Gameplay
A disappointing addition to an excellent game.
"Murder from Above" is one of the poorest expansions of the Resident Evil 2 board game.

It adds very little to the actual gameplay, with only one additional scenario to add to the core game.

In the reasonably large cardboard box filled with non-recyclable plastic, there are only 5 small figures (Giant Moth and 4 Murders of Crows), 3 cards and a sheet of paper with the scenario on...that's it.

But it is also the cheapest expansion to the game costing around £10 compared to the larger expansions that cost £30-40 (but do add more to the game).

A good, but at the same time underwhelming addition.

So much fun for playing and beating your friends
This game is probably one of my favorite card building game. The cards are hilarious and unique. The expansions are just as fun. The NSFW expansion is hilarious. My friends and family love playing this and highly recommended it!!!!

Some cards may break or significantly alter the game. (0 more)
Seaside is many Dominion players' favorite expansion. And if you have played a few expansions, you may find that to be the case. But if you are looking for your first expansion, I would recommend Prosperity. The cards are more straightforward, and there are no game-breaking cards.

Cute cards
Such a fun game
I love this game and have all the expansions. I have spent about 70-80 dollars on it and I do not regret it at all. My kids love it, and its so much fun to mess peoples games up and keep them from winning.

If you are a fan of RTS (real time strategy) games, and if you don't already own this, this is a good option (whether you like Warhammer or not).

Great combo, love if you build the building you get the inhabitant for free
Start small, with only a few resources, and you build and interesting engine
The forest and the events really change the game, from game to game.

Most adorable city building game I know...

A unique spin on the "deck builder". I like that instead of building a deck of cards, you are building a bag of dice. Each die has a different "spell" with a different power depending on how you roll. The game has the potential to be different every time you play, depending on the expansions you have. The fighting mechanic is well done and easy to maneuver. I would suggest using the "mat" included on the back of the instructions as sometimes it is hard to remember what has been spent and what is locked or on deck.

If you like to have complete sets of games and own all the expansions (like my friends and I do), it's good to know that the Light and Dark expansion doesn't really play well when mixed with the rest of the game. It does work as a stand alone though.

Excellent Coop Game
Zombicide is an excellent series of zombie survival games. Black Plague is a much better theme than the original, and in many ways feels like a replacement. The game does take a while to teach, and it is easy to miss a few rules. However, the rule book does do a great job of explaining the rules.

I will say that there are not enough items in the base game. The starting items that you get are hardly worse than the good items. And there are only two "legendary" weapons, which only fit two specific classes. I'm sure the expansions fix this, but the expansions are expensive.

Overall, the game definitely provided us with plenty of cooperative entertainment. Just know that each game typically takes us twice as log as the scenarios suggest.
