Watch “The Plum Island Horror Reviewed,” a board game review for The Plum Island Horror from The Gaming Gang on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by The Gaming Gang on YouTube:
Jeff takes on the latest game design from his friend Hermann Luttmann for GMT Games. The Plum Island Horror places players in the roles of faction leaders trying to defend the island from terrifying and ravenous monsters while also attempting to evacuate as many civilians as they possibly can. The game provides plenty of chaos and is not easily defeated. The Plum Island Horror is for one to four players, ages 14+, plays in around 45 minutes per player, and carries an MSRP of $95.00.
*Note* Jeff misspoke; regarding the critical hit - it is a hit and a reroll, not two hits - and you only draw an event card from the Fate card result if you perform a follow action.

About The Plum Island Horror, from BoardGameGeek:
The Plum Island Horror is a 1 to 4 player game featuring cooperative play that combines tactical-level unit management with a tower-defense style survival mechanic. Each player will control one of six unique factions which represent the various groups that populate Plum Island. Each of these Factions has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the system encourages you to optimize for the group's strengths and marginalize its weaknesses. Players must coordinate with one another, and the resulting synergy will hopefully be enough to successfully evacuate a city under siege and contain the horrific outbreak that threatens to spread beyond the island itself. If the players can succeed, they will win together, and the world will most likely be none the wiser to the averted crisis. If not, they will lose together and share the blame equally for failing humankind.
