Scenario: Patient Zero

[twopiearr]

Thoughts in no particular order:

- Why can only one subset of zombies spread the plague? With the plague carriers requiring a distributed setup, it's gonna take some doing for patient zero to get to more than one plague carrier. Since the zombie player can't generate without spreading the plague, a lucky human set up could allow them to take out patient zero and the first plague carrier relatively early in the game.

- To that extent, it might make sense to set the heroes up before the zombies set up. The zombie player is effectively dead in the water until he gets about 3 zombies, so allowing him to set that up strategically might be worthwhile.

- I'm not sure I understand point #2 under Special Rules - at what point would the Zombie player not control Patient Zero?

- A possible way to ease zombie player control issues - if 3 Hero players are killed, the initial Zombie player only plays Patient Zero. Assuming Patient Zero is still alive of course.

- To that extent, I kind of want Tom to be patient zero - the zombie player has more of a chance if the heroes have to take down the most resilient character in the game, especially if they no longer have him in the pool. Otherwise, if the heroes roll lucky and bum rush patient zero early, game ends.

- For purposes of setup, does the Freezer count as a building?
