Zombies from Twilight Creations
In this game, based loosely on the various zombie movies, players take on the role of a human survivor of the zombie apocalypse attempting to make it to a helicopter landing pad and escape on the helicopter.  The game can run rather long if you have a large number of players, but I've enjoyed the hours I've spent playing it and so have my friends.  For more information, see this page on the manufacturer's web site.


Pirate's Cove from Days of Wonder
This game puts players in the role of pirates, trying to amass fame and fortune on the high seas.  There's a bit of luck and a bit of strategy involved in winning the game.  It's rated for ages 8 and up.


Family Business from Mayfair Games
In this game, each player takes the lead of a mafia crime family and tries to wipe out the other gangs by putting out hits on them, getting them arrested, etc.  It's a fast-paced game and requires a good bit of strategy to win.  It's not especially graphic or bloody, though it depicts a very violent time (Prohibition era) in American history.  It's suitable for ages 8 and up.

Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out.

Players must work together, playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example, the Operation Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5.

But the diseases are outbreaking fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while also towards cures.

A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose.

Contents: board, 96 wooden cubes (for diseases), 5 pawns, 6 wooden research stations,
6 markers: 1 outbreak marker, 1 infection rate marker, and 4 cure markers, 115 Cards: 48 infection cards, 59 player cards, 4 role cards, and 4 quick reference cards
No. of players: 2-4
Ages: 10+
Playing time: 45-60 minutes
Price: $34.99
Stock code: ZMG 7021

At this kind of a discount, I expect the game will sell out quickly, like the Axis & Allies: Guadalcanal on Tanga.com did earlier today.

I should point out as a matter of due diligence that I have no affiliation with, nor have I ever ordered anything from, Pozy.com.  Their inclusion here is as a news item and a public service, not an endorsement or recommendation.

...that's not good enough for our customers - nope; to add a little icing to that delicious discount cake we will be including free gifts for customers who go the extra mile and spend the extra dollars!  We are offering free gifts for purchases of $50, $100, $250, and $500.  Spend $500 and you get a free copy of the popular Munchkin Quest signed by Steve Jackson.  Take a look at the other gifts, details, and restrictions.
