Played an interesting board game a while back:  Maul of America.
Zombies are trying to kill the customers, who are trying to collect a
series of items and then get out.  Limitless zombies (well, up to 25 at
a time, but all-the-way-dead ones are replaced.  Right near the exits.)

I don't think it's a game that would hold up under repeated play, but
for a few one-shots, it's not bad.
