together and designed to play at a rapid and intense pace. You are likely to lose your first game...but the improvement curve will be steep. This is the type of game horror fans will play three or four times in succession during one sitting.
