I'd then ask how much did it cost, and what was the cost per hour, per gamer? I'd bet you'd find it wasn't very much at all. I worked out that during this review It worked out at 15p per hour per gamer. If your group got that into it I'd bet it was even lower for you. So seriously, it was probably money well spent. Even if ultimately the game is flawed.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-26857505083365116352012-11-02T16:53:54.655+00:002012-11-02T16:53:54.655+00:00Nice review, thanks!Nice review, thanks!Aeria_Glorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809554922625492683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-59665578734957169622012-11-02T13:27:56.098+00:002012-11-02T13:27:56.098+00:00Our gaming group initially loved Zombies! but we e...Our gaming group initially loved Zombies! but we eventually got burnt out on it. Once the helipad appears any player attempting to make a dash for it will inevitably get dogpiled with a bunch of penalty cards from the other players. This turns the endgame into a slow repetitive grind. <br /><br />Also the movement rules can be very frustrating if you're unlucky with your D6 roll to move. We incorporated a house rule I read where you roll a D6 and add your current life tokens for your movement.

As for the tokens, yeah sometimes they can be a pain, but we've learned to live with them, although the gem idea isn't a bad one.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-451693401226636762012-11-01T10:30:33.802+00:002012-11-01T10:30:33.802+00:00Some of the add-ons can actually be played as stan...Some of the add-ons can actually be played as standalone games.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-92058803121708159452012-11-01T10:29:43.788+00:002012-11-01T10:29:43.788+00:00it can be a good gateway product.

I got 1, 2 and 3, and a friend has Humans! for a "human vs Zombies" 12 player mayhem.<br /><br />The only thing i hate about zombies are the life and ammo tokens. so small and difficult to pick from tiles, i bought cheap small plastic "gems", in red and blue.Meldinovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647772232275050296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-71397596263657032172012-11-01T06:05:30.524+00:002012-11-01T06:05:30.524+00:00I have never played it!!!

It's less complex in terms of rules than things like Monopoly and Cluedo. Nope it's never going to do if you want that in-depth rule laden beast of a game, BUT if you want a quick blast with a zombie them I don't think there's much better.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-83592275943042569952012-10-31T19:38:46.623+00:002012-10-31T19:38:46.623+00:00I love this game - one of the best multi-player, s...I love this game - one of the best multi-player, stab-you-budddy-in-the-back game which anyone can play.

Personally I don't think you should ever play it with more than two of the expansions. And Zombies!!! 8 Jailbreak is best played as a stand alone product.<br /><br />I actually considered reviewing Humans!!! instead, but I couldn't find a copy of it in time and as I already had Zombies!!! I thought I'd go with that. But you are right Humans is a right hoot. :)Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-66044344888954687652012-10-31T18:32:46.681+00:002012-10-31T18:32:46.681+00:00Funnily enough I didn't really like Zombies!!!...Funnily enough I didn't really like Zombies!!! for some reason (I suspect playing with too many expansions for a first run and wanting something deeper), but Humans!!! was pretty awesome out of the box with marginal changes.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.com
