Zombies!!! The Board Game

For those of you looking for a game to play that makes you think a bit more than the average video game and takes you back to the days of playing board games, while at the same time using the Zombie Apocalypse as a backdrop. Zombies!!!

May be this game is for you.

This is a quick overview of the game as there are many little things that happen that can help or hurt you. Playing the game a few times is the best way to obtain a better knowledge of the game itself. Zombies!!! is a zombie based board game released in 2001 by Twilight Creations. The game is tile based (which you can expand upon with expansion pieces. The game itself starts you off with 28 tiles)

 

The tiles represent difrent stretches of road and the goal is to get from the Town square to a helicopter pad to escape. Tiles or stretches of road have places like gun shops, grociery stores police station and a hospital. The tiles become the game board in Zombies!!!

Besides the starting and ending tiles, there are 28 random tiles included in the game. When a player begins the game he or she chooses a tile and lays it down. This is how the city is shaped or built and what makes one game to another different. Zombies are also placed on the tiles (determined by a roll of the die) If a player and a Zombie occupy the same tile the player must try and destroy the Zombie. The player rolls a die and must roll a four or greater to kill the Zombie, if not the player loses a life token. If the player dies they start at the town square again.  If the player does kill the Zombie it goes into what is called a Bone pile (kill total for the game) At the end of a turn the player also rolls a die and the number he or she rolls is the number of Zombies they can move on the board (Zombies only move one square at a time)

 

Winning is simple get to the helicopter first or kill 25 Zombies. But you are competing against the Zombies in your way and the other player or players putting them in your path as you do the same to them. It is a fun game that changes all the time.
