A few of my own rules

I guess all of them might be expansions. Here's one example: http://flyingfrogwiki.com/ffpwiki/index....h_and_Claw

Remember this tidbit: If the hero ends his turn in a space with zombies, he'll have to fight ALL of those zombies on his turn. And then, again on the zombie turn, he'll have to fight them. That's pretty devastating even without zombies having other bonuses for mobs. Zombies are already hard to kill (they win on ties, and to kill them you need to have both the highest die and have doubles...). I doubt there's a way to make zombies work in swarms without making them suck individually.

On the flip side, heroes don't always work together. Look at all the movie tropes -- half the time, the survivors are as much a harm to one another than the zombies are! Within LNOE, we already have the cards "Bickering" and "Don't trust 'em" and "Teen Angst" to bring that to the forefront. LNOE is supposed to play like a movie. People don't work together often or well without being trained to do so, especially under the stress of fighting zombies. (Work together situations exist too: being in the same space on the zombie turn where you split up the zombies instead of each of you fighting them all, using your items (first aid) on an ally, the card Unnecessary Self Sacrifice, the hero Nurse Becky, and all of the various townsfolk events).

Now if you want "swarm tactics", check out FFP's other game that uses the LNOE "engine": Invasion from Outer Space. It was built from the ground-up with the martians operating in packs, and getting better and stronger as they work in these packs.
