Great fun!
I've seen the Hit Z Road review on the Dice Tower the other day and decided to give it a go. The game itself is pretty easy to learn - there's not many moving parts, and the rules are very comprehensible. The theme is fun - you try to get to LA and not die along the way while running away from zombies.Each player is responsible for a group of survivors, and depending on the route they take, they have to face small or big risks, and sometimes also an entire horde of zombies. Fighting mechanic is simple, as it literally involves rolling multiple dice and nothing else. I personally like that, as it makes the encounters quick and interesting.The components are a-ma-zing. If you like the style of Fallout games, you'll be in love with the direction the designer took here - bottle caps, stained playing cards and car keys are amongst the elements you use (all made from a nice, thick cardboard). The route cards are breathtaking and mimic pictures taken with a camera; covered with little scribbles here and there, they are one of the most enjoyable cards I held in my hands in a long while.The game accommodates up to 4 players and while being competitive, it makes you cheer whenever any of the survivors defeat the zombies - whether they belong to you or other players. It's significantly more difficult to play with 4 people, as you are forced to take certain routes - but you can easily play with 2 people if you want to, and it's a good learning experience then; I played with my boyfriend to test it out first, and we both managed to save at least some of our survivors, whereas with 4 people zombies genuinely mopped the floor with us.Overall, the game is gorgeous, easy to play and simple to understand; if you are looking something a bit challenging with a fair amount of eye-candy (well, zombie eye-candy :P), then Hit Z Road is for you. Highly recommended!

Great price for fun game.
Fun game with great artwork. Started off quite easy when 2 people played but got very hard on level 3, neither survived to the end In this apocalypse. Probably better with 3+ players so someone is forced to take the harder route more frequently.

Excellent board game
It would be reasonable to describe me as a novice to gaming, but I found this game very easy to learn, easy to teach new people and fun for the family. I've played this game with kids under 10 and whilst the theme might be a little scary, the game is fun and challenging. After 5 play thoroughs, multiple people have triumphed which shows me that it isn't all skill, but also an element of luck which I think keeps things interesting.

Excellent quick game
We took a punt on this as it was a good price and we are so glad we did!Really easy to learn, quick to set up and play but challenging and great fun!The zombie element isn't very scary so fine if you're not into horror.The components are really nice, especially considering the price, and it plays well with varied numbers of people.

Very good game for beginners
I bought this games because I wanted to start playing solo board games. I'm not an expert, but I did some research on solo games and lots of them looked very complicated to understand. I wanted something easy to learn and play. I'm glad I found this games, the rules are clear, it doesn't take you too long to set up and it's fun to play. The components of the game are very well made and the cards are beautiful and funny.

Fun game, but terrible climax!
For the price (approx. £10), this is a fantastic card/dice/resource management game that is fun even in solo mode. It has a quick setup/takedown time, easy-to-understand rules and a bunch of zombie killing (with meeples too!).I'd say the only downside is the climax for such a thematic game is rather underwhelming - there's no real "final boss" or dedicated endgame cards, just when it ends, it ends. There are of course variants to combat this, but I was a little disappointed there was no official mechanic.Still highly recommend!

Good fun easy game to play
Our family really enjoyed this game. Once understood what cards represent it's a very easy game to play. Quality of game is made from strong card with wooden counters. It took about 60 minutes to play. Definatley recommend a must buy and such a very reasonable price.

A really fun game that can be played single player.
This is currently one of my favourite games.The box is designed with a 1950's board game theme and has hand drawn elements added. The whole design is intentionally representative of a hand made/bespoke game. Some of the components within the box are borrowed from other games, such as Dixit, Ticket to ride, Splendor and even a standard deck of cards. The artwork is brilliant. The scenes on the cards are representative of photographs.The mechanics of the game is good and the game plays well.I picked up this game when it was on offer for less than £11 and really glad I took the gamble. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Ottimo qualità prezzo
È un bel giochino e per il prezzo merita dargli una possibilità. Ma prima di parlare della tipologia di gioco , vorrei soffermarmi sulla scatola e componentistica, studiate davvero bene! La scatola "riciclata" di un altro gioco (infatti non fatevi ingannare dal finto retro) , così come le carte che sembrano "rubate" da vari giochi. Anche il regolamento non è da meno, stampato come se fossero una serie di fogli trovate in giro su cui scrivere. In sostanza sembra che sia un gioco inventato prendendo pezzi di altri giochi: incarna perfettamente l'ambientazione, ovvero un post apocalittico con gli zombie! Il gioco infatti è un survival competitivo, veloce da giocare ma comunque si ha una certa profondità di pianificazione, l'ambientazione personalmente l'ho sentita in tutto e per tutto, rischi di morire ad ogni tiro di dado xDIo lo consiglierei anche solo da avere nella propria collezione perché è curato in tutto ed è ben fatto.

Hit Z Road (en anglais)
C'est un cadeau, je ne sais pas ce qu'il y a dedans. Mais je l'ai reçu beaucoup plus tôt que prévu et la boîte n'était pas froissée. Merci.

Tiradados entretenido para toda la famila
El juego se proporciona en inglés, a pesar que se especifique en el titulo lo contrario. A pesar de esto la dependencia de idioma es mínima y con un vocabulario básico se puede tranquilamente gozar de este juego de Martin Wallace.El diseño es muy bueno, ya que la "historia" del juego explica que el su propietario lo hizo con restos de juegos que encontraba durante su camino de Chicago a Los Angeles, en le medio de una catastrofe zombie a traves de la famosa Route66.El motor es de dados con una parte de subastas, con el objetivo de acumular mas puntos que tus oponentes o a lo mejor sobrevivir a los zombies! :)Compra perfecta a un precio irrisorio.
