Session two of Zombicide with my very special and significant other.
So far, we have had a lot of fun. but each session has had the same pattern.
We set up, play for 4 or 5 turns, stuff up and get murdered.
We then reset the mission and try again, and do a hell of a lot better.
This time, after 2 and a bit hours, we got murdered quite close to the finish line
So.... this is how it all ended for us tonight.
The game has a rule, that if you cannot place a certain type of zombie because you have run out of models, then all the zombies of that type on the board activate.
The six runners moved forward, and ate all 4 of our heroes gathered there.
And when i said close to the finish line, I actually meant on the other side of the map, but with all of the supplies we needed. We still had a long dangerous trek to the exit in the top left of the map. (You may notice one of our survivors on the other side of the map)
But we were badasses, experienced survivors are amazing compared to when you start the game.
Wanda the waitress could move 8 squares a turn through any number of zombies.
Amy the goth chick was murdering anything that moved with her shotgun
Ned was a machine with his chainsaw.
Doug the business man sniped dead 7 zombies in one round,
and the other lot weren't bad either.
But still, even with all the baddassatude, it wasn't enough. And zombie ate our brains :(
Still, the story that played out was fun and i enjoyed the game a lot. Great times, very good for 2 players. Curious to see how it works with more
Oh, here you can see Wanda. She opened up a door to a house full of zombies and skated away. Ultimately, my "cleverness" with using Wanda to move the zombies around meant more spawned. Which ultimately ended in us all being eaten :(
And in bonus news, i have been given approval to buy expansions from the household budget instead of my own pocket money. HUZZAH!
I backed the Season 2 Kickstarter for Zombicde 'cos I was gutted about missing out on Season 1, and have since found it great game for having as the centre of a gaming night with friends. Might perhaps need to play around with the equipment decks though- some of the stuff in Prison Outbreak and Toxic City Mall are just evil, especially with the mountain of survivors that you can build up with their various skillsets......
ReplyDeleteIt is an awfully cinematic game though ;)
I missed out on season 3 as well, will have to get this all on retail.
DeleteIf you haven't already seen them, ive painted up the zombies now.
