So me and the misses picked up a game that might interest a few of you out there, especially those who are fans of zombie movies or like imagining TEOTWAWKI via zombie invasion.
Its called ZOMBIES!!!, and basicaly its a "board" game. I say "board" because its actually 30 tiles that get placed one at a time by each player jigsaw puzzle-esque starting with the town center piece starting out. The idea, from this point on is to go around trying to kill zombies/survive, picking up life tokens and bullet tokens until the helipad square (which is inserted into the bottom half of the draw pile) is placed, then make a mad dash for it and kill the zombies there to escape. Alternative victory is killing 25 zombies. Event cards help to throw monkey wrenches at your opponents and aid yourself. For 2 to 6 players.
Note: game is best played with REALLY close loved ones or people who can take a joke. You really get to test the waters when you play a card that lets you drop 5 or 10 zombies anywhere you want, then a card that lets you move an opponent where ever you want, like right thru that horde of zombies that just cropped up. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry. You were so close to the helipad too"
