For example; I am a big Magic; The Gathering geek, and ever since I got the base set, I've been hunting for cards that put zombie tokens into play en masse. Because now, I have the mass, especially since I bought a "bag o' zombies" to go with whatever. (I think I just got it 'cause it was a "bag o' zombies.") That's right, my fellow Magic nerds; Zombies are now *more* cooler. Lastly, as for the game itself, the basic rules are so simplistic that they practically scream for homebrew variations. I've been working on a chaos for Zombies!!! called "Scream Queen." Basically, every turn the SQ has some random effect happen (i.e. screams for no reason, trips for no reason, takes her high heels off, pulls a shotgun out of nowhere and blasts every nearby zombie, remembers she was holding the ammo, etc.) And at the beginning of every player rotation, the role of SQ is randomly assigned to a different player. Overall, this is a must-have little novelty, and I highly recommend it. Nothing says happy Halloween like a rousing game of zombies over some <a href="http://www.365halloween.com/bleedy-cake" rel="nofollow">bleedy cake</a>. <strong>356 Halloween Response:</strong> That's brilliant, Stephen! The ability to make your own variants is a big appeal for Zombies!!! (and obviously, many other CCGs, RPGs, etc.) and it's good to know that it can even help "zombify" games like Magic. Because honestly, what isn't improved with the addition of the undead? Thanks again for your input; send us some action photos if you get a chance! This game can be used to cross geeky borders, too. For example; I am a big Magic; The Gathering geek, and ever since I got the base set, I’ve been hunting for cards that put zombie tokens into play en masse. Because now, I have the mass, especially since I bought a “bag o’ zombies” to go with whatever.

Board Game is an awesome way to have some fun. It's always changing and it is never the same. I love creating chaos for other players! It is not a game for the kind hearted! You have to be malicious and think about yourself and yourself alone. This game rocks! Try the expansions (2, 3, 5,6). Also, try the 3.5 event card expansion (if you can find it); it adds a new twist and more fun to the game. Zombies!!! gets my vote for excellent and fun. The Zombies!!!

It is never the same experience when we play, and I love how flexible the rules are, and how we can change them to suit logic. It's a reeeeally good buy, I promise you this.
