The journey goes like this

It's like telling a movie

 

First, generate a Zone.

Pick from 61 location cards from four themed decks, to instantly generate a Zone. Your destination: the center, where it is said you'll get deepest wish.

 

Create doomed characters

Combine 24 Characters and 48 Obsession and Phobia cards to create a broken husk in minutes.

Direct scenes

You'll take turns answering prompts from a Scene deck full of beauty and horror. (There is no GM)

Mutate your friends

Challenges are resolved using a deck of narrative complications which triggers the creative heart of the game: mutation.

Meet your fates until only one of you survives

Your deaths are predetermined by Fate cards, so you can play-to-lose until the lucky (or unlucky) survivor makes it to the Center.

Those who die, switch to playing the Zone itself, and judge the final survivor's wish.

THE ZONE is a tabletop roleplaying game about a doomed expedition into a mysterious quarantine zone, whose center will grant one survivor their deepest wish.With 248 cards, easy-to-learn rules, and no need for a gamemaster, The Zone is the perfect way to spend an evening telling a deeply immersive and spooky tale of hubris & mutation in the dark.
