I just started playing and have discovered that if you draw 3 or 4 zombies on the first hand then you are better off doing a shuffle and redraw. If you draw 5 zombies on the first hand you should go buy a lotto ticket.
Thanks for the playthroughs! Really helps seeing the designer run through the game. I did notice towards the end you used the machete without discarding a card? To clarify you discard a card in hand to activate the Kill power of the machete yes?
Hi! Jacob, if you have your weapon empty, you can only use it for discard? Could you add a new card backfrom for use it again? Or you cannot? Thanks for tour responds? From Spain 🙋🏻♂️
Try this mission using Ruth. I’m 0-20. And how are you shuffling? You mentioned that you “space out” the zombie cards so you dont draw a lot of them each turn. Thats kinda cheating! When I play this, I’m always drawing 2-3, sometimes 4 zombie cards, and its game-over way too quick. Ruth probably not the best character to use I suppose but i found this game relies on too much luck. Zombies flood the deck before I can get it built up. Not a fan of this at all.
He spaces them out prior to shuffling to make sure they don't stay clumped together. He still thoroughly shuffles after doing so, so it's not as if they are placed apart and kept that way in the draw pile.
why do you start with 5 zombies in the start deck instead of 4? The scenario's (also the updated scenario's on the Fryxgames site) say clearly "start with 4 zombie cards in each deck". (which means: 4 instead of 1-3, otherwise it would say "add" or "extra" or something like that). I know you are the designer so you know how the game works, obviously. Maybe I should put the question the other way around: if we are supposed to have 5 zombie cards in each deck, why does the scenario say "start with 4 zombie cards in each deck", without saying something like "add" or "extra" or whatever? The playthrough video's are a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to watch a playthrough video to only know the correct setup for a scenario, right?
@@atompaaayes. A couple of missions were updated to make them less impossible. I just got the game today and am 0-4 on this one so far (starting with 4 only).
Awesome tut. The Best Late to the Party. Thank you.

He says in Mission 1C that the rifle can be reloaded but most guns can not.

When he recorded the video it was "Start with 5 zombie cards.." as it shows on his scenario. So I guess the game was updated after recording?
