New zombie boardgame "Last Night on Earth"

[MoonSylver]

This looks utterly FANTASTIC. If the gameplay matches the art & components this will be the best zombie boardgame EVER! Check out the official site HERE: http://www.flyingfrog.net/lastnightonearth/ Get a look at the components HERE: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/29368 So far word has it they're hoping to have it out in time for Halloween at a SRP of &49.99. Looks like the fig's might be same scale as "Zombies" & "Zombietown", which would be a bonus.

arts nice, but thats just art, from the miniscule shot of the game itself it looks like just about any other zombies boardgame, of which there are now many, and i dont see how this ones gonna stadn out from the crowd.

True, component wise it does look very simular to others out there, but as I said, I'm hoping the GAMEPLAY actually matches the level of quality of the artwork. The one thing that has been lacking in a lot of zombie games is a sence of "realism", the ability to sort of play a zombie movie in game terms. I like "Zombies!!!" & "Zombietown" both, but they're a little abstract (especially the latter) "Zombie Plague" (a free print n' play) HAD been about the closest in terms of what I described above. There was another freebie, (now out of circulation as it too is going to see professional distribution), "Dead of Night" that was even closer. There's a good mini's game out there: "All Things Zombie". But I'm hoping this one will be the one to top 'em all. As you said, there are many out ther now, but why are they still coming? Because no one of them has scratched the itch in just the right way IMO.

For those interested, the official site of the game is now up & running. Word has it that it should start trickling through distribution sometime in September, & will also be available throught the website. Can't wait!!!!
