The Walking Dead: Surrounded is an eighteen-card spatial puzzle for one to four players. Survivors and walkers spread around locations in a growing checkerboard, forcing the group to balance exploration with the risk of leaving valuable supplies exposed. When the final showdown begins, each location resolves the people and threats around it, turning careful placement into survival points and painful losses. Scenario goals change what the group must protect, giving the wallet-sized game a focused cooperative arc.
