After playing a rather long and boring game of Zombies!!! on Saturday night, I got to thinking about how I could make the quicker and more fun. The game on Saturday took over two-and-a-half hours to play out, and the last hour was bloody painful for all involved. It was damn boring doing the grind towards the helipad. I'd really like to re-work the game so that it can be easily played in under an hour (and preferably under forty-five minutes).
The other thing to consider is scenarios. I'd like to see a scenarion in which players race across a zombie-infested city; first one to get to the end wins. Or what if the players only had one life? Once they're dead, they're dead. Last one standing or first people to reach the helipad (or kill X number of zombies) wins. Or for something a bit more bizarre, what about something like a capture the flag scenario played out between two teams? There are zombies everywhere, and while you're fighting them, you're also trying to get through the city to steal your opponent's flag and return it to your base. I think some player versus player combat would be absolutely necessary in a scenario like that, but I think it could be fun. :D
