The Isaludo Series - Dead Center
We are continuing our venture into the Isaludo set of games with a standard deck of cards, this time with a zombie game. In Dead Center, you are trapped inside a cabin surrounded by zombies. Undead Kings, Queens and Jacks are clawing on your walls and banging on the windows. You are not hopeless, however: you can add support on all sides of the cabin to make it stronger, and take advantage of the fortifications in order to kill these hungry freaks.
In practical -gameplay- terms, you will shuffle your deck and draw 9 cards to form a 3x3 grid. Around the grid, you will place the court cards (zombies) face down. Then, on each turn, you will a) reveal a zombie, b) draw a card from the deck and play it in the grid, and c) try to kill the zombie that corresponds to the line you played your card in. If your deck runs out before taking out all the zombies, you lose.
To play a card in the grid, you must follow three specific restrictions: you can place it on top of a same colour card if that card is of higher value, or on top of an opposite color card if that card is of lower value. You may also place it on a same value card of any colour. Jokers have a value of zero but act as wilds, and Aces have a value of 1.
