Here's an idea that I've been thinking about during this lockdown period. Essentially, it's turning a mobile phone game into a simple, repeatable table top game. The theory behind my madness is documented here - https://nozzawargaming.blogspot.com/2020/04/a-moment-of-madness-turning-mobile-game.html.

Having planned the game structure, I then put it into action this weekend. So confined to home due to the lockdown, I managed to play a solo game. As it was a sunny day, I played on the patio table, so the pictures are a bit brighter than normal!

Three survivors against some zombies controlled by dice.

Had a second solo game this weekend gone.

This time around, Dwayne and a couple of survivors have been tasked with securing a potential new supply area. All they have to do is secure the gates to stop zombies from entering. Sounds easy! Full details here - https://nozzawargaming.blogspot.com/2020/04/solo-zombie-game-2-shut-gate.html



On paper, these games appear easy. However, dice have different ideas.

Enjoy!

Really cool game and right cool idea. Hope your survivors do better in the future.
I should be painting right now.

Fantastic! I was just tinkering with an idea and was looking for inspiration and some tips. Lo and behold, found this which is exactly what I was looking for  :D.

Having used FfoL for some games down at the club, this is the ticket! I am planning on making it a small participation game for 2-4 players so might tweak your rules a little but probably only minor things.
The most important thing in the hobby is that you're having FUN! Doesn't matter if you win or lose.
