Whee, even more! With a Spice Channel reference, to boot. You rock, CeePhour! Hope you don't mind if I post a few questions/corrections. I know how annoying it is when jackdaws just show up to post corrections without so much as a "thanks", but I offer these in the spirit of support! EDIT: Unless I'm mistaken, at 8:54, you weren't eligible to hop on the motorcycle with the Trucker on her first turn, because there was still a zombie in the Parking Deck. As per page 10, sadly, you can't interact with tokens or use a room ability like Motorcyle unless all three rooms of a store are cleared first. EDIT 2: I might be wrong about this, but isn't the Courtyard just the center card, including the four surrounding spaces? It's my understanding -- and this might have been errata'ed or FAQ'ed or just plain wrong, so please correct me if I'm wrong -- that you don't need to step into the center square to deliver tokens and supplies and so forth. [And I just verified that the FAQ indicates I'm incorrect, which gets back to Gamelyn's rules writing. Ugh.] EDIT 3: Trucker overrun at 36:28 without taking damage. Which could have helped you depending on which way her Brawling Betty check went! Fun finale! I think my EDIT 2 rule would actually make the game even easier for you, although you usually want to step into that center space for the heal ability anyway. But I'm pretty sure you're adding an extra point of unnecessary movement when you step into the center and you didn't need to. At least that's my read from the rules as written. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know. [I am wrong!]
Good eye! I love corrections, it makes us all better players. I just wish I made less mistakes :) You're exactly right, using the motorcycle was not possible thanks to the zombie in the Store (Parking Deck Z). A legal move would have been to take her 3rd action to Move to the zombie, kill it, then use the Overkill we rolled to move to the motorcycle, getting 3 (for a total of 6) more moves. The Courtyard card one is a little weird, the entire card is referred to as "the courtyard" but it seems the intent is "the center room of". One of those things a word or two in the rule book would have made perfectly clear. Good catch, the Trucker was overrun here in Crafts & Colors! She would have rolled for her special ability and possibly killed the zombie and taken 0 damage, or, failed the roll, take 1 damage, leaving her at 5 damage, 7 bullets. Thankfully she didn't take any more damage before the end of the game.
I find this to be a a ton of completely absurd fun, I hope you do too. "I throw a grenade into the electronic store, killing every zombie in the place, I dive through a hole in the wall into the parking garage, smash a zombie in the face with a barbed baseball bat, hop on a motorcycle that I drive through the mall to the department store, kill two zombies with a submachine gun I found in a supply crate I used earlier to build up a barricade in center of the mall, then I lucked out and found a part of the cure to the worldwide zombie outbreak in the game store..." lol
I have a rough idea, but probably couldn't narrow down exactly which ones I printed. The X's and O's are from some random person's printable tic tac toe files, the hexagons were just searching for "hexagon stl", the /!\ markers I believe are from a collection of Gaslands tokens, and I have a blue/silver shield I use occasionally that to save my life I can't remember where I found the file to print it, but it was definitely free and not part of a collection. I likely sourced everything from printables.com, thingiverse.com, and/or searched them up on yeggi.com. Found the shield token: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5063063 edit 2: The Gaslands hazard token is this one cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/gaslands-hazard-token I really like this one a lot, and so you've inspired me to print some more! I now have 6 different colors to choose from :)
Funny you mention this, as this is one I had wrong the entire time I have owned this game until this very playthrough! I had assumed you need all four. You don't! YOU ONLY NEED 3! Wooo! Take a look at the graphic of the card at 0:02:15, bottom right hand corner - "Escort at least 3 Squads into the Courtyard."

And you just made me break open my copy that I haven’t played in four years. Thanks for refreshing me on the game!
I bet it has been about four years for me as well. Still a blast and I'm convinced the rules are pretty straightforward for the most part.
I bought this game after watching your 3 videos on this. Thanks and I love it
I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's ridiculous fun.
You just made me add a zombie game to my wish list. I don’t like the zombie theme, but this looks like fun! Thanks for the playthrough.

Brw, love your markers. Do you know where you got them from? Can”t seem to find anything like them online.

Great job, lots of stuff going in in this round but I think you missed escorting the last army token right?
