VPG Powerhouse Dawn of the Zeds Receives New Second Edition

As my favorite game of 2011, I’m pleased to announce an updated and spiffied up second edition of my pal Hermann Luttmann’s Dawn of the Zeds is being released by Victory Point Games. This new version doesn’t simply get the polished boxed treatment from VPG but also contains some new tweaks and twists which will be a welcome addition to those not yet familiar with the title as well as those who already own the original release. You can get your hands on DotZ 2.0 including new characters, more cards, more counters and all new artwork for $46.95.

From VPG:

Arising once again from the grave, from designer Hermann Luttmann and lavishly illustrated by Vinh Ha, arises Dawn of the Zeds Second Edition as you’ve never seen it before. In this States of Siege™ solitaire game of horror and survival, your strategies will be put to the test. The world has gone crazy – a deadly virus has turned ordinary people into vicious, zombie-like killers. The undead, nicknamed “Zeds,” are now converging on your corner of the world. You have been left to your own devices to stop them while the National Guard organizes a relief column and fights its way to you – but that could take days, or even weeks, before they arrive.

At the town of Farmingdale and its surrounding villages, you must coordinate its defenses. Regular citizens may emerge as heroes as you work to halt the Zeds’ advances by (re)killing them, discovering and implementing a cure to this vile scourge, and preserving the area and its inhabitants as much as possible. In addition to this madness, the crazy Doctor Marteuse has been working in the underground tunnels and unleashing his uber-deadly Super Zeds, a nasty bunch of beasts that give havoc a whole new name. Bring him to justice, destroy the infectious Zeds, and save your city from peril!

In a game that requires the utmost test of skill and nerve, will you survive long enough? Will you be able to fight hordes of Zeds while protecting the townspeople? Test your heroics and unearth Dawn of the Zeds, a game that will keep you on your toes!

What’s New in 2nd Edition:

– Contains a Tutorial Scenario for beginners, in addition to Classic and Walking Zeds Scenarios
– Never before seen cards and counters
– Three different game lengths to choose from
– Four new Heroes (Wright, Kingman, Wilson, and Carter)
– Updated artwork
– Bigger cards, counters, and map
