Playing as 2 zombies has the following strenghts and weakness

Advantages:
- Each player may discard 1 zombie card at the start of the turn. Instead of discarding a single card as a single zombie player.

- Easier to spawn zombies. Each player rolls a 1d6 and take into account only it's own zombies, this provides and independent roll instead of the bell curve that 2d6 provides.

- May forgo the rule of equally distribute zombies. You only take your zombies into account while spawning new ones, so both players may spawn in the same spawn point without having to colletivelly distribute their zombies equally.

Disadvantages
- Slower gameplay. The strategy may become very diffuse with 2 zombie players.

- Easier game for heroes, IF the zombie players don't function very well as a team.

- Some zombie cards get really nerfed because playing with 2 players makes then activate only for certain zombies.

I believe if you are playing a single zombie player you are allowed to discard 2 of your 4 cards the only difference in playing with two zombie heroes is everything is split in half....number of cards in hand, discard amount, zombie pool etc.....therefore the statement that you get to only discard 1 as a single player zombie is incorrect.
