Product Description

When night begins to fall on the sleepy town of Woodinvale, the shadows and fog rolling in bring with them more than just a chill shiver. A living nightmare erupts as the once peaceful community is overrun with the restless deadýscratching and clawing their way to the surface with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Now only a handful of unlikely Heroes are left, banding together to fight for their very lives. On a night that never ends, the only thing worse than deathý is becoming infected. Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game is a fast-paced game of brain-eating Zombies, small town Heroes, and horror movie action. Players take on the role of either the Heroes, working together to make it through the night; or the Zombies, unending waves of undead spreading over the town like a plague. Featuring a modular board, eight Heroes to choose from, and several different Scenarios to play that drastically change the game, Last Night on Earth is designed to create a cinematic feel as the story and game unfolds. So put down that popcorn, grab your shotgun, and hide your brain; the Zombies are coming and this could be your Last Night on Earth!

Best of the Zombie Board Games
I am a huge Zombie fan and usually keep up to date with all the latest and greatest zombie games that come out. I must have had a lapse though becasue this game snuck up on me. It had been released for several weeks before I even found out about it. I have to say, what a surprise.
The game is bursting with theme. The great bits, artwork, and photos all contribute to placing you in the mind of being part of the zombie movie. Players get to play as either Zombies or Humans. The game manages to create a great deal of tension for the humans by forcing them to get inside buildings and spend an entire turn just to have a chance to find something useful(Crowbar, Baseball Bat, Chainsaw, etc.) These turns spent searching for something give the very slow moving zombies the chance to build their numbers and shamble their way towards our heroes. This helps to build the feeling of being crept up on by an army of the undead. Good Stuff. The game is also pretty much infinitely expandable and customizeable. I could go out and buy a big pice of 1" grid poster board and draw up my own shopping mall and recreate Dawn of the dead if I wanted. I can't wait to see what else these guys come up with.
One side note, there are advanced rules in the book for using gasoline to "douse a square" and then use another item(lighter, flare gun, etc) to set the square on fire killing everything in it with the chance of killing everything in the adjacent squares. When I read this rule in the book I thought 'Oh that's cute' but didn't think you would realistically get the chance to pull it off very often in a game. To my delight I was able to do this twice in my first game and giggled like a little kid at Christmas each time it worked. There is nothing like wiping out three zombies at one time by drenching them in gasoline and shooting a flare gun at them. Good times, good times.

The best zombie game on the market today!!!
I recently bought this game, then sat down and read the rules. There are two types of rules basic and advanced. The rules are easy to understand and in no time you will be playing this great game. The game comes with many different scenerios that willl keep the game fresh and exciting. For example there is one scenerio that is called "defend the manor." Where the heroes have to survive the night and at the same time keep the zombies from overtaking the manor. If you are a fan of zombie movies then this game is for you. I have to admit that it was one of the best board games that I have played in my life.

Excellent Game
This game is awesome. I would highly recommend it to people who appreciate more unique or obscure boardgames. Although the game starts out a little slow, it inevitably builds to a crescendo of energy as the hero players fight against all odds to defeat the zombie hordes. This is a game that, like few others, is a total blast to play regardless of whether your side wins or loses, simply because you never quite know what to expect next. Of the two advanced scenarios we've played, both have been extremely intense, exciting, and challenging, which is always something I look for in a good board game. Flying Frog is a relatively new company and they do a good job of providing web content and support for their games, I hope they continue to create games of this caliber for many years to come.

I think the ultimate strength of this game is that it provides the entire board gaming experience without completely monopolizing your day/afternoon/evening. Consequently it's a lot easier for me to get my friends to play this than to agree to a 4+ hour game of Arkham Horror (which is also an exceptional game).

If you're contemplating getting Last Night on Earth from these reviews, hesitate no longer: it will not disappoint!
