The ideas keep coming

For the DRAWN TO NOISE card, I think it might be more beneficial to a zombie player to not have this as a Remains in Play card but more like a reaction card when someone uses a gun (like Resilience).

If players know in advance what the ramifications of their actions will be, they will actively do their best to plan around it. Like Resilience, I could see multiple copies of this card in a zombie deck and use it to catch a hero by surprise when they fire a gun ("Whoops, I didn't think this through. That shot sure did make a lot of noise.")

In fairness, I think I would assign a die role to each zombie in range to see if they move as not all zombies will always react to noise (like all zombies within 3 spaces of the hero may move 1 space toward that hero on a d6 roll of 4+)

I have been thinking of a similar card for awhile because I wanted to add a small element of gunfire noise and zombie reaction to my game as well (and allow custom weapon cards like Crossbow and other "silent" ranged weapons to not be affected) without making it a staunch rule (only come up at a few random times in a game).

While I'm thinking of it, I think the "matching hero card" to this would be CAUSE DISTRACTION or MAKE NOISE. This would purposely be used by a hero player to attempt to attract zombies in range toward them on a similar die roll. The strategy to this would be to maybe counter zombie hunger during the zombie move turn (try to get the zombie to come toward you instead of into the space of a friend that is down to their last wound). That's just one instance. It could be used whenever. Again, this wouldn't always work. Maybe have a similar chance of a 4+ roll for those within the affected area.
