ZOMBIES!!!?

Who likes zombie flicks?

Well, for a start, my brother (and I suppose to a lesser degree, myself). I always find myself rooting for the zombies, because those who we're supposed to care about surviving are that fucking stupid they deserve to be consumed by the living dead, the quicker the better.

One hour ago, however, I became the hunted. Let me explain.

ZOMBIES!!! is a game whereupon you take the roll of anonymous survivor [insert colour] in the town centre of a zombie filled city. As a board game, each turn progresses with you initially taking a piece of terrain (a 9x9 tiled square) and placing it adjacently to the other squares in such a way that it creates a city street- filled with zombies. With each entrance or exit (or sometimes depending on if it's a specific random location like a hospital with may list more than that) you place a zombie at random on one of the tiles. Your street constructed, you then venture out to find some safety, roll the dice you are given and move that amount of distance in any direction. Should you meet a zombie, you must face it down or go back the way you came (but as my player found on several occasions, sometimes the living dead just don't give you a break- I walked smack bang into a police station crawling with the things.) Should you roll a four or over, it is successfully felled, if not, you must use either your health coupons or bullet coupons to aid you in slaying the monstrosity (each coupon is worth a value of one to your dice roll) and they can be readily picked up from locations such as shops and army surplus stores. Along the way, you can use your cards (a total of three in your hand at any one time) to add interesting encounters to the other players (such as randomly spawning a horde of the undead, or making them get lost in the streets) and aid you with items such as a handy shotgun or fire ax. At the end of the turn, you roll another dice, and are able to control as many zombies as there are numbers facing up. This can be handy in a pinch, you can direct them away from your character, or use them to make things dicy for your opponents.

The objective of the game is to GET TO DA CHOPPA! and be the sole survivor.

But this is not the inherent beauty of the game. It is entirely possible for you to make up your own game rules, such as rolling for random zombie spawns, creating different objectives to win the game, having one person control all the zombies on the board in their own zombie turn. The list is endless- and as the creators say "you bought the game, it's not like we can tell you what to do".


It is an incredibly fun and simple game to play. I recommend to all.
