Hmm... I hadn't even thought of that... well played

A few things I missed, that were apparently on the facebook page

The first expansion is rumored to be called Toxic City Mall


Ivy Sculpt


Cardboard Tube Samurai Sculpt

Toxic Mall zombies may or may not be cast in glow in the dark plastic.

Fine and dandy all, but what about Marvin and Eva? Yes, yes, tiresome to hear me ask about them, but I want to know.

I like Ivy. Very nice.

Played several games of Zombicide now, and it's been really fun and enjoyable. Now I have to download the extra missions and see how they play out.

Yeah I finally go a game in yesterday and it is pretty damn good even solo.

I can't find any FAQs anywhere - are there any?

My own questions;

I Have assumed survivors go back to starting equipment and zero experience from one mission to the next. Is that correct I can find no mention in the rules?

When you go to Yellow, can that survivor take the free action immediately? Ie on my third action a kill a Zed to go Yellow, can I now take a fourth action?

Is there any requirement for when to take free actions? And can they be combined with regular actions? Ie can Amy use her free move action with a regular action to leave a zone with a zed in it?

"Campaign" rules are introduced in the scenarios found on their site.

That's correct.

Yes.

Yes, she can use her free move action to move, and expend the regular action to escape the zombie.

There is a FAQ on BaordGameGeek, The Zombicide Forums on CoolMiniOrNot, in this thread, and in the first post of this thread.

Hmmmm. Hidden in plain sight you say - cunning buggers!

They've released the FAQ just now in PDF format, apologies if this has been linked before: http://guillotinegames.com/dl/zomb_faq_1.0_EN.pdf

SWEET !!!

I'll update page 1

I read a few times through the rules, and I am not sure whether I have missed this:

If a player loses all of his survivers, does he just get to watch the game while the rest of the players continue, or can he restart with a new surviver?

Is there another way to keep players in the game?

- Piousman

If you lose your survivors you're out of the game. Or you could, as we did, take over the zombies.

New mission! Wanda's revenge: http://guillotinegames.com/dl/Mission_A3.pdf

That's nice of them.

Oh cool! I missed the first two so thanks for that!

This is still the most requested board game at our house, every weekend since it came out basically...

New mission! Doug's Dream: http://guillotinegames.com/dl/Mission_A4_EN.pdf

New mission! Phil's Birthday: http://guillotinegames.com/dl/Mission_A5_EN.pdf

Wish they'd hurry up and get this out to European distributors :(

Thanks for the update BrookM. OP udpated.

I wish they'd stop being so secret about two characters we paid for.

I figure it's one of two things.

1.) They haven't worked out a new concept/sculpt that fans will be happy about and keep the IP lawyers at bay.
or
2.) They are going to release the original sculpts, and just took down the fiction, to keep IP lawyers at bay, long enough to get them released. After printing the initial run, they will be happy to comply with any cease and desist orders. Distribute what they have, and never reproduce them.

Usually I would be as impatient as the next man but I can honestly say i am so happy wih the basic game that i haven't given the extra bits (even the characters already received) a second look.

Loving' it even though the zeds keep kicking my arse!

Note to self: try to remember not to be near a spawn point when you go yellow. The sudden appearance of 3+ runners in the next square always seems to drag down a few (all!) survivors.

Yeah ive played it solo a few times now, its ridiculously hard! Opening buildings is horribly dangerous

Looking forward to playing even more new missions, a great well supported game for sure. Everytime we sit down to play there are new missions and campaigns to try out (or missions that we have not beaten yet from the original book). I can't wait to use Eagle! My wife always plays Wanda and Amy, my son always plays Nick and Cholo, so I have been struggling with the utility guys Dave and Josh usually. They may be the fastest and deadliest but I always am the last one alive or the one that bails us all out with double molotov action!!

I'd suggest using 6 characters, even solo. The book suggests 4 for solo play, but I feel the scenarios in the book all work best with 6. Playing with 4 characters usually ends with happy zombies.

Ah thanks for the advice, it made me think i was doing something wrong because it was so hard

Started a ZOMBICIDE GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD in the Board games section, so we can have a place to discuss zombicide strategy, customs, etc...
