Laying Down The Law

[PJON]

“Laying Down The Law”

The small quiet town of Woodinvale has been over run with Zombies.

“WARNING TO ALL CITIZENS – Due to the infestation of Zombies, MARSHALL LAW HAS BEEN ENACTED – ALL CREATURES MOVING OUTSIDE WILL BE SHOT ON SITE. It is best to stay in your homes until the infestation has been eliminated.
THIS IS YOUR ONLY AND FINAL WARNING!!! “
Thank you, Sheriff Anderson. Brought to you by the Community of Woodinvale. Have a pleasant day J

For years Sam has owed the bank, to pay for his Dinner, and home. For years he has stood across the Center of Town, watching the Bank, take more and more of his, and his friend’s money. Watching the Bank get bigger and fancier, while he can’t afford to pay his loan, and the bank threatens to foreclose. Wishing and hoping his debt would be paid off. He hatches a plan. “Rob the Bank?” It’s a perfect time, no one is around, or if they are around, they’re already dead. Sam tells his friend Jake to wait with Johnny (Amanda’s BF) He will be back soon with a way out of Woodinvale.

GAME PLAY- Regular - Zombie Turn, Hero Turn

All Zombies are subject to Hunger. All Zombies eat all Heroes. (yes, it is possible to be attacked by your own Zombies ) Zombie turn is simultaneously. Move the Sun Dial Tracker.
Player 1 takes their 2nd action. Player 2 takes their 2nd action.
P1 takes their 3rd action P2 takes their 3rd action and so on. This can be broken down, by using the same method as below.

Odd turn numbers Player 1 goes first. Using 1 of his Heroes. Then Player 2 uses 1 hero, then Player 1 uses their 2nd hero, Player 2 plays their 2nd… And so one

Even turn numbers Player 2 goes first, with regards to Zombie and Hero turns.

Seems interesting, have you gave this a go with friends yet? Did I have any influence?

Hi, I have played it a bunch of times. I play a bunch of 2 player games
I have been on both sides. Sam has yet to win, a bunch of stratageys on his side to play out. Jake has actually stood on The Road out of Town. Only to be shot dead by Rochelle and Sally. It was fun because Amanda shot a flare at Sally and killed her. Then Johnny Ran out of the Diner and Beat the crap out of Rochelle (chainsaw helped) To bad for Amanda and Johnny, because those deaths happened during turn 1, the final turn. Great fun though
