The "Last Night on Earth" board game

I came across this board game. It looks interesting but I was wondering if anyone has played it, and if so, could they share some thoughts?

Thanks. :)

Look it up on Boardgamegeek.com It has a pretty decent rating on there and that's usually a good sign. I've never played it but I'm sure there's a few solid of reviews for it at on there as well.

Looks interesting though. And only an hour play time which is a good thing. More fun, more played and easier to bring new players in. Maybe I'll trade in one of my 3+ hour games for this...

I have played it several times. I enjoy it, though it hasn't "hit the table" since our "Good versus Evil" game party last Halloween. I think it, and its respectable cousin ("A Touch of Evil") were supplanted by the Battlestar Galactica boardgame, which (also being a team-oriented, cooperative game) handles the theme and mechanics much better. Like many cooperative games, though, with the right crowd "Last Night on Earth" is wicked fun.
