Zombies, Run! Board Game 12+

I just picked up the game and it's quite intriguing. The problem is it doesn't work with voiceover, and I always press a button without knowing what it does. Please make it accessible, and add more variety. Encountering different numbers of zombies, combat, and being able to collect different cards on the run would make the more exciting. Pretty cool dudes.

I so badly want to like this game. The physical component game play is alright, but the app itself needs so much more. Besides the bugs that allow you to run all over town with no story progression or get trapped in a location and be forced to restart, there are all sorts of ‘extra’ components included in the game that I want to use, but never find in the gameplay. If the app actually directed you through the story, the game would be better. Also, the game does not seem to sense your ability level. There is a bite component that looks awesome, but I’ve never used it. When you’ve played the game for hours without getting a bite, then the game should start throwing two and three zombies simultaneously at you, or you suddenly notice one at tracker space C. Running through a town should be harder AKA filled with more zombies than running through the woods. Making camp options should also be more story limited or paired with distances in the runs. I never run out of opportunity cards or even ration them. For a zombie game, it just doesn’t feel pressured at all.

I have been a fan of Zombies Run since for 6 years now and love the app but the board game has been a bit of a disappointment. I’ve tried to play through twice now and both times the app freezes in a new location with no options. Even after restarting I still can’t progress. Also, there are times that there is no clear motive of what my team is supposed to be doing so we end up running back and forth across town with no progression in the story. I hope they upgrade the game play because I want so badly to love this game.
