That's only 4 tiles? I thought it was 9! Wow, they're pretty big. Looking at the Zombicide S1 rule book, some scenarios actually do use 9 tiles?

**adamsouza**

Tiles are 9" square (23cm).

4 tiles makes for a short game. Either because it's really easy to exloper quickly, and snag all the objectives, or because the zombies spawn practically on top of you, and any extra activations are lethal.

**B0B MaRlEy**

Looking at the kickstarter page, I'm having a doubt.
There's a diagram showing what the 150$ pledge gets,
but does the 100$ one get all the stretch goals?
All of them except the ones giving extras related to the wolfsburg expansion?
Can someone clear this up for me, as the stretchgoals aren't explicitely saying "Knight pledge only"?

**ecurtz**

$100 pledge gets all the extras except for the single exclusive figure for the expansion. Even stuff like extra wolves that seem related to the expansion. I guess they could announce some expansion only goals later on, but they haven't on previous campaigns.

**B0B MaRlEy**

Alright, that's how I understood it, but I was afraid I was being too hopeful .
Thanks!

The Abominotaur is huge! that's a regular abomination in his hand! sculpted by Jason Hendrick (he also did the regular Abomination and Wolfbomination) he did this on his own initiative Guillotine Games didn't commission it but liked it so much it made it in.

I can't believe this didn't get more comments! I don't even know what to say about how huge that is for a board game

or really any gaming model.

This only comes in the $50 expansion, right?

Very cool, and the character sculpts look great - tons of detail on the masters! Almost too much, so I hope they convert over well.

So, with 80% of the backers from Z3 already pledged, no add-on characters so far, and 25 days to go and them already opening stretch goals up to 80k between stretches, how does everyone think they'll keep momentum or regain it once this slows down? It looks like they were caught off guard and have went to wider stretch goals much earlier than Z3.

This is really great stuff, just interested to see where it heads from here, with the inevitable slow down.

With over $1.5M pledged in 5 days, ZBP has pulled dramatically more than 2x the initial funding compared to Z3. It took 2 weeks for Z3 to break $1.5M, and SGs were the same $75k at that point. ZBP has wider SGs measured by time, but not by revenue, only because ZBP is funding faster.

Nope it was the $1,000,000 stretch goal and both pledge levels get it, it's not part of Wulfsburg. There is no KS exclusive icon so this will probably get it's own box set for retail.

**RiTides**

Wow, that's sweet! They should really show off how big it is because in that banner pic it looks just like any other Abomination type model... and it's anything but

**Talking Banana**

Not a hoax - this is what Kicktraq currently shows for Zombicide Black Plague. Don't ask me why.

**Akragth**

Yea, there was some issue with kickstarter, and the total did drop right down. Looks to have been fixed.

**Cyporiean**

It was a site-wide issue, Bloodstained reported about it as well.

**Nostromodamus**

I'm thinking there might be a maze tile expansion for the Minotaur.

**Theophony**

@Alex C, that would be cool, but as the Minotaur was a sculpt that the sculptor came up with on his own and Not an idea from CMON, I think that it will be a while. Though they could do an all Greek tragedy expansion for season 2 of Black Plague. They could have the Labirynth for the Minotaur to be in and the players try to get to an exit. Then they could do all the guests as Greek Gods and Titans, then have zombie gods

.

**Sinful Hero**

This is looking more and more like my first Zombicide foray.

**H.B.M.C.**

The tile set comes with 11 tiles, so that's nice. Might consider that then.

**Cergorach**

Isn't that Abominataur not a three up?

No, confirmed actual size.

Besides, if it were a 3-up, the production model would be tiny.

**DaveC**

hmmm bit of messing around going on with the current stretch goal

from the original email

Current KS update image

It might only be $5,000 but they should have left it or announcd they made a mistake.

**Theophony**

Must stretch the stretch goals out further if we're going for 3million+

**Sinful Hero**

Not sure why they would bother changing it in the first place- they're going to plow through it anyway.

**JohnHwangDD**

Yeah. It's kind of dumb to worry about $5k on a SG when they're going to pull another $M or two. Just bury it into the next SG.

I have always wanted to ask this.. what do you do with all of those tiles?

This is what I always imagined....

Hmm.. this my explain the golden glow that was coming from David's office the last time I was there.

**Salacious Greed**

I'm at work, so can't link the new SG and guest artist box, but I like the dancing girl zombie.

But I'm really not sure about the guest box...I know they're pushing it because they're going to publish the card game, but I'm not a fan of the drawings, and not sure how they'd look as miniatures...

Agreed, the illustrations don't look great & they don't grab me, so it's an easy pass.

Same here, but if only 10% of the current backers (10,380) buy it then that's still an approximate $20k bump to the total. Tell me there aren't that many completionists out there. So I've got to love any add one they toss out.
