Mall of Horror

[ClaroPaulo]

This is an old out of print game but I was wondering if anyone has it and willing to shed light as to how it plays (or better yet willing to let go of it )

Earl is the only one I know with a copy and as far as I can tell he isn't willing to let it go

Basically you try to fight/run away from zombies. The thing is each area of the mall is limited in space and you can vote out other players to be kicked out of the room to face the zombies by their lonesome. This adds a decidedly mean streak in the game

Yeah, this game is about outwitting the other players while keeping your "team members" safe. Due to the voting mechanism, player interaction is heavy. There are also Item and Ability Cards that can make a difference when one stays to search the truck in the Mall Parking Lot, but its very risky to do that. However, being Security Officer lets you know where the Zombies will be, so that can assist.

This is really a game that needs to be RPed a little so playing with quiet folk is contra-indicated. Likewise, playing with people prone to ally against you will also be a bit annoying.

You can also buy the game from: http://www.lautapelit.fi/tpl_site_01.asp?lang=3&sua=1&tk=13038994&q=y&s=38

They still stock the game but its a bit expensive. The only other ways would be to wait for it on E-Bay or offer Earl a deal he can't refuse.

Calling on Earl! Hahaha

I'm usually the target in games like these. My gf especially picks on me

For negotiation/voting games, I think this is one of if not the best. It's has never failed to entertain players both newbies and vets alike.


I am willing to host a game at the OGM if anyone is interested.

As for the offer I can't refuse, I can't think of one yet.

I've played many "zombie" games and they all bore the RPG-er out of me. If you want a micro scenario, MoH is THE game, for macro its ZS.

And there you have it from the man himself. I personally prefer LNOE uber alles, as they say in matters of taste there can be no dispute.
