<p>I was going through <a href="https://www.explodingkittens.com/pages/how-to-play-zombie-kittens" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this site</a> but I am not understanding why one would &quot;resurrect&quot; another player?</p>
<p>Wouldn't it be more advantageous to let them stay dead?</p>

I was going through [this site](https://www.explodingkittens.com/pages/how-to-play-zombie-kittens) but I am not understanding why one would "resurrect" another player?

Wouldn't it be more advantageous to let them stay dead?
