From the website:
Dead & Alive s a solitaire game of survival in a Zombie infested town. It is a stripped down travel version of a multi-player boardgame I created.
It all went wrong driving into town. A kid stepped out from between two parked cars. I tried to stop in time, but I couldn’t. I got out of the car and he was still moving. He was alive… but it was all wrong. His arms and legs were broken in impossible angles, but he was still alive and moving and… oh lord. I heard something and looked up, they were coming, all these shuffling people covered in blood and bite marks. Then the kid started squirming, teeth snapping… I just ran, ran for the nearest house to hide… the radio said some sort of virus had escaped, and the Coast Guard was ferrying people off the island. I heard a window smash below, I gotta find something to fight with. There are more of them moving towards this house now. If I can only get out of here alive…
In a town filled with zombies you move building to building looking for weapons to help you survive and maybe find another survivor to aid you…as well as roving packs of zombies looking to feed. The game is different every time you play and is only 2 pages. You will need the rules, 2d6 a piece of graph paper and a pencil to play.

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.
For pictures, visit the gallery.
Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
