Game Type and Players

City of the Living is a tableau-building action-selection board game for 2 to 4 players. Designed by Reiner Knizia and Sebastian Bleasdale, it tasks each player with managing a fortified territory during a zombie outbreak. The game blends resource scavenging with strategic city development. Victory goes to the leader who best protects and expands their community.

Components and Table Footprint

The box contains a scavenging board, 60 improvement tiles, four player mats, 20 indicator cubes, and 64 zombie meeples. Fuel tokens and tracking tokens handle resource and threat management during play. All components fit on a standard table without requiring an oversized surface. Setup is driven by the included rule book and tile layout.

Ideal Group and Limits

This title suits groups who enjoy medium-weight strategy with a strong thematic narrative. The fixed player count of 2 to 4 means it does not accommodate solo play or larger parties. Buyers seeking a quick filler or a game supporting five or more participants should look elsewhere. The zombie theme may also deter players who prefer non-horror settings.
