"Ready! Aim! . . . Scream!"
It is time to get out the shotgun again, shuck a few rounds, and blow away more members of the shambling undead, because the Zombies!!! are back. It has been a rough 12 months for one of last year's most popular boardgames. Within days of its release, the publisher of Zombies!!!, Journeyman Press, a division of the United States Playing Card Company, was closed down and the future of both Zombies!!! and the then-forthcoming eBay: The Card Game were left in limbo. Despite this setback, Zombies!!! remained in great demand by the gaming public and eventually -- in March of this year -- the designers managed to come to an agreement with their former employers to produce and sell expansions for the game through their new company, Twilight Creations, Inc.
With Zombies!!! once again available to the general public, and the 2001 Origins Award for "Best Graphic Presentation of a Board Game" under their belt, Twilight Creations, Inc. now has two expansion sets available for the game. The first of these is the Bag O' Zombies!, which is literally a whole bag full of 100 glow-in-the-dark zombies for $9.99. With these, players will never run out of zombies while playing the game, which was something of a problem in Zombies!!! The second of these is the much anticipated and delayed army/military base expansion set, Zombies!!! . . .
