oh no zombies

[soundguy]

picked up this board game a couple weeks ago.. finally got to play it this weekend.


4 player. rules are printed on an insert inside the box.. so not very extensive rules. I was thinking it might be too simple.. but it actually made for a pretty fun play.

premis is you and out to 3 other survivors are in a shack inthe middle of a small village.. cell phones got no service.. but there is a cb radio in the shack.. but batteries are dead. you have to follow a path ( various paths ) to make it into town to one of the small shops on the edge of town ( 4 shops at board corners ) anf get some batteries.. and then get back to the shack.

there are 1-used shotguns in each shack with the bats. there are 6 zombies on the board in preset locations. there are also a few 1 use hand weapons that auto respawn after use. they are at preset locations. the do not kill zombies.. they just fend them off and let you move away a few spaces. player takes a turn. rolls dice, moves. then a player tot he right rolls to move the zombies. play then passes to player on the left of original player, witthe player to the right of the active player doing the zombie turn. IE.. play passes left.. and the zombie player is always the previous player.

pretty simple. if you have a weapon you automatically kill or flee a zombie. if no weapon you draw from the 20 card deck. lots of lil story line details as to what happens onthe cards.. ( may move away from a zombie.. may kill a zombie.. may get turned into a zombie. ).. overall.. on a draw.. you have a 40% chance to die. if you die, you become a zombie.. and still mve on your turn.. etc.


neat game... it was cheap.. like 9$ at amazon.

zed figs are large.. like 28-30mm and not super detailed.. and solid color.. but again.. it's a fun play. a game can be setup in 5 minutes and play thru in 30m.

so for a quick zed fix.. you can be in and out in 40m
