 A great game for the right person July 23, 2010
William F. Leffert
I got back into playing board games when a friend brought a Risk board to the local coffee shop (and, subsequently, Risk Godstorm, which is also a blast). I enjoy games that take a while to play, and we were looking for something new. Long story short, I purchased this, and most certainly don't regret it.
First, the bad: The rules are poorly written, and the stock event cards and overall gameplay tend to make winning more a game of luck than skill when playing with smart players. With all the cards designed to hinder your opponents, it's amazing anybody ever wins. Reaching weapons is almost a futile endeavor, and no one has ever been able to win via the "kill 25 zombies" rule in the games I've played. Also, lose the dice that comes with it and get some real dice. Beyond that, inevitably, one person in the game always gets bored and either quits or does whatever they can to end the game quickly.
Now, the good, and how to counteract the bad.
The tile based system is fantastic, and the art is beautiful. I love the noir style. The game itself plays out fairly tense and exciting if you're paranoid enough and watch your opponents. If you like zombie materials, you'll love this game. There were so many aspects I thought would be counter-intuitive (people place tokens and zombies where they want? Trust me, it works out PERFECTLY) that ended up making gameplay a lot more amusing. The weapons, when you do attain them, are balanced and useful. Plus, the game allows you to be creative; you can focus on getting weapons and killing zombies (supposedly, but it's hard to do with all the anti-opponent event cards), or you can make a mad dash for the helipad when it pops up, trying to keep your opponents stuck back in the beginning. Just note that they'll be doing the same to you.
As far as handling the bad, AT LEAST pick up the 3.5 expansion for this, and build a new event deck with less anti-opponent cards. This will allow the gameplay to be much less frustrating, and can even speed up the game if that's your goal. Also, only put one of the seriously powerful cards ("We're screwed" and "Alternative Food Source" come to mind here) in the deck, rather than having both in. If you can, pick up the 2nd expansion, as well; it offers a second exit, more tiles, and more event cards allowing for an even better deck.
 Zombies!!! good family zombie-killing fun! June 28, 2010

I picked up a copy of Zombies!!! as an alternative to the more traditional boardgames for family game night. I've played this game with my grown family members, as well as, my three boys (aged 5-11) and we all love it. The instructions are simple enough that you grasp the game within one round and the gameplay is quick and fun enough to keep my sons' attention.
Awesome game May 30, 2010
Nick Kuebler
Real fun game, it can drag out for a long time though, especially on the 1st game, but after everyone knows the rules, and how the turn orders work the game flows smooth, some of the event cards are a tad confusing at times but you understand them sooner or later. Over all I would recommend this to any fan of zombies, survival horror, or post-apocalyptic games. 4 out of 5 stars
Damn Fun! May 4, 2010

This was probably one of the funnest board games around and it's different every time you play, especially since the maker's website has tons of rule variations to keep it fresh.
Zombies!! April 19, 2010
Gunjiman
A neat game that combines city building with fighting off zombie hoards. Multiple avenues for winning means that people can pursue various strategies. Best suited for groups of more than 2 people.
Obviously since this is a game about zombies, I didn't really see much of an 'educational' value in it. And I don't expect any durability problems, but there are lots of little items which could easily go missing. It's a great fun game though, combining strategy and a little bit of luck.
One minor caution note, there are a lot of small items in this game, so be careful around the little ones.
