I update this blog almost every day. It could be about anything: politics & current events, religion, work, geek-related materials. Sometimes I just post random thoughts.

Last Night on Earth

Last night, I played a game for a second time. The game is called Last Night on Earth and I have enjoyed the game both times that I have played. The premise of the game is pretty simple. One group people (4-5) play the roles of the heroes. One or two other people play the role of zombies. A scenario is picked and the heroes try to fulfill the scenario while killing off a bunch of zombies. the zombies try to thwart these efforts.

The heroes fulfill many zombie movie archetypes:
  • high school quarterback
  • town sheriff
  • priest
  • track star
  • nurse
  • school cook
Zombie and hero players both can draw and play event cards which modify actions, affect the entire board or only affect one person. Heroes can hold on to item cards that they can use to fight or search (chainsaw, flashlight, baseball bat. etc.).

It is a turn-based game and the action goes quickly. A game only takes between 60-90 minutes I encourage you to check it out!

Today's picture is the sign for Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Meals in Wisconsin Dells. This all you can eat buffet is no no joke for breakfast. You get donuts, eggs, ham, sausage, pancakes and hash browns...as much as you want. It's a solid foundation for all your sightseeing needs ;).
