Anyone else played it?

Thanks for posting my review of ZOMBIES!!!. Hope someone finds it useful. I know it is not strictly the norm for games to be reviewed here, but I remembered one being done for the horror trivia game and figured I would give it a shot.

So has anyone else played ZOMBIES!!!? What opinions you have?

I plan to get the first expansion within the week and get it into gaming rotation. If the first review sees enough interest I will gladly review the expansion also.

So what does everyone else think?

Not that I have seen for board games.... but certainly there are plenty horror theme role-playing games.

(NOTE: the review link on the sidebar says it is an RPG, which technically is not true.)

The rules have a review from the creator of one fo those RPGs called "All Flesh Must Be Eaten". And of course the usual lineup... Chill, Vampire, Werewolf, Hell on Earth, Call of Cthulu, Beyond the Supernatural, etc... etc...

But I think this is the first board game on the topic like this. If not the VERY first, i have not seen any I recall, and I am an avid gamer.

Role Playing Game (RPG)- in these you create characters and then act out what they woudl do in given situations. Actions are resolved with dice (normally) based on the difficulty of the action and the level of skill your character has. these are like living stories. You can use miniatures and maps, but they are not strictly neccessary.

Computer Equivalents- Neverwinter nights, Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot

Wargames- this is Warhammer, Battletech, HeroClix, etc... these games are about controlling armies of miniatures and winning battles against your opponent. You are not in any real character, but act as an overseer determining what your armies or units will do strategically.

Computer Equivalent- Warcraft, Starcraft, Command & Conquer

Boardgames- these are as simple as Sorry, or as complex as Settlers of Cataan. These you are neither a character, nor do you control armies. You control a single toekn and try to accomplish the winning objective before everyone else.

ZOMBIES!!! is certainly a board game. Unlike a static board like monopoly, the tile system makes each game different. The rules are fast and easy.

You can pay $35 for Monopoly, and all they give you is a shoe..............

The website even has scenario games, and even some solo scenarios. And i hope i got the idea across the idea that the zombies swarm. hehe.... DEFINATELY want to buy the bag o' ZOMBIES!!!. Any product with that name alone deserves to be purchased.

Game and Comic stores. May have to order online, but a lot of the online places seemt o be sold out. they are really doing well with this game.

Hehe.... just picked up the expansion.

Seems there is at least some interest, so let me give it a few runs to work out the kinks and i will have another review to post.
