    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I have it. It's...ok...ish....not bad for a licensed tie-in, but not very deep. Basic roll & move. Someone said "Talisman with Zombies". Pretty fair description. Good for light/non gamers or as a filler. Does have solo rules, & I have fun setting it up for quick 15 min sessions. Team or competitive rules & Humans vs Walkers rules are a plus as well.

    Word UP my homie!!!

    I like "Zombies!!!" (w/ house rules) even thought it's light & simple. "Zombie Plague" is a good one too. (Free print & play is a plus, plus lot's of fan content.) But LNOE is really the one zombie game to rule them all IMO. Tons of bits & expansions, customizable, adaptable, well designed, great production values.

    Did you see that the "Blood In The Forest" expansion is due this summer? (Adds woods & a logging camp + the usual amount of MORE STUFF.)

    Been having fun w/ "Zombie Survival" lately too for that "NOTLD/trying to hold the house" vibe.

    There's also a The Walking Dead: The Boardgame" based on the comic, which I hear is better than the TV one, but have not played, thus cannot confirm

    *EDIT* Whoops, forgot to mention the upcoming "Zombicide" debuting this week in Vegas at the GAMA trade show. It might give LNOE a serious run for its money. The components are GORGEOUS.
