Other dangers hide in plain sight. There’s always the possibility that one of the players is a hidden traitor. You could always banish them from the safety of the hideout but there’s always a chance that you’re wrong and just made yourself another enemy. The Walking Dead took the zombie genre and brought it into the popular consciousness. AMC’s TV show, based on the comic book, made it cool to like zombies again. As with most things in the pop culture sphere, there are a ton of different spin-offs, merchandising, and collectibles that go along with it. It’s a fast-paced, real-time, cooperative, dice-rolling game in which you have 15 minutes to gather supplies from the surrounding area, return safely, and then escape. All the while, zombies are spawning around you and attempting to rip apart your safe house.
The only problem, you ask? There’s only room for one more person in the chopper. That’s right, this is a free-for-all brawl. No cooperative, let’s be friends and build a world together, here. Every man, woman, and child is on their own. What We Liked: Zombie Dice usually had a permanent spot near the gaming table. Whenever I’m waiting around or have some time to kill we would play it. It’s great to pull out and play for 15 minutes then be on your way. The meeples in Tiny Epic anything are usually pretty unique. Tiny Epic Zombies has equippable meeples! What I like most about Zpocalypse 2 are the game components. Not only is everything durable and solid but they’re very cool-looking and functional. The player boards themselves look amazing. Zombicide does an incredible job of building tension and scaling the game along with the player count. Zombie spawns are determined by the highest player’s level, so hiding behind one super-tanky character isn’t the best strategy. The numbers and types of zombies will scale with the players’ strength.
FAQ
In Zombie 15’, all of the adults have turned into zombies! All that’s left are a handful of 15-year-old kids and they have about 15 minutes before they’re eaten alive. Sometimes during an encounter, you’ll get a small token depending upon your actions during an event. Don’t bother trying to figure out what they do. The game will tell you when it’s time. Dead Panic is the zombie version of Castle Panic. Replacing the hordes of orcs and trolls are unending hordes of the undead. Zpocalypse is a fun mix of strategic decisions, campy scenarios, pre-combat strategy, and of course, hordes of zombies. It’s also cool that you can play this game cooperatively or competitively. What Could Be Better: City of Zombies is a co-operative, dice-based intense team survival game. Players combine dice to target and remove zombies from an ever-advancing horde before their barricade is overrun.
So… surrounded by zombies, your neighbors pushing in more to your territory all the time, and your only defense is an ineffective military. What are you going to do? What can save you now? SCIENCE!!! Other zombie games feature survival but this is the first one where the players are actually on the offensive. They’re sneaking through the doctor’s house, avoiding traps, killing his zombies, and, ultimately, trying to kill him and retrieve the antidote. It’s a rather refreshing theme. Did you ever play the tower defense custom games from Warcraft/Starcraft? That’s kind of what Zpocalypse 2 is like. It’s a mashup of tower defense games and RPGs. In Dead of Winter, you take on the role of a character in a motley crew of survivors. You could be anything from an urban ninja, a drunken Santa Claus, or even a dog. It gets a little weird sometimes but it’s all in good fun. Resident Evil was the KING of horror during my childhood. I still remember the first time I played Resident Evil 2. Until that point, video games (for me anyway) held your hand and when you started playing, usually were able to obliterate anything in your path, especially during a tutorial level.That’s basically it. You’ll always roll three dice and when something is scored, you get to pull another die out of the pool. The dice come in 3 colors: green, yellow, and red. Greens have the best odds for rolling brains and reds have the worst. Zpocalypse, the original, is an epic game and quite some big shoes to fill. Although Z2: Defend the Burbs has some popular added attributes, the original Zpocalypse seems to have a little more character and charm. That’s okay, though. Zombie outbreaks are known for being easy to quarantine… right? What We Liked: The rulebooks can be intimidating but there’s so much zombie goodness in this box that I highly urge you to give it a try. What We Liked: Each character gets a different skill set and can only use specific equipment. The overall game is very faithful to the original, giving players a very cool nostalgic feeling during gameplay. You’ll notice a lot of mechanics attempt to mimic that same feeling you had when you first played Resident Evil 2.
But this game's not done. Your dwindling options and your desperate dialogues are drawn out by a final pit-stop. Every survivor card is actually double-sided, and you can flip it - once - to use that character's power. The kid can hide. The burglar can break into a building that's full. The pregnant woman gives birth, giving her two votes. But if you do use these, those survivors are worth fewer points at the end of the game. If you get a bum hand of elderly survivors, it just means more points if you can get them through the night. Also, nobody suspects gramps has a holdout pistol. Resident Evil 2: The Board Game is a cooperative, zombie-filled experience that can be devastatingly difficult to play if you don’t work together. The designers faithfully recreated the same atmosphere, which translates extremely well to the tabletop. What We Liked:There’s a reason Resident Evil coined the term “Survival Horror”. With this terrifying board game, you’re in for a real treat. At first glance, it can seem like the humans have all the advantages, and to a certain degree, they do. Zombies move slowly and are easy to kill, whereas the humans have all kinds of fun weapons and toys. The board in Escape: Zombie City is also procedural. As players explore, more sections of the board will be placed so you never truly know what you’re going to find. Zombie State: Diplomacy of the Dead is a brutal game. Zombies will be constantly spawning and flooding into your territories and it’s actually extremely difficult to get rid of them.
