Zombie Board Game Created in Marlborough

The creators of a zombie board game live in Marlborough and brought a host of people together in the city to make their dream a reality.

A board game about zombies that started as a Christmas project two years ago has grown into a reality for Jeff Gracia of Marlborough.

“I always liked zombie movies,” Gracia told the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. “And board games are making a big resurgence.”

What began as a project around the holidays has expanded to a cardboard reality for Gracia and his wife Theresa. The game Zpocalypse has come into its final version following a great deal of work and the input of a number of people, according to the Telegram. Funds were raised using the website Kickstarter while talent was sourced from throughout the United States, according to the Telegram and Gazette.
