I tried to be objective above, so I'll add my personal thoughts here. First, it really does seem like this is one expansion divided into three: Scott refers to the three as "the Survival of the Fittest expansions." It's easy to see how together they'd more or less equal Growing Hunger: no new boards, but new zombie sculpts, four new heroes, new rules, new cards, etc. I don't personally have a problem with this, because I think it sounds like a lot of fun (especially the least important part of all -- the Grave Weapons minis -- they sound like a blast!). However, I know that others have commented on the fact that they don't like that they've divided this into three, and are charging significantly more that GH (or even the main game, for that matter) -- $75 for the three.

I will be getting all three, but I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

Also, I was a little worried about the Martian Game -- it had the potential to be pretty cheesy, with the carnie theme and all. However, I really like the way the martians look . . . they're on the right track so far!

One other note -- there was other info in the podcast. They talked about how each Flying Frog character picture (ie, the zombie frog, the frog with wings from ATOE) each represent a new board game, so when we see a new frog, we're seeing the hint at a new game. They said that the "Icarus Frog," for "what would appear to be a Mythology Game . . . "

There's also a game with Fish Men (talked about jokingly at first, but then confirmed) coming in the future . . .
