Hmmm... Using plates, you could actually have multiple teams of criers and
make the game a points like game. You get points for recruiting more criers
to "your team" and points for killing zombies.
Zombies could be just simple "chase closest non-zombie" things so then it
would be a race against the humans together as a team. The zombies would
just be another "player" in rotation that chase the humans. (fits with the
"Night of the Living Dead" theme where the zombies just shambled after the
closest human).
Game goes on until all zombies or humans are dead or X turns (daylight).
Evil Variation:
Or to make the game evil, on a player's turn, he can move one zombie for
each crier he has. You can use the move to clear away an area, or send
zombies after a particular player >-)
Bonus Prize Variation:
For every building, when _anyone_ first enters the building (skeptic, ally,
or crier) roll a d6, on a 1 or 2, there are d6 zombies already in the
building. On 3-4 there's a useful item like a torch or a dead deputy with 6
bullets or some suche.
This would make buildings a good thing to get into, but very dangerous too
:-) Just imagine the fun of allies trying to hide and triggering 6 more
zombies to pop up! bwaahahahahaha!
The ideas just keep coming... Great concept :-)
