A friend and I came up with our first variant this afternoon. Any feedback would be great! If it's too human centric, my thoughts would be to require either the keys and/or the gas to get the truck started before they can leave...
- Set aside the L-piece with "Road out of Town". This will be the "edge of town" at the top of the board. Place the truck on the "Road out of Town" space
- Arrange the remaining 5 L-pieces as shown, in random order. This is the main part of town.

There have been reports of survivors in the city Dodge, holed up in their homes, waiting for help. You've been sent with a team from the state capitol to search for these survivors and bring them to safety. With the amount of carnage in the areas, though, they don't have much
time! Find the Sickies, get them to the truck, and get the F--k out of Dodge.
Scenario Title: Let's Get the F--k Out of Dodge
Turns: 20
Necessary markers: Bio Canisters, Truck
- Choose four Hero characters as normal (random, or specific your choice)
- The hero team starts with either 6 specific hero cards, or 12 random hero cards, distributed as desired
- Roll four random building to determine the location of the Sickies.
- Place the remaining hero models in these buildings, in any space not touching a door. These are the Sickies. Place a wound marker under each to indicate they are sick. Lay them on their side as well to indicate they are cowering in a corner like scared children and cannot move until found.Take note of which model is assigned to which remaining Hero card, and set these Hero cards aside.
- Heroes much enter each building and use a Search Turn to free the Sickies, and let them know it's now or never to get the F--k Out of Dodge.
- Once discovered, Sickies are controlled by the discovering Hero player. Place the model upright, and they are then played as normal, with all special abilities. However: Sickies start the game with only one remaining wound space (i.e. Jake Cartwright would start as a Found Sickie with 2 wounds, Billy with 1, etc). Sickies have had time in their hiding spots to find 2 random hero cards, but are weakened and can only move D3 spaces at a time. Sickies' first turn occurs immediately upon being found.
- Sickies have 6 turns (including their "discovered" turn) to get to the truck containing the anti zombie medicine the capitol team has brought with them. Upon reaching the truck, Sickies health is replenished entirely. If they fail to reach the truck within 6 turns, the Sickies become Zombie Heroes controlled by the Zombie player/s (move D3, attack with two fight dice, no items or special abilities).
- If a Sickie has turned into a zombie hero, they can be revived if a Hero or Non-Zombied Sickie does the following:
- enters the morgue
- Uses a search turn to find the search item "bio canister" (an in-progress anti-zombie agent developed by Dodge medical staff)
- Bio canister has a range of 1 and hits on a 2+, as the hero dumps the bio canister on an adjacent space, restoring the Zombie Hero/Sickie's state. On a roll of 1, the bio canister is found to have spoiled and is useless.
- This includes Sickies that
- Once revived, Sickies
- Heroes can only carry one bio canister at a time.
- Note that heroes turned into Zombie Heroes are Zombies for the rest of the game! (until killed)
- Once entering the truck, Sickies cannot move away, as a side effect of the anti-zombie medicine is paralysis of the legs, drowsiness, and mild nausea. Each turn, Sickies may search the truck's toolbox for a random hero card rather than move, in an attempt to fend off any Zombies that may be approaching. With the bed of the truck for storage, there is no limit to items Sickies can hold at once after reaching the truck.
- If a Sicky dies on the truck, they are assumed to be Actually Dead, not Zombies. Strangely, after becoming infected, and then dying, Sickies can be revived to original Sicky state (one free health spot, no items), by use of a bio canister.
- With the added stability and hiding of the truck, all ranged weapons have an increased range of one when fired by a Sickie in the truck
- Rolling a random building results in the following assignments for L-pieces, then individual buildings as indicated.
- Heroes win with 2 sickies ALIVE in the truck, and 2 heroes alive in the truck at the end of a hero round. They can then Get the F--k out of Dodge
- Squeeze spots can be navigated by either Students, or Sickies, as they have atrophied in their pre-zombie state
- Zombies spawn as normal, but cannot spawn on the "edge of town" piece above the center of town (Junkyard Spawning pit). A spawning pit may be placed there by a card or event, however.
- Set aside the L-piece with "Road out of Town". This will be the "edge of town" at the top of the board. Place the truck on the "Road out of Town" space
- Arrange the remaining 5 L-pieces as shown, in random order. This is the main part of town.
