About the game

What is The Winking Dead

Help Eyenstein and his one-eyed companions, Iris and Hawk, return to their home world of Myclopia after a lab accident strands them blinking around the Viewniverse. Harness the power of the Viewniverse by collecting Viewpoints to help the Blinkers return home!

The Winking Dead, the fourth set in the episodic Viewniverse card game series, sees the Blinkers finally getting a chance to relax on the idyllic world of Paradise. Their respite is cut short when they discover that a Zombeye plague is infecting the citizens of Paradise. Join the Blinkers as they try to eradicate the Zombeye plague. If the Blinkers escape Paradise, catch them in the next episode - Illuminati Wars.

The number in the top-left-hand corner of each card indicates the number of Viewpoints the card is worth and the text at the bottom is the action to be performed. In turn, players simply draw a card from the Draw Pile and play a card from their hand into their Field of View.

At the end of their turn players count the Viewpoints of the cards in their Field of View, the first player to collect 100 or more Viewpoints wins. An alternative way to win, is to be the last player to have seven zombeyes their Field of View and be overwhelmed by the zombeye plague. The Winking Dead gameplay is swift to dive into and deceptively strategic. Each card provides you with Viewpoints towards your objective as well as changing the game state in a variety of ways.
