"Last Night on Earth: The Zombie Game"

A new zombie board game coming out this fall from Flying Frog Productions:

LAST NIGHT ON EARTH!



Due out this fall, in time for Halloween. Will also be available for viewing at GenCon!

Not a whole lot known about the game just yet, but I figured I'd post about it here seeing as how we've a LOT of zombie fiends on this site.

For those folks not keeping track of this game over on BGG.com, some more preview images of game components were posted:





More seen here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/images/game/29368

I really hope this game plays decent. The components look great so far, and there looks to be room for expansions.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm hoping this will be demoed at GenCon.

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

The game will be shown at GenCon. I'm not sure if it will be demoed. Though I can't see why it wouldn't. All the components are finished, and they're aiming to release the game just two months after GC.

So help me, if this game IS demoed, someone needs to remember to take pictures and give their impressions about game play.

It looks very similar to Dead of Night. It will have to be something really special to top that one.

The artwork doesn't cut the mustard for me. Photo realism, too much camp acting & fancy dress costumes for my liking. A silhouette of a person facing a horde of zombies would suffice.

However it's gameplay that counts, and it has got me really interested.

Is there any chance that someone in the know can post a comparison and contrast of these three games:

Zombies
Zombie Town
Last Night on Earth

I know that Zombies and and Zombie Town are both produced by Twilight Creations, but I'm going to be generous with my benefits of doubts and assume that there is some true difference between the two games.

Anyone, Bueller?

It would need to be something special alright to top DoN.

I don't know, photo realism of the cowboy hat girl seems mighty FINE to me :banana:
