Not sure when Canadians will get their zombicides but I'm excited for this. Will be my first Zombicide game I've owned. All I ever saw of this game is from when I bought a copy and painted all the minis to give as a Christmas gift.
Another great vid! To get the camera to focus on smaller minis you should hold the mini in the palm of your hand. It gives the camera a bigger target to focus on
I loved your Coexist rant! While the piles of plastic look sweet, we also enjoy your ramblings and thoughts on life and living it. As they say, “keep being you”
Definitely enjoy your content man. 50 percent board games, 50 percent conversation. Although sometimes I don’t agree with what you’re talking about (which is a very small percentage). I’m glad you do it. Keep it up!
Ancient god (Cthulhu) in an expansion for a game about ancient gods and their giant scorpions and teleporters? - those designers must be on drugs - what were they thinking. There are RULES!!! Same ancient god in a zombie game? Totally fine - fits perfectly. I'm totally fine with Cthulhu as an expansion to either game. But your logic doesn't compute. ;-) I totally understand people who think that there was too much Cthulhu around in recent (post-copyright) years. But the same is true for zombies - and zombies are ahead by at least a factor of 10. Matagot looked for an idea for a Kemet expansion, stumbled on Cthulhu and got inspired and offered an expansion for anybody interested. "Meh, not for me" or "oh, that is cool" are both very appropriate reactions. But option number 3 "Matagot doesn't know Kemet - this is crazy, now Kemet is broken" is a weird reaction IMHO.
I'd answer here, but I already did a full video on it awhile ago :) And it's not that they don't know it or that it's broken, it's that their vision for an updated game is a drift from what I want...which is fine. But that might make it not for me.
@@BoardGameCo The part that I find very confusing is that about Kemet itself. Ignore the Chtulhu (now aka Book the dead) expansion and look at Kemet itself - and there is no sign of Bugs Bunny or throwing marbles in the air to determine combat results by the reflection the marbles made on the wall. Kemet:B&S is pretty much original Kemet with the good and popular parts of Ta-Seti included, a bit of tweaking and cleanup on DI cards and rules and a slightly better production. That won't help anybody who already didn't like Kemet before, but for anybody who liked Kemet I don't understand what has changed.
I saw Saturday night a temporary live video of building a shelf with you. When I clicked on it, it was unavailable. So it's interesting to see you talk about it.
Funny enough, I listen to all of my UA-cam videos at 2x speed (too much content that I'm interested in, wouldn't keep up otherwise). I do occasionally have to rewind a few seconds when I miss something but I got used to 2x in general years ago.
I love the BHG shelves, we use those a lot in our house but not for board games. We have Wire Shelves from Walmart for BGs since they hold so much more weight.
In the red reboot box how do you know when to put in one of the stretch goal zombies with extra rules compared to just spawning walkers or runners? Weird place to ask a question but figured there would be some zombicide fans here
I don't often click "like" on videos, but when you got to 29:35 and said "If you don't like Danny Trejo, you can..." At that point, I immediately had to click "like"! The man is a hero, and I'm glad to see him recognised like this in Zombicide.
Yesssss!! Looks fun ;) One random question- what fabric is on your table? Is it just wool? Sorry, if you have already answered this question! I remember you talking about it but I just cannot seem to find the video ://
Modern zombie setting feels too dry. Like you said, BP and Invader try a twist on the standard zombie theme. Anyway, I’d be curious to read the rule changes for 2nd edition.
@@BoardGameCo if you do ever make it down, I'd be happy to join in a game or two with ya. I'm used to mini games(ala name), but have little experience with much else.
Hey Alex. Good video. I unboxed mine yesterday, and yet I still watched this, so I guess you're doing something right! Two things: 1) I agree with you in terms of swearing in videos. I don't have a problem with people doing it, I'm cool with letting people be them... Personally, for me, it just turns me off almost immediately. Just, not a fan. 2) Before you take those 6 bullets and take action with them, READ World War Z (if you haven't). You may be pleasantly surprised. (I say read the book, NOT watch the movie...) Not as typically bleak as all other source material on zombie apocalypses. Anyways, good video. Thanks for the entertaining content!
A Zombicide Role playing games sounds bad to me, since you can literally take dnd and theme it after a zombie apocalypse or get any one of many themed Zombie Roleplaying games.
I own everything for black plague and green horde. Really wanted to get this, as modern zombicide would be my prefered theme, but the abomination choices throughout the campaign made me withdraw my pledge. No one abomination pushed me away, but all of them together felt so random and disjointed. ALL being very Very pop culture-esk. So much pop culture. Sad. So I went all in for massive darkness 2 and pick up and all for massive darkness 1. Planning to make some custom cards to add more crossover.
I love your videos and it was great to see the items in this unboxing (I’ll pick up my Kickstarter items on Monday), but you were so manic, so frenetic, that it was almost hard to watch. I think you consumed way too much caffeine (or something else) before you shot this video. Lol
@@BoardGameCo when you first flipped it open you're supposed to use the little ledge guy on the back of the knife to flip it open not the numbs on the side of the blade. The ledge helps to flip it open quicker the numbs are like a backup system.
I just bought the travel version because I wanted to try the game without paying 100 bucks immediately. I have a question about Phil's brothers in arms. Theres no where that indicates what the fuck his skill it. I understand it only is active if you share a zone with a survivor and can be shared with all other survivors but it doesnt tell you what that skill is so in my opinion he literally has no skill and is only useful for his 2 damage. I googled and tried to find somewhere that says what it is but theres nothing
The plus side about people being outraged over the mention of Trump, or obama for that matter, is that you know exactly who not to trust, believe or associate with. This game looks as expected for CMON, so I'm a fan. I prefer Black Plague, but it's always nice seeing more Zombicide.
Dude, seems you are generally uninterested in this set. I'm wondering if you bought it to have more things to talk about on a future "Games That Left My Collection" video. 😉
Tell me about it. Like those commenters on youtube. It makes life so hard. Like I just want to make people happy, but all they do is complain. Life is so hard man.
Why did they give Clinton the golf clubs and not Trump? Trump golfed 298 days of his presidency at a cost of $145 Million to tax payers. He definitely should've been the one with the golf clubs.
I enjoy watching you because you have thoughtful things to say. The fact that our tastes in board games is similar is a bonus.
Thank you Steve :)
Agree :)
I was literally just searching for videos of this game today. Im Dying to see some gameplay, that's not over a year old.
I'll get working on it :)
Same here. This is my 1st time playing a zombicide game.
Not sure when Canadians will get their zombicides but I'm excited for this. Will be my first Zombicide game I've owned. All I ever saw of this game is from when I bought a copy and painted all the minis to give as a Christmas gift.
Nice :) I enjoy the zombicide universe :)
I'm in Ontario and I got mine on the 12th

I know, the problem is based on where the camera is that ends up being a very awkward angle.

Thanks ☺️
I showed up for the coffee, and stayed to see you play with plastic cars. 🤣
Well yes....so would I :)
Definitely enjoy your content man. 50 percent board games, 50 percent conversation. Although sometimes I don’t agree with what you’re talking about (which is a very small percentage). I’m glad you do it. Keep it up!
Thank you Anthony :)
Literally so jealous. Making my husband check his email hourly to see if we got the QML email yet!
I have no interest in Zombicide but I really enjoy listening to you talk about life, gaming and family 🥰
Glad you did :)
I was unpleasantly surprised not to have a Spawn card for some zombies ... The daylies in particular !!!! How do they spawn then?
Just grabbing them and seeing what you grab.

Ya, that was a mess. We started building our kallax but only had one of two packages....so it got cancelled.
Excited to hear your review, especially as someone who already owns Black Plague
Hopefully coming soon :)
This looks sooo good!! Thank you for the unboxing, Alex. Already Can’t wait to get my hands on Undead or Alive ;D
Same :)
About your thing with the gun and six bullets... Have you seen The Mist (2007) ? The moovie is not really good but i will never forget the end...
I haven't...but now I want to :)
Hey Alex, wondering if you could do a final video on Robinson Crusoe, since all stretch goals are known. Is all the stretch goals worth a pledge? THK!
I cover it a bit in today's To Back or Not to back, but not the amount of attention it ideally needs.
@@BoardGameCo it was enough for me. Thk!
I had to check my settings to make sure I didn't have the setting set to speed times 1.5 lol. Did you chase adderall with your coffee?
Lol I just always talk fast :)
Funny enough, I listen to all of my UA-cam videos at 2x speed (too much content that I'm interested in, wouldn't keep up otherwise). I do occasionally have to rewind a few seconds when I miss something but I got used to 2x in general years ago.
@@do_hickey i almost always watch videos at x1.25, but I also listen to music on UA-cam so I change the setting often.
Golden video title.
Lol thanks :)
this was before my kickstarter addiction...I mean journey. hopefully I can get it at retail.
Journey is a nicer word.
I love the BHG shelves, we use those a lot in our house but not for board games. We have Wire Shelves from Walmart for BGs since they hold so much more weight.
I used to have wire shelves....I much prefer the look of kallax though
@@BoardGameCo I agree, I was purely going for practical with loadbearing lol. Have had too many wood shelves sag in the middle in the past.
Nice unboxing and chat good job thanks so much and I just bought this game lol 😊
The car part should be its own video 😂
Zombicide was my first boardgame (Outside monopoly)
And 2nd edition is my first kickstarter, Still waiting for it to arrive but man. do I love it
Nice :) I held off for a long time but eventually caved and got it :)
Are you going to do a playthrough of zombicide 2nd edition? Haven't seen one anywhere.
I hope to yes :)
I can't find BP so think I'll get Green Horde because the enemy's in 2nd Edition are not exactly thrilling
Ya I'd choose gh too
If you slide the ratchet each-way twice (all the way) it will free up nicely.
Barry
Good to know, I'll give it a go.
Adding a Cthulhu miniature as bonus to a game is ok.
Making Cthulhu a (sub)theme in every game is not ok.
But Cthulhu is in the public domain and we can use it for free without having to create!
Sharp blades for the unboxing! Yay!!! Haha!
:)
Definitely boardgames. Boardgames are under control.
Yep :)
In the red reboot box how do you know when to put in one of the stretch goal zombies with extra rules compared to just spawning walkers or runners? Weird place to ask a question but figured there would be some zombicide fans here
Does the extra soldiers box come with the cards too or just plastic?
I think just plastic
@@BoardGameCo aww man that means you can’t buy this without the main expansion
I don't often click "like" on videos, but when you got to 29:35 and said "If you don't like Danny Trejo, you can..." At that point, I immediately had to click "like"!
The man is a hero, and I'm glad to see him recognised like this in Zombicide.
for better focus: hold your hand behind the minis, so the cam can focus better and faster. Just a tipp ;-)
Thanks :)

The tablecloth looks like felt
Wool tablecloth :)
Chinese Lion, I used to lion dance for a Kung Fu school when I was in my 20's.
Modern zombie setting feels too dry. Like you said, BP and Invader try a twist on the standard zombie theme. Anyway, I’d be curious to read the rule changes for 2nd edition.
Yep, I hope to read this and table it soon :)
were there compatibility cards included?
“I said ‘Step pause turn pause pivot step step,’ not “Step pause turn pause pivot step pause!’ Oh, shudder!”
Stagger, stagger, stagger, crawl, crawl, stagger. roll
Exactly!
Would love to see you come down to frederick and get a couple games in with the local quacks.
Would love to as well.... question of practical time and attention. Cons eventually :)

I'm watching this on a Wednesday, does that matter?
If I'm being honest, completely ruins the whole video.
were is the rpg book i have not seen it anywhere?
I didn't get it sorry.
Has anyone soloed 2nd edition? If so, how is it?
I've never soloed any of the Zombicide sorry :(
Fascinated to hear why you're comparing The Reckoners vs. Marvel United...
Reckoners vs. Dice Throne Adventures would make sense...
We'll cover that too :)
@@BoardGameCo I love all three, so I'm looking forward to it!
Is it new Reckoners stuff? That delivering anytime soon?
I just got my copy today!
Nice!
A Zombicide Role playing games sounds bad to me, since you can literally take dnd and theme it after a zombie apocalypse or get any one of many themed Zombie Roleplaying games.

there is no donald trump or obama, but there is a actual danny trejo, like for real its him he even has the same name

haven't gotten a new game in a second and someone was getting rid of their copy.
That was quick
@@BoardGameCo yeah not sure. They didn’t even open it and sold it for the Kickstarter price.
.....so what do you say when you stub your toe. " that really gave me pain when I hit my toe"
Why do you have to say anything?
@@BoardGameCo it is a natural response your brain signals to at least say ouch. It's trying to distract you from the pain.
