I've been involved in that once, as a Hero player. Started with 35 Zombies on the board edges... It actually gave a true sense of helplessness, and we didn't have a chance. Played out like a Custer's Last Stand zombie style. Lol.
So when you played was it with all the tiles or just the 4 tiles and center piece?
We used the centre board and all 8 tiles... the same layout to the web based download All Hallows Eve II: The Ritual
35 Zombies - regular 14 from the base game, 7 red from GH, and just black and purple sets bought seperately.
From memory
- No new Heroes
- No new Zombies under the normal turn-by-turn spawing rules. Exceptions of "new" Zombies were Zombie Heroes and those brought in by cards if zombies were available (ie eliminated previously) - examples Surprise Attack, Building Overrun etc etc
- Zombies start on outer tiles only
- All Heroes started in usual locations (hey, all boards were in play)
- Hero Pool (8) at start
- Barricades in play
Was just for a bit of experimental fun, whilst mildly intoxicated of course... but meant to simulate the 4 Heroes were indeed the last survivors (townsfolk excepted) against insurmountable odds. Also recall the Heroes didn't get many breaks... lost guns early, broken/lost hand weapons, Zombies brought in by cards, one Hero isolated early etc etc My own Hero... "Felt Kinda Strange" - the last 2 Heroes conceded when it was 2 vs about 25, totally surrounded, down to last wounds and death was immenent.
Might try it again sometime for a laugh... but start the Heroes on the "inner" tiles. Maybe roll for random building (as if playing the usual 4 tiles) for those who are supposed to start on the outer tiles... but nobody starts in the centre.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm thinking with the TP expansion there could be more hiding and hunting for the hero's I'll share my findings with you all. It will probly be a few weeks before I can get it up and running.
