THE BATTLE FOR FARMINGDALE States of SiegeTM #9 Voted #1 on The Gaming Gang's Top 10 Games of 2011! Like a deathly hand from the grave comes Dawn of the Zeds, a States of Siege solitaire game of horror and survival from designer Hermann Luttmann . The world has gone crazy – a deadly virus has turned ordinary people into vicious, zombie-like killers. The undead, nicknamed "Zeds," are now converging on your corner of the world. You have been left to your own devices to stop them while the National Guard organizes a relief column and fights its way to you – but that could take days, or even weeks, before they arrive. At the town of Farmingdale and its surrounding villages, you must coordinate its defenses. Regular citizens may emerge as heroes as you work to halt the Zeds' advances by (re)killing them, discovering and implementing a cure to this vile scourge, and preserving the area and its inhabitants as much as possible. In a game that requires the utmost test of skill and nerve, will you survive long enough? Will you be able to fight hordes of Zeds while protecting the townspeople? Unearth the possibilities with Dawn of the Zeds, a nightmare that ends with your fate ranging between being a hero or a hero sandwich .
