The whole point of the scenario is to play solo. Did you mean get different people to play test it? If so, that's the purpose of the post. Try it out and let me know your thoughts!

Starting tiles: All Heroes start at the opposite edge of the board on the same tile outside a building. (So they may not begin searching in the first turn).
Using the Zombie cards. Maybe: At the beginning of the Zombie turn flip over the first two cards. You have to use them at the first possible occasion. At the beginning of the next Zombie turn all cards not used are discarded and two new cards are drawn.
Of course there are some cards that should be taken out first like Shamble or Taken Over...

Spirit, Thanks so much for your continued support of the scenario.

I've also been thinking through the use of Zombie Cards. The idea I had was to put one card in front of each player at the beginning of the Zombie turn face up. If it is a fight card it is used in the first fight that Zombie has that turn or the following human's turn. If it is a movement card, enact the card right away. I think it is important to know what cards to take out. Any suggestions?

The second idea I had was to start initially with one Hero, and have 3 Heroes tied up in a separate random building on each map corner, that you need to "rescue" and build your party. In which case, you could choose to only rescue 3 and play the game with 3 heroes.

The third idea I had was to create a second victory condition besides killing all 12 zombies. It could be a simple, get the gas in the car. Haven't play tested any of these ideas yet. Just need to get some time.
