Last Night on Earth Board Game

This is THE zombie board game. It has all the trappings of a great B-Movie, the design is superb. All the cards and art are photographic and very well suited. The miniatures are very well done (painters go get your brushes and have a ball with the making some nasty brain eating zombies).The rules are clear and generally simple. The game plays from 2 to 6 players (it works very well with any combination) and I would say this is one of the finest drinks and nachos games to spend an evening with a bunch of mates having a good laugh with.There are a few scenarios included for variety, you even get extra pieces and encouraged to invent your own scenarios. There are expansions already out and more on the way. Great game - if you like board games and zombie films - what are you waiting for?

There's not exactly a shortage of zombie games about the moment, but Last Night on Earth hails from a time before every other board game featured the living dead. The game is pretty much like stepping into a b-movie, complete with stereotypical characters like the Cheerleader, the Jock, Sheriff etc. One player controls the zombies who assault the heroes, the others play the human characters so you need at least two players - no solo play here.But unlike Zombicide and other zombie games, this isn't a run-and-gun game where you're mowing down zombies left right and centre. In fact, there will be fourteen zombies on the board at the most. The thing about LNOE which makes it a real challenge is that it's genuinely hard to kill a zombie until you've found yourself a half decent weapon and even then it's still a struggle. End up surrounded a horde of zombies and you're more or less up the creek, which seems more in like with Dawn of the Dead and so forth.In fact, LNOE plays like a real zombie movie, and gives you the opportunity for real character interaction. During one game, the Sheriff had the misfortune to be watching through a window, firing frantically save his son who ended up getting mauled by the undead. The cards - all of which feature photo art - also feature story events. Should you be lucky enough to hold the right card you, as the zombie player, can force a male and female hero into a clinch all the while the zombie horde close in on them.But is it fun? Definitely. It's a much deeper game than Zombicide, although my one criticism is that it's a bit short on scenarios though there have been some uploaded to the website. If you're looking for a game that is not only entertaining but genuinely involving - and where your fortunes can change at short notice - then Last Night on Earth is a must have.

I've bought this to initiate a few of my friends to board games and it worked fairly well : the rules aren't overly complicated and should be explained in five minutes tops and the game is simple enough to follow for newcomers to the hobby.As far as the game itself goes, it's enjoyable for sure (as long as you have at least 4-5 people) but I felt that some of the scenarios were far too basic for my tastes : straight-up zombie killing just doesn't feel as fun as surviving and/or working towards a common goal in my opinion. The content is of good quality, the box is sturdy and the miniatures are pretty good for plastic.Not the best board game on the shelf but still a good one.

I have played *Zombies!!!* Before and thought this might be somewhere along those lines, totally wrong! This game beats Zombies hands down, and has an excellent build -and artistic- quality to boot.Plenty of different characters included, excellent range of scenarioes, downloadable content via the game website and extra scenarioes provided, funny touches and great twists! The rulebook can be a little heavy going but if you jump in head first you soon get the hang of it.You get the chance to play zombies and heroes so theres a lot of variety, and advanced rules when you master the basic game! The models are fantastically crafted, real photographic art makes the game more enjoyable, the soundtrack is as cheesy as you like and overall, everything goes together to make an excellent zombie board game!We have played this many many times since ordering it and we will continue to - recommended for any zombie fans, or for anyone who wants to throw a spook night!

Its a great game but the plastic compartments piece inside is cracked. The actual box and contents are fine, so it wasn't damaged in delivery, but before being assembled :(

I bought this game after first playing flying frogs A Touch of Evil. As the other reviews have said the quality of the game cards and figures is first class. I have played the game 4 times now and found the game gets better each time, yes i am hooked. The really enjoyable part of the game is working as a team to survive the zombie onslaught, the game does play out like a zombie movie. The game is equally enjoyable playing as the zombie and hunting down the heroes. This game is worth every penny in quality and gameplay value, i am looking forward to buying the expansion sets.

This game is well worth the money spent on it. Me and my mates play this game regularly as it is very easy to pick up and play and very addictive also. The games generally take 2hours plus, which is not advertised on the box, but that might be because we take it quite seriously. With the basic rules you can play with anyone and with all the expansions, of which I have Growing Hunger and Timber Peak, there are endless ways to play and modifications to make to the game as you progress. There are also other add-ons that I don't have, yet! I would recommend this to anyone that is into board games. The only downside is that the rules are a little bit ambiguous and can be miss-read or miss-understood and certain rules you have to have a general agreement over as they are not all covered in the manual. However don't be put off by this, 99% of them are covered, and when you get into this game you won't want to put it away!
