Summary: The US Midwest map became a battlefield of survival in this Zombie Apocalypse match. With Fog of War, progressive cards, and no alliances, the game was a test of positioning, timing, and avoiding the undead.
I started strong but overextended early, leaving myself vulnerable. A key mistake was taking bonuses at all, as it made me an easy target and allowed other players to eliminate me more easily. Spreading out and avoiding bonuses could have made eliminations more difficult and improved my chances of survival. Despite stabilizing mid-game, I was eliminated before I could redeem my cards for a comeback. The zombies didn’t eliminate players directly but took a lot of territories, making survival and positioning even more challenging. The endgame was a slow cleanup as the final player struggled to finish off the undead.
