The Die Cast: City of Horror, or How to be a Backstabbing Bastard in the Zombie Apocalypse

Many games claim to be horror games, but City of Horror may be the most horrifying game you’ll ever play. Not because of the hordes of zombies threatening to tear your group of survivors to pieces, but because you and everyone at the table will do everything in your power to keep your team alive…even if it means stabbing you best friend in the back.

Join me as I struggle to survive the zombie invasion and the machinations of Daniel Kalbacher, Toni Salisbury, Brian Salisbury and Tyler Mager in a game of City of Horror.

Jacob and Daniel Reds
Apparently, our group thought color-coordination would save them, with Jacob and Daniel in red…

 

Toni and Tyler Greens
And Toni and Tyler in Green!

 

Brian, seen here with his weird prison tattoo, went a decidedly different direction

Or, more appropriately, join me as I attempt to survive their machinations. After all, the real monster isn’t the walking corpse, it’s the players to your left and right! This episode of the Die Cast has more cursing, screaming and betraying than any podcast you’ll hear this year. So barter canned goods, vote to see who dies, blow up the water tower and hit play!
