This Game Has Everything From ZomA to Zombie
Zombicide, a very simple concept, Survive and Escape.

Each character has a Specific set of Skills; Each skill allows players to do extra actions, or allows them escape options. (Wanda has Slippery, this allows her to move through spaces with Zombies).


This game has 3 Phases per Character; Move, Search, Attack.

As you kill Zombies your characters level up, gaining new skills. However you need to balance this as when one of your teammates levels up, more zombies spawn each turn.

This concept is fantastic and makes you think before you kill.

The game is high quality and printed on thick card and the minis are well detailed. The box it is provided in is also high quality, however I would suggest getting something to store the mini's as the plastic packaging they come in is rather weak.

Gameplay is simple to pickup, however this should really be player Sobre as gameplay does require some thought.

TL;DR
-Good Fun
-Easy to Pickup
-Requires Thought
-Worth Getting Expansions

Excellent game, though far too expensive!
A truly superb game that thoroughly surprised me!

At first I was a little sceptical about how Resident Evil 2 would translate to a board game, but the creators managed to capture the story and the horror perfectly, somehow making everybody involved absolutely terrified, just like the game!

The game is slightly complicated for those new to dice based games (me included), but I believe it to be an excellent starter for beginners.

The game is also unusually for 1-4 players, though I can't imagine it being much fun solo.

Another plus is the number of expansions, all enjoyable, but just like the core game, they are all considerably expensive for what's involved.

The cost is the main issue with this game, the core game costing between £60-80, and expansions anywhere between £15-30 each.

The expansions, with the exception of the rather good B-Files Expansion, contain very little, and add very little. They contain very little and still use the same amount of packaging, using a lot of plastic and wasting paper and cardboard.
