Shhh!!! keep quiet! they will hear you. The dead have become undead and you have to escape the City.
Zombies the dirctors cut is a simple and yet fun game from Twilight Creations Inc. Your job as one of the Un-undead or living as some like to call them, is simple stay alive long enough to get to the heli-pad and rescue or kill 25 Zombies. One small thing I should mention is that all the other players are trying to do the same and are more than happy to feed you to the Zombies if it means they will escape.
So what do we get in the box:
30 x map tiles
50 x event cards
6 x shotgun guys (humans)
100 x zombies
1 x rule book
+ life and ammo tokens.
The directors cut box has loads of room to put the ex[ansions in as well.
OK what do you have to do to play this game? Simple on each turn a player takes a City tile and places on the board he/she then add a number of zombies to the board. Movement is controlled by the roll of 1 dice, if you land on a square with a Zombie on you have to fight it. You then roll 1 dice to see how many Zombies you can move and seeing as how they are undead they only get to move 1 square on the board.
You also have event cards that can help you or hinder others.
Its hard to kill 25 Zombies and equally as hard to reach the Heli-pad and escape. That said if you do get killed, you get to have another go. Though you return to the town square and lose half of your Zombies in the process. This is a real simple game, one where you can be as nasty as you like in your pursuit of victory. There is a couple of downsides though, the game can take a long time to play, and if you don't like Zombies you may not understand the humour. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Its a great group game, its simple, its fun and it has loads of expansions. Those of you who know Zombie movies will want to escape the Mall, or fight a Military experiment thats gone wrong, you can even fight Zombie clowns if you can escape the funhouse that is.
Overall a good simple fun game 8/10.
