Ziege

Outsmart the horde in a battle of wits.

Play as a team of scientists tasked with getting the cure to safety after an outbreak has taken over the lab. Outsmart the infected as you navigate the board, making strategic moves to ensure the cure's survival in this strategy-driven board game.

Will you escape with the cure?

Overview and Objectives

Ziege is played on a 7x7 grid of squares.

Accompanying the board are 12 Infected and 8 Scientists, plus an additional Head Scientist that holds the Cure.

Ziege is a game of unequal sides and different objectives.

The Scientists aim to escort the Head Scientist to an edge square on the board

The Infected aim to capture the Head Scientist before he escapes to an edge with the Cure.

How to Play

All pieces move like the rook in chess; in a straight line for as many empty squares as the player chooses.

Pieces cannot hop over other pieces and cannot move diagonally.

A piece is captured when trapped between two opposing pieces.

A captured piece is immediately removed from the board.

It is possible to capture multiple pieces at once.

Lastly, a piece can safely move to a square between two of the opponents pieces without being captured.
