Twilight Creations of Cold Spring, Kentucky has reached an agreement with the United States Playing Card Company to produce and sell expansions of the Zombies!!! Board Game.  The game was released in early October of 2001 by the Journeyman Press division of USPC, and quickly became one of the most popular new board game releases of the year.  However, within days of the game's release, United States Playing Card Company eliminated its Journeyman Press division (see 'U.S. Playing Cards Cuts Journeyman Division'), a move that put the Zombies!!! Board Game in limbo.  Now USPC has licensed the game's original creators, now known as Twilight Creations, to produce expansions and miniatures for Zombies!!!.  The highly anticipated 'Military Base' expansion (zombies look so good in green) is due in early June, while an additional bunch of glow-in-the-dark miniatures for the game (the notorious 'Bag O' Zombies') should be out in time for Origins.

 

As for the original Zombies!!! Board Game ($19.95 retail) -- well, it is still available from USPC.  About 12,000 of the original print run of 20,000 games have been sold, so USPC still has 8,000 games left.  When those are sold out, Twilight Creations will have the rights to publish a new edition of the game itself.  Pop culture retailers who haven't carried the Zombies!!! Game should consider the perennial popularity of the 'living dead' now that the franchise itself is once again alive and kicking.
