Free Boardgame Instructs On Art Of Zombie Ranching

Thanks to Invisible City for its newly posted, freely distributable and printable 'Zombie Rancher' boardgame, allowing prospective players to print out the game board and rules to this "post-zombie apocalypse game of entrepreneurism for two or four players." The object of this multiplayer game is "..to capture the finest, tastiest, and best-aged zombies and render them into juicy steaks and fillets", and the creator explains how a visit to a steakhouse helped him come up with the concept: "The ad copy of Texas Land and Cattle's menu brags about how their steaks are aged for two weeks to make them tenderer. This is because the bacteria in the meat pre-digests it a bit before you eat it... putting two and two together, a zombie steak could, ostensibly, be both tender (from being in a dead body) and hearty (from all that exercise.)"

Nearly as cheap...

...are Cheapass' offerings. No doubt, many here have enjoyed Dr. Lucky. My favorite failure card, for when you're about to kill your host, and someone blocks:

You Forget.

If you're really into zombies . . .

There is an interesting java applet that simulates zombies infecting a city of panicking people.

I'm impressed

Only one of the other posts isn't completely offtopic.

Anywho, if you're still hankering for heaping helping of free boardgames, Invisible City Press, home of Zombie Rancher, has plenty. If that's not enough for you, you can always print up a Piecepack or two.

If you're willing to spend a little money, James Ernest makes an unpleasantly large number of really pleasant games, most of which sell for less than $10.00. In fact, one of the best sells for $5.00, while my current favorite comes in at a paltry $7.50, with all the heavy-duty fun of your average German game.
