Undead is a board game published by Steve Jackson Games in 1981.

Gameplay

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

Reception

In the November 1981 edition of The Space Gamer, David Dyche commented that "All in all, this game is an excellent value."
In the December 1981–January 1982 edition of White Dwarf, 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."
A retrospective review in the December 1986 edition of Adventurer recalled the game as "quite absorbing and habit-forming. A tactical skilful game, I would recommend it as a worthwhile game."
In the January 1990 edition of Games International, Kevin Jacklin concluded that "The atmosphere is good, and the play reasonably paced and exciting."
