The Grinning Frog
Game Publishers
Okay, so I launched this on Kickstarter at the beginning of the December and I'm just getting around to sharing it on EnWorld now - four days before it ends on Kickstarter (10am Tuesday 7th Jan). Maybe in the rest of 2025 I can be a little sharper with sharing these things. Anyway...
Cowboys (and girls) vs Zombies... and solo play... worth a look, right?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thegrinningfrog/zilight-wild-west
In a nutshell the aim of the game is to survive a zombie apocalypse set in the wild west - specifically 1880, and you need to survive for 28 turns. Each turn sees you draw a day card which tells you the main event of the day. You then might draw further cards depending on your choices. Fight zombies, help people, find equipment and search locations. Historically accurate (minus the zombies).
You only need the rules, around 8d6 and a deck of regular playing cards to play the game - custom card decks are available (picture attached).
Lots of details on the campaign page (including pictures) and you can vote on the design of the final card sets for two of the new card decks.
This is the fifth Zilight solo play zombie game, the other four are Zilight original (Britain), Zilight Seattle, Zilight Dark Ages (Britain 666AD) and Zilight Egypt. Each has specific win conditions and their own twists on the game play.
Thanks for reading. Do check out the campaign page for the fuller details.
