If you're caught, you turn into a zombie and **join the hunt! 🧟** Watch the **Player Tutorial Video** to learn how to play!

At the end of the meetup we usually hang out until the owls are hooting **⚡ HOW DOES THE GAME WORK? ⚡** This game uses the free PlayCulture App ([playculture.com/app](https://www.playculture.com/app)). Players divide into **Survivors** and **Zombies**. Survivors try to evade the Zombies (using the danger compass to see where they are), and can pick up health packs to stay alive for longer. If a Zombie gets too close they can infect you! If you get infected you become a Zombie and join the hunt! At the end you will see a leaderboard showing everyone’s scores.

Saturday Night BIG Games!

Welcome to Saturday Night BIG Games with the Croydon Board Gamers. This is a trial event, which we may make more regular in the future if it's a success. Please note, like our other events, there is no fee payable to CBG to attend, but you will need to pay the Ludoquist £8 for a gaming session. The evening is a bit different to our usual sessions and is designed for longer, larger games planned in advance! We won't be organising games on the day, instead you'll need to arrange a game. If you haven't done this, there won't be space for you on the evening! You can do this by joining the chat on the event and advertising what game you want to play (if you are willing to teach) or speaking to others to agree a game. If there is an expectation that players will have read rules in advance, please note this. Best practice for complex games, is for all players to have read the rules and for there to be a quick recap teach before starting, however some players may offer a full teach. It's ok to agree a game on another forum (such as the CBG Discord https://discord.gg/9qBsMfMvP), but if you do please repost on the event chat what you are playing and who you are playing with. We have up to 6 hours to play (from 6pm to midnight), and you don't need to fill all this time with your game recommendation - but this is obviously a great opportunity to play big, complex games at the Ludo. Campaign games, GMT, 18XX, Twilight Imperium, John Company, Cthulu Wars or even a mini Euro-game tournament could be a good fit! This is a self-led session, and is still suitable for beginners. If you are newer to CBG or board games in general, you can reach out to the hosts in advance to talk about particulars.
