That's what a good zombie game should do. You shouldn't ever really feel safe. Zombie State starts with players taking a butt-kicking and then gets worse from there for the players. It IS competitive. Whoever has the most population when the first player is eliminated (or the virus goes airborne) wins. The only two downsides that I can see to the game is that you're basically forced to build tanks AND research the tank defensive upgrade very quickly. It leads to a "sameness" for the first few turns for all players. The game shines in the mid and end game, though. The second one is that the rules regarding "offensive" and "defensive" strength didn't make perfect sense the first time out. Resulted in referring to the rules a lot the first time out. And some may conisder the length a downer - a five player game will take the full three hours - but it's fun. Perhaps you'll develop walls to funnel all of the zombies into neighboring states. Maybe you'll develop nukes and drop one on a neighbors territory (oops - did Egypts have a 6 population die? Sorry). This makes the game feel more treacherous than you might first expect. Sure zombie hoards are killing off humanity, but will that stop us from settling our petty squabbles? Of course not. The production value is good considering this looks like basically a self published game. I thought about replacing zombie tokens with minis, but you really need to be able to flip them over, and once the brain munching is in full swing, you're going to appreciate tokens over minis. If you like ANYTHING about any zombie game, this is a pretty good pick up. |
