I'm not used to BGG, I'm there, but I don't really go through it a lot. How do I get the pdf, or purchase the pdf?

I believe everything you need to download for the game is near the bottom of the page, in the section called, "Files".

However, you can also download the complete game here:

You'll need to sign up quickly, but the download is free. However, note that the file size is 38mb! Obviously, the game is very graphics heavy, so the large file size is expected. But if you're on anything less than DSL... you may as well just leave the computer on and DL the file overnight. ;)

Thanks. I can't believe I couldn't figure that out.

I guess I'm a BGG Noob.

EDIT: I have to get a paypal account so I can pay .30 cents to download it? I'm not saying that is not a great deal, but I don't like buying stuff online and I don't really want to go through all that hassle.

Looks interesting. There seem to be more and more of these games coming out.

Twilight Creations has a new one named Zombietown:

If anything it will be a new source for cheap zombie figures for other games like Dead of Night. :lol:

Then how do I download it, the only thing I seem to be able to do is add it to my cart.

If you DL the files from BGG, you shouldn't have to worry about PayPal. However, for the WarGameDownloads.com, I didn't realize you needed to have a PayPal account as the file is listed as a free DL.

Or, you can just download the file, no hassles, at this website...

I'm looking forward to that game. Looks like a different zombie sculpt too! I love their 1/72nd scale zombie figs. You can find bags of 100 their zombies pretty cheap (6.99 or so) on game webstores.

The sculpt is new. They also have a new sculpt for the survivors and they are all supposed to be compatible with the Bag O Zombies, etc. Interchangeability is a good move by Twilight Creations.

At least with the fixed town, it seems like this game will stay on the table. We have had games of Zombies!! where the table could not contain the town. It was a rambling mess.

Thank you :D

Thank you :D
Sure thing. I should have just posted that right from the start and saved you the trouble of everything else. Sorry about that! Heh...

Agreed about the interchangeability of the figures. This is a nice little bonus, and you could easily go out and buy one of the aforementioned Bag o' Zombies to help bring a little bit of visual candy to the board with two different zombie sculpts... or three if you buy a Bag o' Babes.

That said, while I am a pretty huge fan of zombies, I can't say I'm overly excited about 'ZombieTown'. No, I haven't played it, so my current judgement is based on the small bits of information about game mechanics. But I was expecting something else. That's not to say the game looks to suck all around, as I'm sure 'ZombieTown' could be very fun. But I don't know... the game just seemed to lose its 'Woo-Hoo!' factor the more I learned about it. :|

I will reserve true judgement until I play a game. But I'm not going to rush out and buy it right when it hits the shelf, you know?

And don't forget to Download rulebook v2.0
Which is available here...

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dead_of_Night_Game/

The group is free to join. Meaning no waiting for account activation. And many questions that have arisen (due mainly to ZombieGod's thoroughness) have been answered by the game's creator.

[Miniature Geek]

I really like these rules. I hope I can get my roommate to play.

Thanks for this linkage ! :P
It lokks REALLY good.

This game blows zombie plague away. Currently playing via Cyberboard. One guy has made a 'slow' run to the shed trying to carry a can of gas. He's inside with loads of undead outside.

I went to help him but got my chainsaw snatched from me after it ran out of fuel.

The other player gave me a baseball bat & expected us to fend them off and re-barricade, but I've jumped out the window, bolted full speed across the lawn past a dozen zombies and started knocking them for 6!

These Zombies bite hard.

It's a crying shame no developer has picked this up. It costs a lot of ink to make, but beats Zombies!!! by miles.
