Weekly Trash - Last Night On Earth: The Zombie Game

Beyond the photo art, I don't think LNOE if filled with goofy "nerd humor." Yes all the characters are B-horror stereotypes, and the photos represent that, but beyond that, what's goofy? It's not like all of the cards are full of lame puns and bad jokes.

As for game play, no it's not an epic game like Twilight Imperium, Descent or Arkham Horror. It's simple and plays through in about an hour. Just the other week I played it with one of my Descent buddies and our wives and it turned out great.

I played this game once. I had fun. I would play it again.

Their new game, A Touch of Evil, is a little better for older players, but I think it is like stepping from the 9-12 age of LNOE to the 13-15 age. A good game, quick, and fun; however, it really feels like Arkham Lite. Perhaps Flying Frog will continue to make games that are a leaping off point for young ATers -- nothing wrong with that.

These and other comments in this thread reminded me of "serious" Wargamers describing Heroscape which is one of my favourite games. I think I'm gonna love LNoE when I finally get my hands on it. Perhaps I am destined to be a forever young ATer.

Nothin' wrong with that. Not one thing.

LNOE is pretty well-done light-hearted fun. Yes, zombies are done to death these days--how far down does it have to be when Lock-n-Load is bringing us a zombie game? That's barely a half-step away from MMP giving us Film History ASL #1--"Pittsburgh Exurb: Zombie Cabin Assault!" And, yea, it's absolutely a stoner game, no two ways about it. But, unless someone adapts AH's Gunslinger to a Zombie-crawl--which I actually think has been done, though I can't find the link I had for the files at the moment--I don't see how there can ever be such a thing as a "meaty zombie game for adults."

Quick Update:

Bought it, played it, LOVE it.

Brraaiiinnnnssss.........

I just don't get why people like this game.

-- Not nearly enough zombies to kill.

-- Too much standing around.

-- Your stuff breaks too much.

For theme, I'll go RPG any day. Fine looking though -- they spent some time on the look, and it shows.

Sag.

Probably the best light modern AT game there is. I prefer it over Nexus Ops.

I agree it's one of the best light AT games. It's more interesting to people with a passing interest in games than Nexus Ops.
