So, this past weekend I got together with some friends and we did our gift exchange. I got some nice stuff, too. I got to play with one of the things I got a couple of days ago: the Growing Hunger expansion pack for Last Night on Earth. It’s a very cool expansion pack; there are new heroes, new scenarios, new cards for both sides, and a bunch of new optional rules that you can add to the game if you want to.

We played a scenario called Plague Carriers. In that scenario, the zombie player has control of plague carrier zombies, which are tougher and automatically turn heroes into zombies when they kill them, but they can only move when heroes get close to them. The heroes have to kill all seven of them before sundown, or they lose. It was a very tense and exciting game. Early on I got a lot of great stuff; chainsaws, dynamite, shotguns, and other great weapons, as well as some nice first aid, and I killed three of the plague carriers pretty quickly. It looked like things were going my way, but my opponent was quietly stockpiling zombies in one corner of the board, where three of the plague carriers were. He then proceeded to pin me in the church for three or four rounds, which made me act a little desperately, especially since he managed to kill off two of my heroes (though they automatically replenish in this scenario). I made a dash for the last three plague carriers and managed to kill one of them, but lost another hero in the process. My newly spawned hero then went up to draw the last two carriers out so that I could blast them both with dynamite, but my plan backfired as the two plague carriers overwhelmed poor Sally and dragged her to her death. Game over, zombies win by killing off four heroes with 2 rounds left in the game.

At any rate, if anyone wants to see pictures of the event, my wife took some.
