Last Night on Earth: The Zombie Game



"It's like Forrest Gump, with zombies!" - Grungebob, describing the game as Jenny ran across the board.

Ninthdoc infected me. Played it one night at the Ram. Haven't played it again at home yet, but it was a blast!

There's Doc Brody:



And of course, Jenny the farmer's daughter (with your's truly):



Any thoughts by anyone else who has played this?

This game is loads of fun. It's not as graphically violent as the Twilight Creations games. I bought it and can't wait to get my next game.

I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane.

I haven't yet played the game, but I am certainly looking forward to getting my decomposing little hands on the box!

Just about all the 'Scapers who have played the game have raved about the simple minded fun and theme that oozes from the set. And Flying Frog hope to release an expansion set sometime next year!

Regarding a review by other folks who have played and demoed the game, check out the BoardGameGeek page (if you haven't already). Check that out here: http://boardgamegeek.com/game/29368

Also of note, the Flying Frog folk were handing out exclusive game cards with alternate artwork! And I want them.

Threadjack, but JIM, I just noticed that you were wearing a .NET 'Hot Lava Death' shirt!

Representing old school! That's awesome!

Yeah, but nobody mentioned it (to me, at least) while I was there.

Oogiezone and I played a game last night, I was the heroes and we did the basic scenario, I got my butt handed to me in like 4 turns! I'm going to try again tonight...

In the basic scenario you have to kill 15 zombies in 15 turns! Its freakin' tough.

Niiiice picture Jim!
I had forgotten all about this game - even when during pre-GenCon days had talk of a Jenny the farmgirl. I had no clue who or what you Truthers were discussing.
Now I know! I'll definitely want to purchase this little horrorfest.
Did I mention that picture is just fabulous?

Nice. It looks like this game is based on a B-rated horror movie. Is that true?

Ya it has all of the obligatory ingredients. Relentless zombies, hapless protagonists, twists of fate, seemingly impossible objectives, tragic sacrifices, clever resourcefulness, guns, bombs!!! It is a blast and is cooperative for the heroes AND the zombie players.

That is a really fun game. I've played two games so far, and it's a blast.
