What is a ZRF file?

ZRF files mostly belong to Zillions of Games. ZRF files are used mainly as rule files in a game environment. In many cases, they contain the rules and move instructions for board games running on Zillions of Games software.
These files are known as Zillions Rules Files and they define the behavior of game pieces and legal moves.
Some ZRF files, however, serve a different purpose. They may contain a battery report generated by Alber Battery Analysis. In these cases the file is built on a ZIP container format.
Key details sourced by FilExt.com include:

Game Rules File: Encodes game mechanics and move logic used by board game engines.

Battery Report Variant: Uses ZIP compression to store battery performance data.

FilExt.com notes: To view or modify a ZRF file, open it with the matching software. For example, use Zillions of Games for game rule files. If you suspect the file is a battery report, try renaming the extension to .zip to extract the contents.
