Yeah it's a lot of fun, never had a clear win (had my area zombie free) though. Some of the terms are a little strange and it takes a while before you get what they were meaning. For instance, each zone has a level of population that is 'eaten' away by the zombies. But it doesn't actually directly represent an area's population. A more accurate term would have been infrastructure, as it represent the cohesion of society in that region as a whole (deaths (via zombies or otherwise), people fleeing the area, breakdown of institutions (police, etc).

There are a few other instances like this. Whether it just was just bad translation or bad choice of terminology on the part of the designers. Either way, it's still a great game. And although it has 'some' very slight similarities to Pandemic it is in no way a zombie themed version of that game any more than it is a version of Risk.

Also very customisable.
