Description

Not Another Zombie Train Deckbuilding Game (NAZTDG) puts you in the shoes of an entrepreneur trying to make a buck (rather... trying to save the world!) in a zombie-ridden future.

Story: In a world where chaos and zombies run rampant, you find yourself on the verge of a lucrative new enterprise. The government has issued a bounty on zombies, and luckily for you, you’ve had on-the-job training from the best in the zombie-killing business: your boss, Tallahassee!

Back before the zombie outbreak occurred, a mere few months ago, Tallahassee hunkered down in an old locomotive, reasoning that staying on the move in that iron horse was his ticket to ride to safety. One day, when riding the railways in his steam powered rocket, zombies began to converge on the tracks. He could have chosen to switch tracks, but instead he shoveled extra coal into the furnace, picked up speed and plowed right through those undead monstrosities. That is when Tallahassee claims to have seen a vision: a new Age of Steam. His idea was simple: find ways to lure zombies onto the tracks, then plow right through them. Yeah, buddy! That’s how he became a railroad tycoon.

Well, business for Ol' Tallahassee was booming, which is why he hired you in the first place. Now that you've learned what you can from him, you realize that the real money is in being your own boss. It’s time to leave Tallahassee behind and get started with your own buzz-saw-laden pushcart, lure some zombies and plow them down! But watch out for other would-be zombie-train killers looking to cut in on your territory! Prove you’re the best by killing the most zombies and securing the future of this promising new business for yourself!


Quick Game Overview:
Players build decks using powerful locomotives, attachments and lures to attract zombies to different locations. Your goal is to plow through the zombies to gain fortune and fame. The game ends when all the zombies are dead, at which point the entrepreneur with the most zombies wins!
Get out there and make some trains, lure some zombies, then plow your way to fame, glory, and riches!


Strategy:
Besides the strategy that comes with normal deckbuilders, you must also determine when and where to place zombies, when to plow through the zombies and when to mess with your opponents plans.
