Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- With so many editions and versions of Zombicide out there, how do you know which to buy? Is Marvel Zombies real Zombicide? Shoudl you wait for White Death? Which one has the most expansions? Let me help you decide.
Full reviews:
- Zombicide Invader - • Zombicide Invader Revi...
- Green Horde - the curse of Kickstarter - • Zombicide: Green Horde...
My recommendations:
- Zombicide Second Edition for most people - amzn.to/456qXZ8
- Green Horde for fantasy or D&D mini reuse - amzn.to/4bFEFEL
White Death will have a campaign, thats one of the main reasons I picked it up. its a monk type setting with chi skill cards and statues. if its as good as 2.0 i think we will be in for a treat
I remember watching your review of Zombicide Invaders. It was the one review that really helped me to take my decision.
Thanks for that!
Thank you for your review. Zombicide is very interesting and yes, we can adapt some ideas from one version to another, like using Shield soldiers in 2nd edition as enemies (you know how military reacts sometimes, like in The Last Of Us) or as supporting/rescuing NPC allies).
Thanks, again. I'm following you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great video ! thank you for it, I'm eager to buy a new zombicide and it helped me a lot.
We only love the first edition because a survivor has only 2 lives and CAN BE KILLED! We looove that! Plus the 2d edition is wayyy too easy!
I have the first edition with the upgrade kits and undead or alive. It was wierd not hearing any praise for undead or alives difficulty and gameplay.
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.
What are all the expansions for the 2nd edition core game? I’m trying to build a huge map to play on using all the base set and expansion sets. Is that possible to do? or would some of the cards in the expansion sets mess up the overall gameplay?
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!
Great review thankyou
Army of the Dead is happening and it seems pretty fun actually!
It does look rather good, but omg do I need more zombicide? Yes, probably. ;)
Great vid! Do I get you right, that Black Plague is based on the first edition rules?
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.
currently have undead or alive and 2nd edition. hopefully in the future they make one set during the 1930s era or pirate era
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?
Side note, this is the only time we can create a crossover between DC vs Matvel in the form of zombies haha
Those 'airdropped specialist' card quite annoying.
Some or perhaps all Zombie heros might end up dead.😅
Why is Undead or Alive not a core game? I don't get it. Though it was a Zombicide game with the usual differences from any other Zombicide.
(I don't have, so I don't know. I'm trying to figure it all out.)
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.
And then you have the dead keep board game coming in 2025 which seems to be a massive darkness 2 and zombicide mash up
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 ;)
Do you have a link for those event cards ?

All of them. Except Marvel. Just not a fan of the super hero thing. I WILL be getting "The Boys" models though cuz that show is dope!
