Button Shy Games, in a licensing agreement with Skybound Tabletop, has announced the launch of “The Walking Dead”: Surrounded, a new 18-card game that takes the library of “The Walking Dead” and compresses it into a portable play experience.

Based on the comic by Robert Kirkman, “The Walking Dead”: Surrounded is a 1-4 player cooperative game where players work together to keep Walkers in check and Leaders in balance while maximizing the limited resources and fulfilling goals to survive.

“As the home of ‘The Walking Dead’, Skybound is always looking for unique ways to expand the property with exciting new modes of entertainment,” says Garima Sharma, vice president, licensing and partnerships, Skybound. “Button Shy Games’ new card game packs a big punch in a small package and we can’t wait for players to experience the world of ‘The Walking Dead’ in Surrounded.”

Button Shy Games is also publishing a six-card expansion called “The Walking Dead”: Surrounded – Under Siege that offers new mercenary Occupants, Locations, scenarios and scoring conditions.
