In “The Dead”, add a new Subrule, “Boss Zombies”:
While Creating a Zombie, a Farmer may designate that Zombie to be a Boss Zombie by doing all of the following:
1. Pay three times the Species cost in Juice. This cost is in addition to any costs paid to Create the Zombie.
2. Setting its Attack to double the Species Attack.
3. Setting its Health to double the Species Health.Boss Zombies cannot shamble for 24 hours after they have been Created.
It might be legally possible to interpret these rules to allow the creation of a Boss Boss Zombie, but reading the rules carefully indicates that such a zombie would cost 7 times the Species cost while still having attack and health equal to double the Species Attack, as #2/#3 set the attack/health based on the Species attack/health, not the zombie attack/health.
I considered requiring 48 hours before allowing them to shamble, but most zombies are too easily defeated as is. For similar reasons, I did not create a rule to disallow Farmers to Create more than one Boss Zombie per plot.
