The town layout is drawn randomly from a tile deck, there are event cards to play, giving equipment or hazards for the other players and health and bullets to be found in many of the named buildings. We've played this a few times, notably for T'Other One's stag do.
This time we added the Mall expansion. The Mall is discovered somewhere in the town, and the helicopter pad is on the top of the Mall. It has its own tiles and event deck.
The helipad is revealed (lowest left) and it's full of zombies
'Eaten' players respawn in the town square tile, meaning it's a long plod back towards the helipad, we ruled that respawning at the entrance to the Mall was better. I think all of us had to respawn at least once.
There was a good bit of card play, such as doubling the number of zombies on the helipad (snigger), but by eleven o'clock we were sort of helping each other by clearing zombies out of the way.
T'Other One's yellow pawn about to respawn. So close. Gosh, I wonder why there are so many zombies on the helipad?
In the end Grim (blue) managed to get through.
Zombies!!! is a fun Beer and Pretzels game with many expansions. I suspect that regular play needs these expansions to add something fresh, we certainly enjoyed the new cards.
Every time I play it I think the mechanics could easily be adapted to exploring an infested space station, a sort of more random Space Hulk type game.
this looked like it was fun.
ReplyDeletecould do a plague zombie versus space marines on a hulk floating in space. that would be fun, like an story out of the Horus Heresy.
It was fun, and the plague zombies idea sounds great. I think the Marines might need to be a bit more powerful than the survivors in Zombies!!!, though I guess in the original Space Hulk game they were pretty vulnerable to the 'stealers.
