Damnit man you make it sound so fun!

[ironmask]

Yeah, Jon. It reminds me of the Zombies!!!, Humans!!!, and Martians!!! games, which were a lot of fun.
Is there a feature where the versus players can move the zombies, or is that all at random?

It's all decided by rules and card draws, but there is nothing that would prevent a person from house ruling something like that. There are some special survivor zombies that could be put into play like that.

Here is a quick impression of the game from me over at boardgamegeek

You can even kill other players not just zombies if you want to be evil like the Governor from the Walking Dead, hehe.

Had a buddy over last night and played Scenario 01 again. Took about 3 hours but we finally won it!

He came back over today and we played Scenario 2, which is the one that is supposed to suck. You can literally beat it in 2+ turns with Wanda. No real challenge at all. We put a blockade up though, which forced us to go through the top building. Took a long time, but was still kind of boring. The only realy fun on that level was using the molotov to clear out the other side of the building's right door in order to escape. Zombie roast!

After that we played Scenario 3 and about an hour into it, we ran out of walkers and got quite a few extra activations. We were sure we were toast, but in the end, when we were down to 2 players (Josh and Doug) and got some lucky rolls. Kept herding the zombies until we found a molotov to get us into the red zone. That was a fun scenario.

We might play a game tomorrow, but not sure. 6+ hours over the last 2 days is kind of a lot.

If it's a co-op game, sometimes the less players the better. More players equals more chances of bad stuff happening to you during the downtime.

Anyone keeping tabs on this http://www.kickstart...icide-season-2/

It's about to end soon, might beat out the record for highest funded boardgame.

You get a ton of freebies.

[jkaris]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they will top $2 million.

I know I went in full bore for 2 (full) sets. One to keep and one to sell.

The original game is a blast to play and these will add tot he fun. Plus the Kickstarter exclusive go for a mint on eBay so I am hoping that selling the extra set will cover a chunk of the cost of the main set.

I love the art style on these games, just wish it wasn't zombie themed.

Well when something is called Zombicide, the zombie theme is kind of obvious. No reason one couldn't collect the regular sculpt versions of the various pop culture characters, they don't necessarily imply zombie epidemic.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they will top $2 million.

It broke a record, and ended up maxing out on all the extras.

I am not very interested in zombies, either... It's an interesting looking game, and if they ever did some post-apocalyptic mutant shit, I'd be down. I'm not so into the pop culture players, though. SLUG zombies kind of burnt me out on that.

[Grimace]

Darn, I just missed out on it. I love zombie survival stuff, and it looks like Last Night on Earth mixed with the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System games... I would've got on that so quickly!

This reminds me a little bit too much of Zombies!!! but with more pieces.

The more I read the more I see how uninspired this game is. Nick Walker AKA John McClane and El Cholo AKA Machete.

And I think I saw a chick with a samurai sword.

Holy hanna, really? I mean I love the game, but I love eating more.

Zombicide for $1270

[Ericnilla]

Jesus! that is straight up crazy. who in their right mind would pay that for a board game?

Probably the French, they go crazy for miniatures :?

But yeah the seller made about $1000 pure profit on this deal.

Shipping notice for Round 2!!!

[waaaaghlord]

Good, get those bloody zombies sent to folks CMoN and get on with getting me my Rivets!

[jkaris]

Rivets are supposed to ship this month.

[waaaaghlord]

Yeah I've been getting the updates. I'm expecting additional delays from being in the UK though as the European pledges are being processed by Battlefoam who've got a really bad rep for turnaround times on the last couple of mass mail outs they've handled. Also the second batch of Sedition Wars stuff should be queued up to go out ahead of Rivet Wars so I'm not convinced that the estimate on getting those out to US backers around the 15th will prove to be overly accurate. To be honest some delays aren't the biggest problem in the world, I'm just really eager to get these in hand.

[jkaris]

Got mine yesterday. Sadly I won't have time or space to play for a few months. But when I do...

[jkaris]

So, Zombicide Season 3 arrives tomorrow.

Sadly, my son and I have yet to finish all of the season 1 campaigns and haven't even cracked open Season 2.

Love the game, just not enough time in the day.
