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.

Almost a 10
A worldwide plague, somewhat like the flu, is killing millions of people, there are a handful of scientists and others trying to prevent this from happening. Unfortunately the male lead, who could be the key to everything, has woken up bruised and with amnesia.
Great writing, interesting characters and an amazing storyline. It would have got a 10 if it wasn't for the fact that at times, some of the events were overly complicated and difficult to keep up with. This book is the combination of science and human emotion, the first three quarters of the book were very impressive, but the last part becomes a little fantastical, and that's when I started to get lost.

I enjoyed the strong female lead, the male lead was somewhat egotistical. Some parts were predictable. But overall was an enjoyable read, just go in with your eyes open.

Album Favorite

"It's another strange thing; you had to keep some records as secrets on the punk scene, but John Lydon was into [founding member of Van der Graaf Generator] Peter Hammill. There's an idea that people would hide their Genesis records and get out The Damned ones if people came round. I didn't hide mine, although I didn't play them to Ian when he came round. They're a funny band, Van der Graaf Generator. At the time, with Pawn Hearts, all of your mates would say: "Ooh, there's a track that's three days long… it's pixie stuff". But 'A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers' is completely overblown, like a nightmare with saxophones. I suppose it's the ultimate prog-rock album: it's really overblown, but still of the terrifying. I really like Peter Hammill. He's another guy who's really unique - he has a really individual way of singing, and it's very raw."
