I just picked up Zombie Town (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O889VK?ie=UTF8&tag=flamesrising-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000O889VK) (and the Road Rage expansion) from Twilight Creations.

In Zombie Town, players dash around gathering supplies, rescuing survivors, and avoiding the living dead as they rise from the inconveniently plotted cemetary in the town square! But, fear not! Help is coming in ten days! The real question is... will you last that long?

This one had some good recommendations and it looks like a fun time. Now I just need to find a night to play with some friends. Between the snow, cold and pile of projects scheduling has been a mess.

Anyway, who has it? Who has played it?

I almost bought Zombietown, but my friends don't like the Zombies!!! boardgame too much, so I was wary of buying something that wouldn't get played. From what I can tell, Zombietown has some cool ideas, focusing on tension between the survivors as much as the impending zombie threat. And the idea of using a miniature calendar to represent the turn track is neat. On the other hand, the zombie movement seems like it might not be fun, especially in a two-player game. Maybe the Road Rage expansion helps make the game better. I look forward to reading your comments about it.

I had a lot of fun with the first game. I just discovered some great resources here:

Including some cheat sheets and a couple of handy FAQ files.
