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!
