ATZ Casino Carnage

“Sarah, you are sure the casino bosses were stockpiling all kinds of stuff in the hidden

safe room before you left to try to find your mom back in DFW?” asked Shane. 

“Yeah, as soon as the craziness started they started stocking up on meds, food, ammo, 

and I swear maybe even gas”, exclaimed Sarah. 

“Well sounds like it’s worth a trip north of the Red River and we’ve got enough gas to 

get us there…I think”, added Tex. 

Mission

Get into the casino and find the master key which didn’t look special so it should

be on his body whether he is a survivor or zombie. Unless he’s locked in the safe 

room of course but positive thoughts. Finding a Luxury Item will represent the 

object we are looking to acquire. 

Group

Shane Rep 5 Star Shotgun

Sarah Rep 4 Pistol

Tex Rep 3 BA Pistol

We arrive!

We enter the map at Parking lot E and it’s Ragers! Ragers are the genius result 

of the government’s attempt at a cure. People who have the cure injected not

only still turned but became fast and super aggressive zombies. There are not 

too many in the world but they are trouble. Luckily in the parking lots we see 

them first and quickly dispatch them. 

We move into the entrance and quickly kill the lone zombie but don’t find 

anything valuable. 

The group heads to the front desk when we spot three other survivors. We cautiously 

engage them in case they have what we need. Luckily Shane passes the encounter 

tests and after a brief interaction determine they just are looking for food. We give 

them some and they head for the exit. We are force to move on and after clearing 

another area head back to the front desk as we couldn’t search after encountering 

the survivors. 

Zombies!!! Where’d they come from? The zombies have the drop on us and 

charge. Shane drops two and Sarah gets one as they move in but Tex misses both

of his shots. Tex manages not to get bit but can’t take out the zombies. I use a house 

rule that after three rounds of melee others unengaged can add in. 

Shane and Sarah each move in and quickly eliminate the zombies. 

Yes! Our loot card is a luxury item. In fact one of the zombies was the boss. 

He must have come out to try and secure the outer doors. 

Our first mission is done. We will regroup and make our plan to get to the 

safe room. 

Final Thoughts

I plan to play the entire campaign to clear the casino. The easy of play and fun

delivered in Casino Carnage was top notch. The rules are a quick read and I 

think the table used if you get wounded by a zombie is awesome. I may port

that to every zombie game I play. 

The game is a good basis for generating your own scenarios as well. The building, 

loot, and encounter decks have endless combination. 

I will play each of the 10 THW board game offerings and post an AAR and my

thoughts.
