So, 5 medicine cards will keep the fail from happening and 7 will gain us a Morale?

Some Numbers posted:Your leader has higher influence than mine. I figured 64 was going to be good enough to be the first player. I thought it was a comment on his pirate character... I don't have any medicine to contribute to the crisis, and I can't search this turn without spending a food token. I intend to keep Bev in the colony all game on zombie killing duty, so I'll probably have her pop a couple of zombies with her power and drop a barricade with the ones I rolled.

I can't help a huge amount with Crisis. I'm planning to keep Thomas around right now to weed out the Zombies and send Carla elsewhere to make use of her ability and to reduce the number of mouths.

This is going to be tough to complete. A very minimum of four food tokens are needed, but potentially up to 9, and on top of that at least 5 medicine cards. Both of my guys will go out looking for supplies when it comes round, we're going to need a lot of cards.

Just a few points to be aware of: - Some of the food cards in the other decks provide more than 1 food token when used. In particular, the school and hospital provide the most higher value food cards while some of the other locations have similar numbers of cards but of lower value - The way starvation works, it is not so bad to starve closer to the end of the scenario, but a really bad idea early on. If you can't feed your people, you don't spend any food (so you can save it for next round), but you gain a starvation token. After that, every subsequent turn in which you cannot feed your people (including the one in which you gained the starvation token), you lose one morale for each token you have. - There are a total of 10 food cards in the starter item deck, and in a 5 player game all but one of the starter item cards are dealt out. Since this is the first game for many people, I'm inclined to give this kind of information about the game that would become common knowledge after a number of playthroughs, but let me know if you would prefer I did not.

Wait, you lose Morale for Starvation every turn? I thought the way it worked was that if you gain a Starvation token, you then lose 1 morale for each token you have, but between gaining them, they just sit around.

I assume I'm going to start searching for food and medicine? I haven't played before -- how important is it to start killing zombies super early on?

Zombies appear in 3 ways: 1) At the end of the round, 1 zombie spawns per 2 survivors at the colony, and 1 zombie per 1 survivor at all other locations 2) Each noise token has a 50/50 chance of spawning a zombie 3) Certain crisis cards spawn zombies They do not spawn through any other means, and they have no effect until they overrun a location (i.e. more zombies spawn than there are spaces to place them). Use that information as you will!

Whoops. I hadn't read the rules correctly when selecting characters and didn't realize that lower scores are better. Which means I can't search this turn because of my crappy dice. So let's get killin' instead! Gray Beard move to School Gray Beard (1) build barricade Gray Beard (1) attack zombie Daniel move to Police Station Daniel (2) attack zombie Play 1 card into crisis Hopefully I did this right. I'll PM my crisis card momentarily.

There are no zombies at the school or police station, only at the colony. Given we haven't really started yet and the rules confusion, I'm okay if you want to swap your survivors. Here's an updated view of what's where:   Other players, feel free to preload your actions and/or crisis plays if you know what you want to do. Edit: 6s are always better than 1s, though there are quite a few cards and survivor abilities that let you manipulate dice. For this reason though, it's definitely an advantage to have at least one survivor who has a special action that works with lower dice.

I thought the numbers on the locations corresponded to the entrances to the colonies. Makes sense now. Um, then I'm not sure what I can even do with these dice. Stay in the colony and fight instead? That seems dangerous if someone gets exposed this early.

One of my survivors is built around getting out and searching, so I'll be doing that. Also, fewer people in the colony means fewer mouths to feed.

Check the rules in the OP for what you van do with low dice or no dice. This is going to be a search heavy task I think so everyone who can search may have to. Both my guys are better out the colony looking, so they will go out. Those who stay, we need to keep a count of so we can feed, and we may need barricades and the like rather than risk fighting zombies.

Barricading can be done with any result on the dice, so may be worth using some 1s to do that at the colony.

Also remember if you wish to use items which let you change your dice - for example, one of the starter items 'Junk' lets you reroll an unused dice. You can also request cards from other players during your turn, though if you do so they have to be played immediately.

What if we 'overfeed' this round, is the excess saved for the next round? If so, any objections to all food going in the middle? They can be used to change rolls but obviously need to make sure it doesn't starve us.

The only reason not to dump your food in the middle (apart from personal objectives of course) is that some of the crisis cards also require food, and if you've converted more than you need into tokens then you won't have it available for a crisis. I haven't received updated actions from WhiteHowler, so just waiting on that.

Okay, if I build a barricade at the colony, does it just go into the big area with all the NPC survivor guys, or do I have to choose an entrance? And if I fight at the colony, do I choose an entrance to fight at?
|

Aug 22, 2014 22:14

In both cases, you choose a specific colony entrance (1-6). In general, it makes sense both to place barricades and kill zombies at entrance 1 before entrance 2, 2 before 3 and so on due to the way zombies are placed.

So my Soldier can't kill multiple Zombies until there's more than one at an entrance?

#

Aug 22, 2014 22:18

No, you could still kill 2 with the Soldier, you would just need to specify which 2 you wished to kill. In short: 1) If at the colony, you can kill zombies at any entrance. They are all considered to be 'at your location'. You can choose which one/s you wish to kill if there is more than one. 2) If at another location, you can only kill zombies at your location unless you have items that say otherwise.

Do I have this right? Each search event is separate and generates noise tokens separately?
|

Aug 22, 2014 22:28

That's right. So you might search once, find what you want, and end that search. Then search again with the same character, not get what you want and choose to make noise once to draw a second card. If you then chose to keep this, it would have cost you two dice, and one noise token.

Yep, sorry for the confusion. I watched the Watch It Played video and it makes a bit more sense now. Daniel (1) build Barricade at Entrance 1 Daniel (1) build Barricade at Entrance 1 Gray Beard (2) attack zombie at Entrance 1 Play 1 card into crisis (Same card I already PM'ed you.)
