Gameplay

Undead is a board game for 2–3 players [1] in which one player takes the role of the moderator, one is Dracula, and the other players takes the roles of Professor van Helsing and other vampire hunters. [2]

The hunters must prevent Dracula from spawning more vampires by tracking the movement of coffins at night and investigating them by day. [1]

Reception

In the November 1981 edition of The Space Gamer (Issue 45), David Dyche commented that "All in all, this game is an excellent value." [2]

In the December 1981–January 1982 edition of White Dwarf (Issue 28), Bob McWilliams gave it an above-average overall rating of 8 out of 10, saying, "On the whole this is quite an enjoyable game, probably best played with a number of people and also quite good value for its money." [3]

A retrospective review in the December 1986 edition of Adventurer (Issue 5) recalled the game as "quite absorbing and habit-forming. A tactical skilful game, I would recommend it as a worthwhile game." [4]

In the January 1990 edition of Games International (Issue 12), Kevin Jacklin concluded that "The atmosphere is good, and the play reasonably paced and exciting." [1]
