Defenders of the Last Stand
Been years since I’ve played this. Looking foreword to digging in again.

I have always loved the look of this game
I see, I find this stuff interesting. I think it is about time for someone to put out a good book about boardgames of the last 30 years maybe. I would wish for a mix between coffeetable book and encyclopedia.
Agree!
ah, I got confused with Matt Leacock. Launnius did Defenders of The Realm which came out in 2010(looked it up). I think the Overrun mechanic is similar to a Pandemic Outbreak (2008). Somehow I always think of them to be related. I envy your game collection!
The overrun mechanic probably started with Launius's Arkham Horror, with the gate burst. I think the lineage goes Arkham Horror > Pandemic > Defenders of the Realm > Defenders of the Las Stand. Launius pretty much started it all with AH.
Very cool looking, this is a pandemic style game but with more depth, right?
I'd say it's Pandemic style with more theme, more Ameritrash style. Definitely a threat management style game, and definitely a Richard Launius game.
