Last Night On Earth

Played an awesome zombie boardgame a few times over the past few weeks. The game pits 4 survivors against a zombie hoard. In the simple scenario, 2 players play 2 heros each and 1 player plays the zombie hoard and the heros must kill 15 zombies before sun up. Sun up occurs after each side gets 15 turns, so each game only lasts about an hour or so. The standard game can be played by up to 6 players with multiple players playing heros and multiple players controlling different colors of zombies (green, brown and red).

The basic gist of the game is as follows:

When night begins to fall on the sleepy town of Woodinvale, the shadows and fog rolling in bring with them more than just a chill shiver. A living nightmare erupts as the once peaceful community is overrun with the restless dead…scratching and clawing their way to the surface with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Now only a handful of unlikely Heroes are left, banding together to fight for their very lives. On a night that never ends, the only thing worse than death… is becoming infected.

Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game is a fast-paced game of brain-eating Zombies, small town Heroes, and horror movie action. Players take on the role of either the Heroes, working together to make it through the night; or the Zombies, unending waves of undead spreading over the town like a plague. Featuring a modular board, eight Heroes to choose from, and several different Scenarios to play that drastically change the game, Last Night on Earth is designed to create a cinematic feel as the story and game unfolds.

So put down that popcorn, grab your shotgun, and hide your brain; the Zombies are coming and this could be your Last Night on Earth!

This past weekend, Poppinfresh, Irish and me played some of the more advanced scenarios of the game including "Save the Townsfolk" and "Get Out Of Dodge". There are several different scenarios included in the game and the expansion pack and an unlimited number of additional scenarios created by gamers and available of the game's fan site in the Variants section.

Now, I'm a zombie nut, so I am very biased, but I think that this is the best boardgame that I've ever played. It just has unlimited ways to enjoy the game. I just ordered a copy for myself with the expansion pack. When the game comes in, I would love to host a LNOE party and let those interested form their own opinion. Hell, I'd love to get a huge game going using most of the heros and 6 zombie players (2 for each color -I ordered extra zombie pieces!).

Let me know if you are interested by email and we'll try to get a day scheduled to play!
