All Malls are Horrible; Monroeville's More Than Others

Okay, so we can't have an official Monopoly of the Living Dead. (But we can have a great idea for the box cover art.) But apparently we can have a board game based in a mall where there are zombies to contend with. So it will have to suffice for the moment. (The humans are the ones who screw it up every time anyway.)

ALBOTAS points out some verbiage from the box:

In Mall Of Horror, each player takes control of three characters: a blonde, a bad boy and a brute, trapped in a mall invaded by hundreds of hungry zombies. There is only one way to survive: find a temporary safety in areas where the zombies aren’t yet, and forget about values such as solidarity and humanity. Better them than you!

Indeed. Looks like a hoot. And you know us: if it's undead and bleeds, it leads. Normally we'd send you to Amazon to buy it, but we can't in good conscience when the Funagain site ALBOTAS links to has it for $7 or so cheaper. The game is apparently from France and translated into English by the US subisidiary of ASMODEE Editions.

Thanks to PrcsMmnts for the headsup.

Monopoly of the Living Dead

Monopoly of the Living Dead

Because we can't have a Monopoly set that's based on the films of George Romero, and because people seemed to enjoy the concept of Zombie Munchkin, we've decided to come up with a set of house rules that incorporates our favorite bits about zombies into our favorite board game that concerns grinding your friends into financial oblivion.

These rules are pretty basic...

Free Idea: Survival Horror Ad Campaign

Just like before--sometimes I have ideas that I can't do a thing with. So rather than let them fester in my cranium, I have decided to release them into the wild. And there's not much wilder than here among you, my caffeinated friends.

So. Here we go.

I came up with the concept first and then tried to find the video game to apply it to. I went with Silent Hill V. Now, if that doesn't work for you, then apply it to whatever survival horror game you wish.
