New Print Run of ‘Dawn of the Zeds’ Devours Kickstarter Goal in Two Hours

One of my favorite games, designed by my good buddy Hermann Luttmann, is returning to print from Victory Point Games. That’s right, once again you’ll be able to get your hands on a copy of one of the best zombie titles out there, Dawn of the Zeds Third Edition. The Kickstarter project funded in less than 120 minutes on Thursday and not only can you reserve a copy of the core game but three new expansion booster packs are available too. Score the game itself for a $69.00 pledge, the game and expansions for $79.00, or (if you’re like me and already own the game) snag the expansions at the $19.00 pledge level.

From VPG:

The Zeds are back and hungrier than ever! Be afraid. Be very, very afraid….

Back for another bite is this reprint campaign for Dawn of the Zeds: Third Edition, and the undead are just drooling to meet you. Arm yourself with a weapon or three, grab plenty of supplies, and go, guns blazing, into the chaos!

New to Dawn of the Zeds: Third Edition are three fantastic, tension-packed Expansion Packs to aid you in your fight against the unrelenting horde of Zeds!

NOTE: The reprint of Dawn of the Zeds: Third Edition includes all original gameplay stretch goals except for No Brains Mode (which can be downloaded for free here!). There are no stretch goals for the expansions, as we decided to include everything from the very beginning!

Things are far from good in Farmingdale. Some kind of virus or poison is turning ordinary people into vicious, zombie-like killers. You must lead citizens and emerging heroes to halt the Zeds’ advances by (re)killing them, attempt to coordinate the discovery of a cure, and preserve as much of the area and as many of its inhabitants as possible. There’s no time to lose…

Dawn of the Zeds: Third Edition is a cooperative States of Siege board game for 1-5 players that plays in 90-120 minutes. Your heroes must defend Farmingdale and its five outlying villages from the encroaching horrors. These heroes are supported by civilians (some armed, some heroic) and what little outside help is forthcoming. You must prevent the Zeds incursion from reaching the town center or causing so much chaos around Farmingdale that the government abandons it (and you)!There’s a whole world to experience for players new to the apocalyptic city of Farmingdale. For players who have experienced Dawn of the Zeds in previous editions, there are plenty of new things to discover as well.
