Summary
In this multiplayer Commander game, four players face off with their respective commanders while contending with a relentless zombie horde that progressively intensifies each turn cycle. The initial phase allows the players to establish their boards and prepare defenses, but the zombie horde begins to deploy creatures after the fourth turn, escalating the pressure as the game progresses. Players must carefully balance attacking each other and surviving the horde's relentless assaults. The zombies always target the player with the lowest life total, forcing strategic life total management and potential temporary alliances. Blocking zombies and utilizing creature synergies are key to survival, as players cannot attack the horde directly. As the horde grows stronger, tension mounts in the game with escalating zombie deployment rates, creating a thematic and challenging survival scenario.
