Zombicide - Black Plague - Christmas comes early......

Working from home this time of year can be a little tiresome, it's seems that almost every hour there is another knock at the door with various parcels, my wife is actually on first name terms with the Amazon man....

Then out of the Blue...... finally a brown box with my name on it..........


I only played the Modern Zombicide once, but found it to be great fun.
Although the club won't let me play any more after rashly triggering an increase in the zombie levels that got everyone killed.


Perhaps it will be difference as we step back in time. Black Plague takes us back several hundred years, this time around, death stalks the land as Necromancers summon the undead to wreak havoc upon the world.

Gone are the guns, knives, baseball bats, now you can set about the undead with steel, arrow and magic spells...... for me it has a real old skool D&D feel to it....

 

The game comes with some lovely dashboards to hold all of your items and track your Experience/Danger Levels which makes it easier to organise your characters. Each character is stored in it's own holder with place holders for weapons and equipment.
 

Well presented and very well put together. Zombicide has restored my faith in Kickstarter's.... Alien Dungeon take note.....


Forget Christmas palour games.... A real game for all the family.....
And as we are all on the same side no arguments...... let's hope I learned the leasons from the last club outing !!!!!

  6. Hi Stu,

    That does look like fun. I'll be happy for a game over Christmas before you wipe the club out again!
