Lake City, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2015 -- Deck of the Dead, a legendary zombie card game created by brothers Shane and Donivan Marshall, is set to release its Kickstarter campaign on March 31, 2015.

For fans of zombie-themed movies and games, the appeal of combating and outsmarting deadly zombies is undeniable. The premise of zombies in movies, costumes, television, games, and more generates a remarkable $5+ billion per year. Now, zombie fans have an unparalleled opportunity to both get their hands on a brand new zombie experience while helping grow the next big zombie brand. When Deck of the Dead launches its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in just a few days, supporters will be able to pledge donations of their choice to receive exclusive perks in return for their contributions. One such perk for these supporters will include first editions of Deck of the Dead.

The card game holds a dynamic premise backed by multiple layers of play. Up to 6 players can participate in each game, and Deck of the Dead offers 300 unique cards to ensure unique twists and turns at every avenue of the game. To start, each player draws a hand of 5 supply cards, which include defense items such as barricades and weapons. Each player sets up their tabletop fortress, with barriers in the front and two weapons behind the barricades. Each player holds instant supply cards and extra weapons cards in hand to be used when needed.

When an zombie event has been drawn, each player chooses a weapon, rolls the dice, and adds the numerical strength of their weapon with the dice. The goal, which is to exceed the numerical strength of the zombie card presented, must be met or a barricade or weapon is lost. If a player runs out of weapons and barricades and doesn't carry a vaccine card, then he or she becomes infected.

As players become infected, they automatically lose all supplies and draw 5 zombies from their "graveyards". Upon their turn, infected players must attack survivors. At the end of the game, the player with the most zombies in their graveyard is the winner.

The launch of Deck of the Dead's Kickstarter campaign will allow the Marshall brothers to get the game in the hands of zombie fans everywhere. More information about Deck of the Dead is available at www.deckofthedead.co.
