And it was the find the townspeople scenario.

The gameplay was alright, and the reason I had as much fun playing as I did could definitely be attributed to the other folks around the board. Definitely better than Zombies! and I look forward to playing again.

As others have said (har har) - good, mindless fun.

This is one of the few games that I have completely painted. I haven't played it in years, but it's a good introduction to the zombie game genre. It's pretty light, and my main complaint is that most of the scenarios come down to searching through a deck of cards to find certain items. This can lead to wild swings in difficulty based on whether that one particular card was near the top or the bottom of the search deck. Speaking of those cards, they are some of the nicest cards I have ever seen in any game.

Players are largely bystanders.

It just didn't work for me. Last Night on Earth is a game that isn't going to provide you with a lot of opportunities to write the script of the story it tells.

It's very likely that if you're one of the heroes you will spend your time searching, and when you're not searching you're likely going to be moving from one place to another. Combat is an awkward affair that generally results in a push.

If you're running the zombies you move them one space and churn your cards.

The game is 95% driven by the story it paints, and that story is likely going to be well out of your control and the control of everyone else at the table. If you're comfortably watching the story play out in front of you, you'll likely enjoy the game. The bits are plush and the game certainly has its own look and feel. But that lack of player involvement was a showstopper for me.

Sag.
