We got a late start and played 4 games of Last Night on Earth. The games go fast and there’s not a lot of downtime involved so it works out. First game was Escape In The Truck. It went down to the wire with the humans filling the tank of the truck, after having to drop off the gasoline and retreating so someone else could scoot in and fill the tank while yet another ran up with the keys. It was the last turn of the game with Sheriff Anderson after hiding in a building for the last few turns running up and jumping on just as Johnny peeled out leaving trenches in both yard and zombie with Sally and Jake in the cab.
Game two was again me as Zombie master and we played Destroy the Spawn Points. Zombies won overwhelmingly as sundown approached with the heroes way out of position to blow up even one spawn point although in their defense they did have enough materials to do it. Then Sally lost her revolver trying to clear a path and zombies came pouring out spawn points blocking Jake’s ability to move and it was all over.
Games three and four were more teams with two players playing Zombies and two playing Humans. Zombies obliterated the humans in both games mainly due to “This could be our last night on earth…” cards which nailed two of the humans in one square for not one but two turns both times which allowed the zombies to converge and consume. But hey at least they went out with a smile on their faces.
Next time I think I’ll try them out on Arkham Horror although it might not the best game for this group.
