Requesting review of new game

Great feedback. I'm working on a story that is immersive, but is modular enough to fit all the scenarios listed. I only spent about 3 hours writing the initial rules down before I forgot them. I want to spend a little more time getting the intro and story developed.

Again, great feedback though. Thank you.

Another great comment. Here is my first crack at it:

Day 254 is a post-apocalyptic zombie/survival board game where players can choose to work together or against each other to secure limited resources in order to survive. This board game features a modular playing style that allows each game to be completely unique. Players are even encouraged to create and share their own unique versions of the game with the playing community.

Yep...I realize that is more than one sentence, but I don't like writing run on sentences; and I couldn't fit it all into one statement.

As I stated in a previous post, I'm also working on a back story for the game that will fit will all the scenarios in the rulebook. I'm hoping that the story will be immersive enough that it becomes part of the game as well. Maybe I'll tie in a couple special resource cards to the back story or something like that. Haven't quite figured that all out yet.

Good rewrite...But I was kind of thinking of going a different direction. Not sure if it's a good idea or not,but I (hopefully) wrote the game mechanics in a way that is a allows me do a couple different things.

I wanted the game to have zombies, cause who in this Walking Dead generation doesn't like Zombies, but I didn't really want the zombies to be the focus. I initially wanted the focus to be the breakdown of alliances and/or player's feeling the overwhelming need to battle each other (hopefully that doesn't cause friendships to be ruined like Monopoly).

In short, I wanted to make the lack of resources the focus, but still allow just a standard zombie-style gameplay if the players wished.

Does that make sense, or should I just write the game as a standard Us-vs-Zombie game? I know what I would rather, but it's more about what the players want in the long run.

Well put. And I wasn't implying that the sentence was changing the game structure. Mostly that post was for myself, as I'm still trying to turn the idea into something more palatable.

Yeah...It's an initial data dump at this point. I still haven't worked out how I'm going to align the game board yet. Other than trolling the forums I only spent about 3 hours building the initial rulebook.

But all the feedback helps. I'm going to sit down this weekend and flesh out a lot of the missing items, and make the mission and vision of the game more apparent.
