Well it's good to know that those lucky so-and-so's who decide to get in to Zombicide at retail won't have that problem.

You have a misprint! It makes it more valuable then!

Put it with the Reaper Headless Townschildren and Noseless Steampunk Witch, as well as that stamp with the upside down plane.

So, the Simon Pegg character (Fred) is pretty well broken. Being able to 2-for-1 once per action is disgusting. The player using him, despite being the only player NOT picking up more than two weapons (claw hammer and smg) and not picking up XP tokens, was in the orange extremely quickly. Best character that I've seen so far.

So I don't know that this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking at getting into Zombicide and not really sure where to start. Should I get the original box or the Season 2 box, or both? Is it just new scenarios and characters or new rules as well? At this point would it be worth just waiting and getting in on the Season 3 kickstarter?

I own all 3 Box sets (S1, TCM, PO), all the add-ons (Reg, Toxic, Angry, Z-Dogs and Companion Dogs). Like you, while I LOVE this game and play it regularily, think it’s getting VERY bloated.

I bought what I did because I really didn’t know WHAT to buy.. If I was to purchase everything again knowing what I know now, I would combine S1 with TCM and pick up an Angry Zombie expansion along with the PO tile-set and call it a day. My Reasons are below:

I don’t feel PO is a necessary purchase. I think the ability combos on the survivors, and the new weapons make the game too forgiving of mistakes/lack of planning.

However; I REALLY enjoy the mix of Toxic and Bezerker zombies. Having some immune to range, and others to melee is a great mix. Simply picking up an Angry Zombies pack allows you to always have this mix and adds difficulty of the game due to not having the PO weapons to deal with them easier.

While not essential, the PO tile pack allows you to play all the scenarios and keep your games interesting.

The Zombie Dogs add difficulty to the game. Not necessary, but it adds more variety if that’s what you want in your zombies. I enjoy them being part of the mix of zombies.

Companion dogs and are quite powerful. While we like the idea of dogs, we stopped using them as the game suggests because it made it too easy. Instead, we now place 1 or 2 dog(s) in the equipment deck at random and that’s it. When its gone, its gone.

S1 +TCM + Z-Dogs and Angry Zombies are how 90% of my games are played.

Like I said I LOVE this game, but I like it because I enjoy the game being DIFFICULT and unforgiving. I found I didn’t enjoy it as much when I used the PO weapons, and UltraRed & zombivor mode. I didn’t have that sense that every decision I make could end up losing the game. I want the game to kick my ass most of the time, because then when I do win, it actually feels like a victory..

I truly wish GG would start putting out just extra tile packs. Hospitals, Outdoor tiles, landmarks, shipping yards, banks, military bases, ect, rather then more minis..

I find the gameplay is in the scenarios and the tile more then anything else. It would be great to have 10 different tile sets to pick up to keep the scenarios fresh.
