There are no good zombie board games?

LNOE is definitely a great zombie board game, as others have mentioned it plays out very cinematic, and has lots of different ways of playing. the different characters add depth to the game. The way the zombies move (very slowly only one space at a time, except when cards are played that can alter movement) speaks a lot to how we often see them in movies milling about until a survivor gets to close. And the different scenarios can really change up the game style. In the scenario defend the manor house you do see a little more of that survivor instinct, where the heros only kill when they have. the purpose of this scenario is the prevent there from ever being 9 zombies in the manor house. so the heroes must pretty much hold up in there and protect by shooting down approaching zombies or fighting hand to hand when that fails. on top of that, heroes can't search in the manor house so the heroes must vacate it from time to time to get supplies etc before they head back.

most other scenarios are more of the bash-a-zombie-head-in style of game. but even escape in the truck lends more to the survivor story than the destroy the threat type.
