Texas Hold'em with Zombies (THZ) is an adventure card game which blends poker strategy with role-playing elements. Players spend rounds of game play betting their life on winning poker hands, collecting much needed item cards, and killing zombies. Each round, players compete to play these zombies against the other players. Unless you have the right item cards to kill them, barricade against them, or lure them back against the other players who sent them, the undead will eat your chip stacks, your life. A game is won by the player who best masters the knowledge of suited card play, reading people, weapon and defense item card combinations, and a bit of good 'ole fashioned' luck!
