Dawn of the Dice of the Dead is a cooperative horror survival game for 1-4 players based on the dice system created by Mads Brynnum for Dice of the Living Dead. The game adds an epic storyline and a multiplayer framework, as well as new mechanics. Players represent survivor groups who have a limited time to search through an abandoned mall to find supplies and materials that will help them be rescued, all the while fighting off ravenous zombies. Dawn of the Dice of the Dead can be played solo by controlling 1-4 survivor groups, or cooperatively by 2-4 players. As of March 2010, a print-and-play playtest version is expected to be available soon, as well as a Vassal module.
