When we were visiting family in Utah after dropping of child number 2 at college, one of my brothers-in-law introduced us to the game Zombies!!! by Twilight Creations. 
It’s the kind of game that you see played in obscure game shops where people who live in their mom’s basement sell pewter figures of elves and knights. Except – wait for it – it is both playable and fun for normal people who don’t even own a 20 sided die.
It is easy to learn, doesn’t take forever to play, you don’t have to look up anything in obscure tables of hit damage and it has this clever mechanic of building the game board through random draws that makes it different each time you play. To top it off, as you can see by the examples below, the art style is kind of Atomic Ranch retro-chic.
If you get the chance, and don’t mind spending/blowing/investing $30 on a board game, pick up Zombies!!! I think you’ll enjoy it. There are also many add-ons available, as well as packs of additional plastic zombies.
That does look pretty cool and judging by the coke can in the picture, that was a shot of real gameplay!
ReplyDeleteOh it was real...if I had not trimmed off Mom's concentrating/thinking/angry look, you would know for sure it was real and *very* serious.
ReplyDeleteWe've been wanting to buy it! I loved it. Man - too bad we can't play it with you guys before Sun night!
