got a chance to play the WWZ board game this weekend.
we had 4 players.. game is for 2-6
it's clear whoever designed the game has played, and possibly liked 'pandemic'
there are 6 roles to play. ( transportation specialist, shooter people, control people.. etc. each roll represents some sort of special team to be deployed around the globe to handle the zombie hordes before they take over )
rules are pretty simple on a fold out card.
basically you have tactic and weapon cards to help you.
unfortunately.. I think the world is doomed. the weapons they give these elete special force teams are things like hatchets, baseball bats and crowbars !!!!!!
won our first game narrowly.. good challange level..
movement is mostly hoofing it.. however there is an aircraft carrier with like 5 planes on it that are 1 use items. they can , on your move, fly, pick you up anywhere and take you anywhere adn then that token is burned.
some tactic cards are redeployment helicopters that can swap you and another persons places.. so that is some movement too.
Good game. keep track of your very limited resoruces.. focus on taking out the strongest hordes, and less focus on the lower hordes.. use each characters special ability to it's most extent. one role gives all other players a +1 in combat. one role has a +2 to his combat. one role prevents hordes from expanding in the zone he is in ( this can be big.... heck.. they are all GOOD )
