Does anyone know of a good Zombie apocalypse based miniature table top game?

**Ironklawmadgutsmek**

Sorry no, but me and my brother are trying to write/develop one at mo, using The walking dead TV show as a starting point,. kind of around the idea that survivors are looking for resources, searching buildings, limited ammo,close combats, plus encounters with other survivor groups. . we are using the 40k base rules as a starting point, but have been changing stuff to a d10.. We are trying to make it easy so you can learn the basic rules in 5-10 minutes

Zombicide is a collaborative game in which players take the role of a survivor – each with unique abilities – and harness both their skills and the power of teamwork against the hordes of unthinking undead! Zombies are predictable, stupid but deadly, controlled by simple rules and a deck of cards. Unfortunately for you, there are a LOT more zombies than you have bullets.

Find weapons, kill zombies. The more zombies you kill, the more skilled you get; the more skilled you get, the more zombies appear. The only way out is zombicide!

Play ten scenarios on different maps made from the included modular map tiles, download new scenarios from the designer's website, or create your own!

Not a miniature game in the sense of warhammer ect but it does use miniatures and is a lot of fun.

**nikita2489**

You could try no more room in hell, it plays similar to a skirmish game with some roleplaying elements.

**Kilkrazy**

There are loads.

I haven't played any of these myself, so I advise you to read up the descriptions and reviews.

If you're looking for more of a miniatures game there's 7ombieTV from Crooked Dice.

There's loads more too.

Here's a photo of 7TV's set-up at Salute, it looked excellent

There are loads of scenarios out there for non-zombie games - this one for Infinity is great for instance, zombies with a sci-fi slant

I'd like to toss in a +1 for zombicide. The game is awesome.

**LuciusAR**

Zombicide is a great board game and I've heard good things about last night on earth. If your looking for a more traditional miniature ruleset I hear good things about All Things Zombie by two hour wargames.

Is that a guy in a chicken suit or just a giant chicken? Either way, cool!

It's a dead bloke in a chicken suit. I played this demo last year and it's awesome; the protagonists are a group of inquisitive kids that bear no resemblence at all to the Scoobydoo gang.

.

I tenth Zombiecide but also suggest ZombieTv for a more free form experience. The Action system has many great quirks and is similar enough to Warhammer so as to be be quite easy to pick up quickly by most gamers. (Note, you need 7TV to use the ZombieTV supplement).

**wilycoyote**

You could try worse than All Things Zombie and if ypu like it its supplements . Easy to learn once you get your head around Two Hour Wargames philosophy and provides quick easy scenario set up and with that a rolling campaign.

Welll worth a look

We have enjoyed a couple different rulesets for our Club's annual Halloween Zombie apoc game.

For two years we used All Things Zombie:

http://chicagoskirmish.blogspot.com/2011/11/escape-from-new-chicago-all-things.html
Was a good time to be sure, but it got a bit bogged down at points. It does have an excellent engine for determining zombie creation and reaction though.

However, my favorite was this most recent Haloween where we used a very slightly modified version of "Blasters and Bulkheads" (a "goalsystem" based game like Supersystem).

The goalsystem "henchmen" mechanic worked really well for mobs of zombies and the zombies were a bit more squishy so we were able to kill lots more.

I've played All Things Zombie, it's fun. Zombicide is also a really fun board game, but if you're looking for something more involved than that, you'll need to look elsewhere. Zombies are still a fairly big fad with gamers, so there's still an abundance of games catering to it.

Fear And Faith is the horror skirmish wargame from Ganesha Games, using their Song Of Blades And Heroes system. It's got zombies as well as werewolves, vampires, etc.
