Hah, mine too. I'll just sell this on now. Definitely good value minis!

Aww, thanks for the kind words! :)

I thought I was listening to a BBC presentation! ​@@TabletopDungeon

Totally fair about the mechanics - I'd probably enjoy those. It's just the theme I really dislike! If i see a bargain I'll pick it up though :)

The campaign expansions typically add a few new tiles, some more characters, and replace the original equipment decks - and sometimes more unique tokens and rules etc. You use all the zombie miniatures from the base game, the spawn cards, plus the tiles, markers, tokens etc. So the campaign missions consist of a mix of components from the base game and expansion tiles. That's if you're playing through the campaign of course - if you're just doing a one-off game, you can mix and match anything you like from the expansions, and ignore the bits you don't like. Soldier zombies, for instance.. .a lot of people hate those! I tend to use the equipment decks from expansions even with the base game now, since it adds "all out" mechanics, where there's a chance your weapon breaks in exchange for a few more dice on your attack.

I think the only problem with that is that Cmon already has a Cthulu Death May Die game - I'd expect a crossover pack letting you use those in Zombicide rather than a full game edition.

@TabletopDungeon true that. I know it is highly highly unlikely........ Just thought it would be really cool. Thanks for replying. Appreciate it 🙏

That's a shame - are you a fan of engine builders, generally? I certainly wouldn't choose to play this given so many other choices, but I wouldn't say no if someone wanted to.

I think it was the iPad app that made it really clear for me, as it scans around each farmer and counts each castle. IRL, I find it easiest to find the edge of their field, and follow it all the way around, counting how many unique completed castles it touches - then do any in the middle that you missed.

@@TabletopDungeon okay, thats great i’ll try that out. Thanks

It's not specified that you *have* to play with the survivors from the set, but I would recommend doing your first playthrough with them just because it's in theme, if that makes sense. But after that, I just mix and match. I have so many additional survivors anyway with the Kickstarter reboot box that we can always play a new character, and have a large graveyard of those who died in past attempts!

@@TabletopDungeon thanks

The ranged soldier guys are definitely divisive, and I can see why you might not like the RioZ one. Not sure how I'd feel about a London expansion, but I expect I'd love running around and doing my best cockney accent.

Good question! Castles of Mad King Ludwig - ua-cam.com/video/N1ANhH2Muk8/v-deo.html Carcassonne - (my tips video) ua-cam.com/video/Nuvskmdq0f8/v-deo.html Scythe - ua-cam.com/video/elxmLXxMaE8/v-deo.html ... and gotta be Zombicide second edition, with some campaign action. ua-cam.com/video/IGpC_2UMT4g/v-deo.html

@@TabletopDungeon thank you for the reply! Imma watch that Scythe review. Odd you like it so much. I've heard such a large number of people who love Rising Sun hate Scythe and vice versa. Never played it, so no idea either way.

I have just the video for you! ua-cam.com/video/IGpC_2UMT4g/v-deo.html

@@TabletopDungeon Thanks bud!

Just to note for anyone scanning the comments, that's a part of the Eternal Empire expansion, not the base game. But yeh, really excited for white death!

Yeah the base game won’t have a campaign, but the expansions in the all-in pledge will have campaigns

You can make it much harder with some house rules

In terms of new tiles, all of the campaign expansions I outline here - ua-cam.com/video/IGpC_2UMT4g/v-deo.html , plus the 2nd Comic Book pack (if you can find it). There's also a separate "tiles pack" which is just a duplicate of all the base game tiles specifically so you can use both sides to build a huge map. In terms of card decks: - anything with additional zombie types can be added right in; soldiers from Washington ZC, extra abominations, etc. Not a problem there. You might also consider the "Complete 2nd Edition Upgrade Kit", which has a bunch of zombie spawn cards for zombie types from the first edition (but you don't have to own the first edition of course, if you have another set of zombie minis somewhere you could use those instead, as long as they're different colors). - Item decks in the campaigns replace the original item deck because they have the "all out" mechanic; a supercharged attack with the possibility the weapon wil break. You could combine multiple campaign decks without issue though, or customize it. Same goes for the super weapons, they replace the original deck. On a large map, you'd need to use multiple sets from campaing expansions to accomodate all crates. Basically, keep the oiginal item decks in the box, only use those fom expansions. - Camapign expansions would also add day/night cycle, wound deck, and special item decks (secret service, amy stuff) Hope that helps!

If you still have your copy, the Complete Upgrade Kit does that! amzn.to/3WqVSLO - lots of different zombie types you can bring in.

Yeah and i cant find toxic mall😢 they should remake it for new players..

​@@jorisschelfhout2348 en la bgg están unas pegatinas de alta calidad, aunque no son oficiales, pero puedes actualizar tus azulejos de toda la primera edición para poder usarlos con la segunda edición.

No, sorry, I probably should have been clearer - I think everything afetr first edition was based around teh same ruleset, with minor tweaks each time.

I found a pre order on wayland games. (ships on or before january 25, 2025 though lol)

@@majorminor8557

@@majorminor8557 Hmm ... well that gives me time to A) play more of what I have which is a lot and B) save up for 2025 releasing board games

It does look rather good, but omg do I need more zombicide? Yes, probably. ;)

I haven't played it, but watching a review of it - ua-cam.com/video/Nbu3z-0xTC0/v-deo.html - there seems to be a lot ...less to the game. According to BGG it's a little more complex, but just seems to be smaller scale, space hulk style fighting inside the ship. It doesn't appeal to me, but it depends how much you want the official storyline and characters.

Thanks @Why-Ron75 , much apprecaite the kind words. I wish there were more too, but life keeps getting in the way :(

That's a fair question, and it's possible I've been too dismissive of it as it's not a theme that appealed. But I would say that it's not a core game for a few reasons: it's unlikely to get a second season, and I don't know of any crossover content. The modern, fantasy, and invader games all have a load of crossover monsters and cards with other games, like Massive Darkness 2, Project Elite, and more. That's not to say it isn't a good game, though, and there are a few expansions for it, so you'll never be wanting for more. Like I say, the theme is most important - if it appeals, go for it.

Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated!

Only ones worth playing with are "Inns and Cathedrals" + "Traders and Builders". I'm not a fan of "The River" since it separate everyone too much at the start, but it's ok if you want a more relaxed start to the game. The rest are trash ;)

Pirate Zombies might be a bit weird. You could just shove them off the boat, surely? And respawns wouldn't make much sense unless they were fish zombies ;) 30s era sounds doable - mafia zombies type of thing, tommy guns? Yeaaaah.

@@TabletopDungeon Oh i was thinking more on land scenarios like the rest of the series. Treasure caves,abandoned forts/hide outs,towns,native villages,boat scenario does sound interesting though. As for the mafia one it definitely could work,who wouldn’t like mowing down zombies with a tommy gun in a pinstripe suit?

I'm not sure where I got that from! Perhaps mixed up with taking a stress to reroll a dice?

Ahhh, I think I remember an email about that. Yeh, looks very similar to MD2, which I'm not a huge fan of to be honest. It all felt a bit random. Think I'll give that one a pass ;)

Sorry to hear that Michael! It's quite an outlier in the Zombicide system and is unlikely to receive any further development, so I didn't want to push people toward it.

I think 8 hours would be normal for experienced gamers (not necessarily experienced with TI4 I mean, just games in general). My group tends to be... not. So there's a lot of analysis paralysis ;)

@@TabletopDungeon Yeah, I played about a month ago with me, a very experience player and 4 people new to the game, who were all long-time gamers, and we did it in around 8 hours. Trying to teach this to non-gamers and get them to play it??? I couldn't imagine it really. I showed my brother the box and some the tiles and his eyes were glazing over. At this point I mostly am just blinging out my set and watching youtube videos, to feed the craving. <sigh>

Definitely 2nd ed modern - if only for the fact that it has campaign expansions, which I wouldn't play without now. Which reminds me, I totally forgot to review that!

Ahhh, sorry - I think that was a Kickstarter bonus thing. It's entirely inconsequential though, to be honest! Just put another road tile off to the side
