Oh lord, kill me now! If I was the only one who knew what I was up to that would be a vast improvement from the first game where no one knew what anyone was up to, even themselves.
Seriously, if I could edit my microbadge to read "loves all games, EXCEPT Zombietown", I would.

I'd suggest trying it with other players. The primary problem we found was that the rules were apparently designed with the assumption that people would just sit in their houses, hole up, and kill zombies. But the game's design clearly rewards an entirely different strategy of grabbing as many houses and cards as you can. This mostly leads to running out of cards and bullets far too quickly.
And I'm betting when you've got actual opponents with different plans than your own, you'll suddenly find the rules on things like zombie movement less clearcut than you thought.

My group has proved that Zombietown is very much not for everyone, but i really like it, most likely because of the large decision tree. I've been looking forward to the expansion for months. It's definitely a *strategy* zombie game, which i'm not surprised is not what some people want in a zombie game.

Well, I love strategy games. I wasn't expecting (or all that interested in) a 'light zombie game'. Still hated it, as did all the rest of our group. But, de gustibus non est disputatum.

moon, you KNOW i love zombie stuff, but i have to agree that i found zombietown lacking...
i love the concept, and i know theres a good game in there somewhere, but the rules just dont address the issues that can arise in the game, and quite frankly i have found the designers responses to people's questions about game rules clarification to be rude, and honestly just "sucky"...

If you guys hate Zombietown so much why do you keep posting to the forums of this game and spoiling in for those who DO think Zombietown is a good game? I don't like Cluedo, but it doesn't mean I'm going to go onto its forums and bad mouth the game and its creators... I just stay clear of it. Fair enough if you review it and justify yourself properly, that's your call. I'm looking forward to the new expansion, as is everyone in our game group and I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones. You make it out like its the worst game in the world, its not.
