#22 - Zed Deck

Zed Deck is a solitaire print-and-play card game. You must battle and dodge zombies while gathering supplies before the full moon, when all the zombies go into a frenzy. In your search you will encounter events such as various zombies, other survivors, and different hazards. You decide how many resources you wish to devote to overcoming an event (in the form of cards drawn). The more cards you draw the better your chance of overcoming the event but the less cards left in the deck to potentially gain supplies and equipment.

#20 - D-Day Dice: Free Trial Version

In D-Day Dice, players are soldiers trying to organize improvised units for an attack against the machine gun nest. Each player starts the game with a unit of a few soldiers and nothing else. As the game progresses, he will collect resources and advance on the beach, sector by sector, as his unit grows stronger and deadlier. He will succeed... or die trying.

#18 - Dice Of Arkham

Evil cultists are trying to summon a creature that will, as is often the case in these kinds of stories, destroy the world as we know it. You have to stop them by finding the seals that will prevent the ritual and bind the creature before they find the keys that bring it forth.
Every turn you roll and reroll dice Yahtzee style to generate the resouces needed to find the seals and to battle the evil that tries to stop you. The goal is to gather enough investigation to find the three seals before the time runs out or you’re killed or driven insane. But you have to be careful. Not only do you also roll mythos dice each turn which will send deranged cultists and eldritch monsters against you, every roll of your own dice can also cost your dearly.
Dice of Arkham is a solitaire game that is free to print and play. All you need is a print of the game sheet, eight normal dice, and eight small tokens or beads and you're ready to save the world.
