Individual gameplay, 7 players vs 1 zombi

[Lyude]

I don't like the game with 2 zombie players, and soemtimes we are 8... so, what about a 8 player game with individual objectives?

I come up with that ideas:

- The player with the most points win
- The event cards can't be played on other heros.
- The 8 L-board sections are used.
- Zombie player knows at all moment what objectives each hero has and keep track of them.

You can win points by killing zombis, escaping in one of the 4 vehicles or by revealing clues.

The differente objecives that I come up with are.

- Try to be the last survivor.
- Zombi's ally, you can atack other heros, thay can't hurt you but can disarm you.
- Save 4 townsfolk
- Get 2 first aid kits and 2 weapons, then fully barricated one building.
- Kill 15 zombis
- Discover 3 different clues and escape
- Try to escape with the maximum heros.

I'm happy with the escaping and the clues, but I hope you guys can help me a bit with the different objectives the heros can have.

Sorry for me english and I wait your answers and advices

It almost sounds like playing Mission Risk, but you are facing one common, never ending enemy... I think if you had the extra zombie pieces, it would work out. Would be interesting to watch.

How about making it a Victory Point based game? So that you actually create a Victory Points deck, with different tasks for each card.
For example:
Kill 5 zombies
Fully barricade a building
Wound another hero
Gain 1 Victory Point, lucky you!
etc etc.

These cards will then be visible for other Heroes, so that they can plan their tactics accordingly.

These would be in addition to the end goal of each player, which will be kept secret, and be tracked by the zombie player.

I think to make things a little equal for the zombie player is that they get a hand of 7 cards (i.e., 1 card per character)
The maximum number of zombies = 3.5 x #players = 25 zombies
Roll 0.5 x #players = 4 dice to determine if zombies are spawned
roll 0.25 dice x players = 2 dice to determine # zombies spawned
