About the game
Last Night on Earth pits a team of small-town heroes against a relentless horde of zombies (and one or two players controlling them) across a modular, movie-inspired board. Each hero has unique abilities, and the included scenarios range from simple survival to daring rescues and escapes. Cinematic photographic art, a hero and zombie card deck, and even an original soundtrack CD lean hard into B-movie horror atmosphere. Combat resolves quickly with dice and weapon cards, keeping the tension high across every scenario.
Hobbli's Notes
This is a genuinely cinematic horror experience at the table, leaning fully into zombie movie tropes with its photographic art and thematic event cards. The variable heroes, scenarios, and modular board configurations give it strong replay value for a team-based game. It does carry noticeably high downtime for players waiting on other heroes' turns, so it shines best with an engaged, patient group. A favorite for horror movie fans who want their game night to feel like a B-movie survival flick.
What we like
- Modular board and varied scenarios give strong long-term replayability.
- Cinematic, photographic art nails the zombie movie atmosphere.
- Unique hero abilities create asymmetric, team-based strategy.
- Dice-based combat keeps individual encounters fast to resolve.
Keep in mind
- High downtime between turns, especially with more players.
- Team-based structure can leave some players feeling less central to the action.
- Requires table space for the modular board and numerous components.
Who it's for
Great for horror and zombie movie fans aged 12+ playing in teams of 2-6 who enjoy scenario-based, thematic combat games.
