Week 1 - New Semster and Zombies!

Kicking it off for the winter semester, I have recently played the card game 'Zombie Fluxx' during my game design and production lecture, with 5 other players. We played the game for roughly an hour, and had a lot of fun. It was a slow start, but we managed to learn the game and distinguish between the different cards that were included in the box.

                After playing one round of the card game, I had come to like the fact that this game manages to build up a lot of suspense, as well as provide a lot of fun for all the players. It was a very diverse game, where the cards included keepers (which were necessary to complete goals), zombies, actions, rules, and goals. Both the rules and the goals of the game can change very quickly, as players can turn the tide of the game with a single turn.

                One of the few things that I did not like with this game was the fact that the game gets dragged on too long sometimes, especially with the rules and goals changing all the time. Also, much luck is needed in order for players to get the right cards, as the game’s basic rules did not allow us to draw and play enough cards at the beginning, without altering the rules. The game was also a bit confusing to learn to play at the beginning, but once we got the hang of it, it was pretty fun after all!

That's all for now, stay tuned for more...
