About the game
This queenie has 2 alternate zombies, a street tile and eight new item tokens. The two new zombies, Hammer-Zombie and Combi-Zombi, are tough and will each take multiple players to defeat (respectively 7 fists and 3 fists + 3 bats). The new street tile is "the shack" which can be used as a safe house for one player who can not make it back to the church. The new items give the player actions they can perform, but they can not be stored in the van: flashlight: explore an empty location and take a new item. Discard the flashlight. defibrilator: as long as the player is carrying the defbrillator, one calm face heals every panic face (this helps all players sharing a tile with its owner) crossbow: counts as a fist or a bat whenever you fight a zombie map: allows a player to move to any tile with 2 runner icons (even traveling through buildings to get there) backpack (3x): allows the player to carry 2 more items kevlar vest: players can use their calm faces when zombies are on the same tile as the player
