Zombicide has been dethroned as the biggest CMON campaign, but soon it will have a chance to retake its crown. We hope you will join us again for our next Kickstarter campaign, coming at the end of May: Zombicide: Green Horde! This sequel to the smash hit Zombicide: Black Plague, will bring players back into a world of deadly medieval fantasy, this time filled with infected orcs and goblins who will put survivors to the ultimate test. This green menace is not only stronger than their human counterparts, but they also tend to gather into massive hordes that ambush the survivors when they least expect it. Uncover the many surprises the Green Horde has in store for you!

Black Plague and Massive Darkness did nothing for me, but Green Horde might be worth getting.

5/1 update:

Zombicide: Green Horde is coming to Kickstarter on May 30, and only the brave need apply.

Hmmm. Would have personally preferred it was just regular orcs and goblins attacking without the zombie angle. But then I guess it wouldn't be z-cide if you ditched the infection.

**JohnHwangDD**

Exactly. It'd be Massive Darkness.

**Theophony**

Glad I only went $1 on Rising Sun, now my feeble gaming funds can go to another zombicide splurge

.

I'll bet there will be Ork/Goblin heroes.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Green horde... green... lizardmen confirmed?

At least I know I'll get a LOT of bang for my buck in a Zombicide campaign.

Even if I never use 2/3 of it.

**rabidaskal**

So happy i didn't for rising sun which tbh looks excellent, but ZBP is a much better fit for my gaming group, we've had a ton of fun with it.

**Kamsm8**

ZBP, Massive Darkness, and this could easily provide a ton of miniatures for some cool RPG games. Or re purposing the rules from Walking Dead: All Out War to a fantasy theme.

**Rich711**

I hope they continue with the tradition of having exclusive heroes being homages to film and t.v.

**Barzam**

Meh. I want them to do a Zombicide in Space.

**Aeneades**

Really looking forward to this but space is becoming a concern even before the 4 or 5 big Kickstarters I have outstanding arrive. May finally be time to sell off my complete original zombicide collection as haven't played in so long and it's taking up an entire set of shelves.

**Mymearan**

After my disappointment with the gameplay of ZBP (my first Zombicide) I will definitely skip this one. I almost did Massive Darkness but as I was kickstarting several other dungeon crawlers (Darklight, Kingdom Death) that one had to go as well. The minis also have such a distinctive style that I had a hard time seeing myself using them in another gaming system, they would look out of place with my other stuff.

**Skinnereal**

I may have the go-ahead on this, despite not having tried the first ZBP expansion yet.
Still, there's a bit more space in the crate...

**Undead_Love-Machine**

I have too many Zombicide games that don't get played enough already, this one's an easy pass for me.

I asked CMON at a con about Futuristic Sci-Fi Zombicide and said only BP2 was scheduled so far.

**Nostromodamus**

Definitely getting a buck from me for PM access.

But with swarms of bug-like aliens instead of zombies.

**AAN**

Being the die hard Zombicide fan that I am I will pledge it, but...

I can only second this, I had high hopes for a Z game by CmoN in a SF setting.
Fantasy is my least favorite setting, SF, Modern come s1st for me.
Unfortunately the BP gameplay was better...

**Binabik15**

I don't think I can stash another CMON boardgame with KS freebies. One of the reasons I passed on Rising Sun.

And the heroes look like worse versions of the BP crew from what I can see. I'll probably pass.

That is my problem as well. I went big on Black Plague and most of the freebies/add-ons are still in their shrink wrap. I have only played the base game and while I enjoy it, I haven't scratched the surface of what I have for BP, so adding more seems unnecessary.

Also, add me to the list of people who would love a Sci-Fi Zombicide!

**Elbows**

I love ZBP but I have so much for it and I bought into Massive Darkness so I honestly don't feel any push toward this. I know it'll be a ridiculous deal...but I'll probably shy away from this one (I say that now...)

**Hulksmash**

For this I'll do what I normally do. I'll buy the base pledge. I've cleared out all the other Zombicide stuff except for BP so I'm good with keeping that stuff around for a bit. Even if it is all mostly still in shrink wrap.

**JohnHwangDD**

For CMoN / KS games, I'm basically only getting core games now. I'm pretty sure I don't need another Zombicide or Fantasy game, but I'm curious to see what their take is going to be.

**Pacific**

Am a little bit disappointed there isn't a bit of a wider scope with this (someone mentioned Zombicide in space, which would have been fun!), but will definitely watch this with interest and see what comes out of it.

Out of interest, can I ask what you didn't like about the ZBP gameplay?

I thought it was an absolute riot, can't tell you how much fun I have had with a few friends and beers with that game on a Friday night!

**JohnHwangDD**

CMoN might be a little gunshy over Zombicide in space, as that's awfully close to Sedition Wars.

**endtransmission**

Zombicide Wild West would be fun if they do not want to try for space

Would probably end up being a little steam punky, which could be cool.

**Elbows**

I'd actually like them to leave Zombicide and start on more games. Zombicide is great fun, but I can't see much length in beating the same drum so many times --- I am glad they did BP because "modern" zombies bore me to tears.

So if they're chasing new blood with new genres, neat...but I'd much prefer seeing more games being generated instead.

**plastictrees**

Massive Darkness had Orcs and Goblins. I assume those will get rules in this game just like the undead stuff from BP1 received rules in Massive Darkness.

**MLaw**

Hard pass. KS fatigue, lack of space, more of the same.. too many reasons beyond that. CMON needs to either slow their pace or learn a new song. They're getting kinda AC/DC with these now..

I get what you're saying.. but since McVey is in the fold, why not embrace the resources and really go after it with everything they've learned. While I am sick of the one-note wonder, I do think hanging the SW concept on a tried and tested system would do them a lot of favors. Just my .02
