–A GameWick Games Press Release–
Pittsburgh 68, A Game of Shuffling Horror has stumbled onto the shelves of Forbidden Planet, one of NYC’s best and hottest comic shops. With its classic horror comic cover, Pittsburgh 68 is sure to catch the eye of fans who remember the early EC comics and even those hooked on The Walking Dead graphic novels. The box and card art is by Steve Blickenstaff, cover artist for the punk band The Cramps.
This card and dice game plays like a vintage zombie flick and is a homage to a time when slow moving zombies ruled. Inspired by the 1968 cult film, Night of the Living Dead, the game pits the players against an ever-growing zombie problem. The zombies are controlled by one player, who seeks to eliminate all the rest.
The game was designed by Larry Wickman and released by his indie game company, GameWick Games. It is the first in the Shuffling Horror line. Next up for this series is Roswell 51, a homage piece to 1950s space invasion flicks.
In the meantime, slow moving zombies rule!

Roswell. 1951. The aliens have returned with a vengeance! Can a group of survivors hold off a swarm of extraterrestrial horror and save the day? Will they make it to the end of the movie even?!? Only the cards and dice will tell!
In Pittsburgh 68 players were Clutched, Stumbled, Lurched and Surged by zombies. In Roswell 51, get ready to Swarmed, Spored, Probed and Blobbed by aliens!
Roswell 51 is next in our Shuffling Horror series. It is a mash-up of 1950s alien invasion movies where survivors have to do their thing: SURVIVE! As they fall, the players take on the role of Pod People, helping the Alien Master in his grand plan to take over the world. And the invasion begins in Roswell!
This is our third round of playtests and things are tightening up! We had initial playtests in the fall of 2013 at Metatopia. The next round hit at Origins Game Fair this year. And now, the third round will be played at Gen Con 2014. Each and every round of playtests with our friends and fans helps us to fine tune the game. Big thanks to everyone who is helping to shuffle the horror!
Stay tuned to this frequency for more updates on how it goes…
In the meantime, play Pittsburgh 68!
