Fluxx is the perfect game to leave in your car or the bag you normally carry around. I pull it out sometimes when waiting around at restaurants or at a bar. It’s perfect for killing some time and it makes waiting around for anything much more tolerable. What We Liked: One player is going to have a survivor bundled out of the building like terrified post through Hell's own letterbox. You'll argue. You'll plead. You'll use cards, trade cards, trade food, or even the precious plague vaccine tokens that are like cardboard gold. Bartering your options, your very hope, away. Players need to upgrade their squads and find new equipment but the more they search and make noise during the day, the more zombies will come out during the night. The main premise of Last Night on Earth is a zombie outbreak in small, rural town America. Every typical trope you can think of has been thrown into the game.

Dawn of the Zeds is a board game that keeps on giving. The deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the better the rewards. It’s a game that easily earns its spot on your shelf and keeps getting better every time it’s taken out to play. There’s so much in this box and once you get into it, you can start to mix and match to create your own perfect apocalypse. As you play more cards, new rules and end-game conditions will be in a constant state of flux (haha get it?). One of the other great things about Fluxx is the versatility of themes. Fluxx is one of those odd games that you either love or hate. Personally, I enjoy a game of Fluxx. It’s fairly simple to teach, and it’s a great way to pass the time.Originally developed to assist the designer's daughter with her maths, the game has fantastic learning potential for players. It offers number manipulation skills by stealth rather than in a more traditional overtly "educational" game setting. What was designed with educational intent has become a great game for gamers and their families, and suits more experienced groups as a good warm-up or end of night filler.

Zombicide does an incredible job of building tension and scaling the game along with the player count. Zombie spawns are determined by the highest player’s level, so hiding behind one super-tanky character isn’t the best strategy. The numbers and types of zombies will scale with the players’ strength.The Resident Evil 2 board game is a cooperative experience where players take on the classic roles of Leon Kenndey, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, or that one guy (Robert Kendo).
