As a big fan of the TV show I picked this up at Recon in Pudsey on a whim. I had missed the Kickstarter.

What a great game, perfect for me and my lad, nice rules, great minis. Worth a look.

I have done a quick review with photos of the contents down at Yarkshire Gamer. Looking forward to getting the brushes on them myself.

Cool review! I've been looking at everything I can to inform my decision on whether to purchase this or not.

I've got a few editions of Zombicide, so I am not short on walkers. Generally, my frustration with Zombicide is that I can't plan for my team to mitigate "extra activations" by runner zombies. In TWD, you can position yourself between obstacles, or "sneak." I really like the threat level mechanic and this concept of managing the fear or characters break away and do something random. Eugene will probably have an extremely low tolerance.

Also, it appears to have encompassed the peril of using ranged weapons; the noise raises the threat level, there is a chance of running out of ammo.

Very curious as to whether or not Negan, Michonne and Abraham will get individual expansion boxes. Really like the "X-Wng" type idea of new scenarios and team building with new minis character and equipment cards.

Cheers Dice man, at the moment it looks like Negan etc are just part of the Kickstarter with an option to get the figures for "free" via the Mantic Points system, which shouldn't be an issue if you are getting the boosters.

They have already shown are future versions of Negan (seen one additional sculpt so far with him running / swinging) and Michonne (seen a new sculpt with her two walker pets and one dressed in black with a machine gun). They will also definitely have a new Abraham within the next 18 months.
