I'm in the same boat as Adam, Mainly using season 1, but survivors from toxic city as well. I haven't played rue morgue yet. My brother in law picked it up after we played season 1, but he didn't like it nearly as much and said he was going to give it to me

. I just scored prison outbreak for my christmas gift (first time my wife has EVER bought me anything gaming related, in 15+ years). I got the box set delivere (will be here friday) for $43.75 including shipping and tax. Not sure if I'll pick up the ultimate survivors 2 or not as I don't have set 1. I think I've got enough guys to use anyway.

We found the rooms in Prison break are smaller and they can get really congested with zombies. Still worth getting for everything else, but the tiles are not our favorite.

I find Prison Outbreak to be very much a difficult puzzle game. And some of those multi-room tiles were scary if you didn't clear them early; if you couldn't get to them until late game, pure death.

I like the design and flexibility of Rue Morgue better. I like that Rue Morgue has a mix of urban, interior and open tiles to play on. The single Zombie type is very clean, and the random spawns scale nicely.

The only thing I don't like is how the Survivor targeting is still messed up - they should have simply used the Crawler rule, and had 1s hit other Survivors.

I see that there's a new companion app, but one has to pay extra money for each thing after Season 1, even if you bought it for real?

No thanks. Deleted.

Just announced at #CMONExpo: #Zombicide Black Plague Season 2 is in development! More information in the future when the project is ready.

**Nostromodamus**

Hopefully season 2 will give us more regular zombies. We're always running out and getting ganked by extra zombie activations.

The 2nd Compendium book is out September 23rd

I found the first one fairly disappointing ...
Won't get the second one.

CMON has picked up the branding and intellectual property rights for Zombicide from Guillotine Games. The two companies have been working hand-in-hand all up to this point bringing you Zombicide, with CMON producing and distributing the game. Now they’re going to be even tighter as the franchise moves forward.

The director of Guillotine Games, David Preti, will also become the new Creative Director at CMON Limited. He’s said, “I’m pleased to see Zombicide in the hands of CMON, and I’m excited for my new role in the company while continuing to bring new, great Guillotine Games titles to gamers.”

CMON and Guillotine have had quite a winning formula for Zombicide, having raised over $10 million over the course of the various Kickstarter projects they’ve run. It will be interesting to see where the franchise goes from here.

So damn, it looks like Zombicide isn't dead. It's undead I guess ?

I was worried after Massive Darkness that they may have been all zombied out.

**JohnHwangDD**

Maybe they'll change Zombicide's shooting so that hits don't prioitize hitting other survivors.

Hello,

I have a question about the first edition and the bow. There it states "+1 damage for each 6 in the ranged roll"

I understand it that it gives this attribute to all range roll not only those with the bow.
Is this correct?

**adamsouza**

I don't have it in front of me, but I would assume if it is on the Bow card the rule applies to the Bow.

Zombicide in genreal does not have exploitable RAW shenanigans.
