We too just dusted this game off..its been at least 10 years but I'll bet longer since we played. The big problem for us was the first several games..and the mistakes we made..due to not remembering a rule or just the mucking up the flow of the ga...

I thought McCain was around when they founded AAA.
No, he's a AAA Gold member.
These are some of the counters I did for Mark H. Walker's "All Things Zombie" boardgame.
