Does this game feature Evans City, Pennsylvania?

That's where Romero filmed "Night of the Living Dead", so it's perfectly relevant to the game. I have family in Evans City. And I like to imagine that in an alternate universe, my granduncle Alfred who in real life is a WW2 veteran, fought the zombies when they rose in the 1960's.

It doesn't appear to be on there, no. cortexbomb went with Beaver Falls (nearby) instead. However, graveyard #2 seems to be close to Evans City, so maybe that's where the Zombies are coming from...

That was a miss on my part.

I included Monroeville because of Dawn of the Dead, but for some reason I missed the Evans City tie. Maybe in my initial draw I was doing what Darin suggested, putting the graveyard on the location to represent that. I think I was initially going to actually name the graveyards, but didn't end up doing it for whatever reason.

I might change this if I ever reprint it, as including Evans City is a slam dunk obvious choice in hindsight.

You know, it's funny, but I found a prototype line-drawing of the map, and I had included Evans City.

I think what happened is that I included it, and then forgot its significance, and therefore replaced it with the nearby and larger Beaver Falls.
