Here's what I am already loving after just skimming over the basic rules--the zombies are just icing on the cake. The skirmish game is still your survivalist versus another team (or two or more). You pick a Leader--this can be a knight in shining armor, a thuggish bully, or a military guy. You then grow your group of survivalist by purchasing members who 'fit' with the leadership type you have selected. Weapons and skills factor into your decisions, too. After your group is gathered, you'll pick a base of operations that has its own pros and cons depending on whether you're looking for space to grow into or need more room for a larger starting team.

Really easy to learn and really easy to teach. You don't have to go rule searching in this game.

A nice simple rule set that still allows for really great interaction...on the board between the players and the zombies.
