About the game
Much anticipated by the beleaguered residents of Farmingdale who were hoping for a glimpse of salvation, Dawn of the Zeds: The Director's Cut instead delivers all sorts of new evil, mayhem, and, yes, a small bit of relief for those Zeds players everywhere exhausted by the never-ending onslaught. This expansion to Dawn of the Zeds introduces new heroes, Event cards, Fate cards, and new game pieces that will intensify your Zed-killing experiences. The Director's Cut adds a nice balance of nastiness and helpfulness to the game; you will love (and hate) all of the new additions to it. This game is only available in clamshell packaging. Note: This game requires that you (or someone in your group of players) own a copy of Dawn of the Zeds 2nd Edition
