'ello from Indiana

Played my first game with my 3 kids. They're a little young (13, 12 and 7), and none of them wanted to play as the Zombies. I played the intro module and dropped the max zombies to 12 instead of 14.

The game lasted for about 2.5 hours. The older 2 took Johnny and Sally, and the youngest took Becky. Johnny and Sally pretty much camped at the HS, while Becky first ran to the diner and got the cleaver and went to town.

In all of the fights with Becky, the zombies only won once the entire game (which was removed with "It's only a scratch" card). I think that Becky was able to kill around 10 zombies.

The other two weren't having too much luck. They killed a few zombies with the guns, but they ended up having 1 or 2 shots before the guns went empty. Towards the end of the game, Becky was able to get to the Johnny and heal him, just so he'd get wounded the next turn.

The game ended with only 5 turns left. About all of the zombies were either with the players or within 1 or 2 spaces. It was the zombies' turn and they attacked all of the characters - 1 on Johnny and 2 on both Sally and Becky. Johnny took a wound, Sally fended her zombies off and Becky killed both of hers with the cleaver. It seemed like about every other combat, my 7-year old daughter playing Becky would roll a '6'.

Everyone seemed like they had fun, which is the whole purpose of the game.
