The Zombie Survival Guide Deck: Complete Protection from the Living Dead [Cards]

Max Brooks (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 22, 2008

The dead walk among us. This flashcard deck was created to provide private citizens – people with limited time and resources – with an emergency crash course in basic zombie survival techniques. Organized by theme, this deck includes commonsense advice that will be your first asset in a moment of panic:

Avoid dressing in chain mail, plate mail, or any other heavy body armor: Without the speed or agility to outrun your attackers, you’ll end up as little more than canned food.

Consider all factors when choosing a weapon: Once a chain saw runs out of fuel, it provides as much protection as a handheld stereo.

Know your enemy: Our greatest advantage over the undead is our ability to think. Use your head, and cut off theirs!

I have the book and love it... so you don't really need this set of cards. However, this is great to keep in the bathroom for guests to look at. It's a nice bit-sized way to help others get prepared for the impeding zombie apocalypse.

being someone who enjoys max brooks writing, and having a friend suggest them to me, i recently got these as a gift from my wishlist and i absolutely love them. they are a great addition to my ever growing zombie collection, and heck, if your mind goes blank in an emergency, flash cards are the way to go, you don't want to take too much time scanning a book while a zombie is getting ready to chomp down on your brains. you can simply look at the header of the card and if it's not your scenario, just flip it to the end of the pile, pretty easy to do while running.

These cards go hand in hand with the book. The information may be the same, but it is fun to have handy cards around as an addition. Either way you read it, they are great and it is kind of nice to have a card deck around that my friends can pick up and read for tidbits on saving themselves from a Zombie Apocalypse!
