Zombies!!!

So in the zombies game we played you get a game piece. The game piece is a guy holding a shotgun. They come in different colors like black, red, green, etc. You place your person on the town square map tile. That's the first development of the game. At the beginning of each turn you have to place down another map tile. Some tiles have buildings in which you put zombies on and life tokens and bullet tokens. You start out with three hearts and bullets. The order of operations of your turn goes something like this. 1. place a map tile 2. combat any zombies on your space 3. draw up to three event cards if you have less than three 4. make a movement roll 5. make a zombie movement roll 6. discard one card if you wish. Then after that the game moves clockwise around the table. You may use a card at any time during the game to help yourself or hurt someone else. You may only use one a round. So when the beginning of your turn comes, then you can use another one. When combating a zombie, you have to roll a 4, 5, or 6 to beat it. If you roll a 1, 2, or 3 then you can either use a bullets to boost your roll or choose to loose a heart and try to beat it again. If and when you kill a zombie, it becomes yours. You must combat a zombie if you move into one during the movement phase. If you lose all your lives then you lose half of your zombies rounded down and you move back to the town center and get 3 hearts and 3 bullets like in the beginning. The goal of the game is to either get to the center of the helipad map piece, or to collect 25 zombies. The helipad is placed at the bottom of the map tile deck. There are also expansions to this game and different versions. It is a super fun game and we all just love it. So have fun if you decide to play Zombies!!!
