Zombies!!!

(1/1)

Tim Boothby:
Zombies!!! is a tabletop game from Twilight Creations Inc, and its one of those games that the name says it all.

The game comes with: 30 Map Tiles, 50 Card Event Deck, 100 Plastic Zombies, 6 Plastic Shotgun Guys (pawns), 30 Life Tokens, 60 Bullet Tokens, 2 Dice and the rules, which are nice and short. The object of the game is to be the first one to get to the heliport and escape, or be the first one to kill 25 zombies.

But, there's a catch; actually, there's a few catches.

The first catch is that you don't know where the heliport is, at the start of each player's turn they take a map tile off the top of the deck and place it on the table, the tiles have to line up, using roads to align them, and the helipad is shuffled into the bottom half of the deck, so the helipad doesn't appear until at least after 15 map tiles.

The second catch is the event cards, these give you abilities and items to help fight the zombies, but they also have what I like to call "screw your buddy cards," just in case someone is getting too close to winning for your comfort.

The third catch is that each square adds zombies to the game, plain squares add a zombie at each connecting road point, and others add more, each map tile has 9 squares, so there will be anywhere from 1-9 zombies. Many of them also add lives and bullets, and obviously the more goodies assigned to each tile comes with increased zombie risks.

I'm not going to go too far into game play because you can go to the game's site and get all of the nitty gritty details, including the rules to all of the versions and expansions, and there are many, so theoretically you can keep this game going on forever.

Its an easy game to play:

* Place a map tile (and add zombies and goodies.)
* Fight zombies if they are on your space at the start of your turn.
* If you have less than 3 event cards, draw to top off your hand.
* Roll to see how far you move.
* Move your piece the number of spaces (normally 1-6, you're using a d6) stopping to fight any zombies that occupy spaces you have to pass through..
* Make a zombie move roll, (d6 again) and move the number of zombies that the dice indicate 1 spare each. This is aqlso a good "screw your buddy opportunity."
* At the end of your turn you can ditch an event card (if you can't use it or it seems lame,) and you draw a new one at the start of your next turn.
Seriously, they kept the rules pretty easy, not all games are rocket science. ;) This is a game worth picking up, and goes very well with a couple of beers.

It was a really fun party game, even for those who had never played before ^^
