Round Sequence
1. Planning Phase:
o Each player draws 1 Survivor Card from his/her Survivor deck.
o The Leader then draws 2 Event Cards, choosing 1 to keep and 1 to Neglect.
o The Neglect effect resolves immediately. The chosen Event becomes the Active Event.
2. Survivor Phase:
o Starting with the Leader, each player takes a turn.
o During his/her turn, a player must play 1 Survivor Card (Compliant or Defiant).*
o Then, the player performs 1 Maneuver and/or 1 Action (in any order).
3. Event Phase: After each player has taken a turn, resolve each Special Rule in play, as well as the Active Event.
o If no player has performed the Active Event Card’s Ability, the Leader suffers 1 Stress Token.
4. Walker Phase: Ready Walkers activate. Then, new Walkers are placed on the map based on Threat. (See below)
5. Objective Phase: Check Objectives. The Leader may pass the Leader Token to his left by discarding 1 Trust.
o If the Leader is fully Stressed, the Leader must pass the token to his left.
* Each Event and Survivor Card features an Approach ( Normal – Green , Cautious – Yellow , or Aggressive – Red ).
Survivor Cards are considered Compliant if they match the active Approach and Defiant if they do not match.
 When the Leader plays a Defiant card, he/she must discard 1 Trust.
 When a Survivor plays a Defiant card, the Leader must suffer 1 Stress.

Walker Phase
1. Reanimate: Replace each Corpse Token with a knocked-down Walker.
2. Walker Activation: Each ready Walker activates. Note: Knock down each Walker after it activates.
o Overrun (Activate each space containing both ready Walkers and human figures.)
 Survivors must collectively Exert X, with X equal to the number of ready Walkers in their space.
 Knocked down strangers are immediately defeated (unless protected by a Survivor).
 If no other humans are in the space, each Rival defeats one Walker. Then, each remaining Walker
defeats one Rival. All remaining Rivals are knocked down.
o Swarm (Activate each space containing only Walkers adjacent to human figures.)
 All ready Walkers from the activated space move into the space containing human figures.*
o Shamble (Activate each remaining space containing only Walkers.)
 Each ready Walker in the activated space moves 1 space toward the nearest human figure.*
* Random Movement: In case of a tie, use the compass on the Map discard pile to prioritize movement.
* Barricades:
 If the number of Walkers does not exceed the number of Barricades, Walkers are knocked down.
 If the number of Walkers exceeds the number of Barricades, 1 Barricade is removed.
o If no more Barricades remain, the Walkers move as normal.
o If 1 or more Barricades remain, Walkers are knocked down.
