Product Information

Now if you’ve read through this and thought, “I thought you said this was hard?” I have some news for you. In All out War, each player controls a group of survivors from the comics/TV show. Each character has their own stat sheet and can equip weapons. Over the course of a round, players compete for resources and generally get in each other’s way.

There’s a reason Resident Evil coined the term “Survival Horror”. With this terrifying board game, you’re in for a real treat.

This is a great addition to the Tiny Epic series. The game has multiple modes of play like cooperative, solo, and competitive, giving it high replayability. It’s also got good variability due to the character’s special powers, different map layouts, objectives, and missions. What Could Be Better: Resident Evil 2 does not hold your hand. I cannot tell you how many times I had to restart. I wasted my ammo, got eaten by zombies, and overall, got ripped apart. The Resident Evil 2 board game is a cooperative experience where players take on the classic roles of Leon Kenndey, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, or that one guy (Robert Kendo). The setting of the game feels very thematic, as you make your way from the Midwest to LA, salvaging what you can. Its art direction and components are superb, with each component looking like something you’d find in a zombie apocalypse. Bottle caps for tokens, “weathered” looking poker cards. Aesthetically on point. What Could Be Better:

There’s so much in this box and once you get into it, you can start to mix and match to create your own perfect apocalypse. Zpocalypse 2: Defend the Burbs, the sequel to Zpocalypse, is an interesting amalgamation of things. The board in Escape: Zombie City is also procedural. As players explore, more sections of the board will be placed so you never truly know what you’re going to find.Originally developed to assist the designer's daughter with her maths, the game has fantastic learning potential for players. It offers number manipulation skills by stealth rather than in a more traditional overtly "educational" game setting. What was designed with educational intent has become a great game for gamers and their families, and suits more experienced groups as a good warm-up or end of night filler.

So… surrounded by zombies, your neighbors pushing in more to your territory all the time, and your only defense is an ineffective military. What are you going to do? What can save you now? SCIENCE!!!Congratulations. You are now playing City of Horror, where this reshuffling of zombies can be compared to the world's most horrible game of musical chairs. Eventually, though, the music stops, and the survivors in an overrun building have one means of saving themselves. City of Horror is a modern implementation of 2005 game Mall of Horror, with an assortment of tweaks. The water tower in this is the old CCTV room. Zpocalypse is a fun mix of strategic decisions, campy scenarios, pre-combat strategy, and of course, hordes of zombies. It’s also cool that you can play this game cooperatively or competitively. What Could Be Better: Plaid Hat Games also designed a really cool story-driven mechanic called the Crossroads system. When players encounter certain events on a Crossroad card, another player will immediately pause the game and read from the card. It’s a fast-paced, real-time, cooperative, dice-rolling game in which you have 15 minutes to gather supplies from the surrounding area, return safely, and then escape. All the while, zombies are spawning around you and attempting to rip apart your safe house. Zombie games by nature tend to be cooperative but Dead Panic does it in a very simple and defensive way. All players live or die together by defending a single point. There’s no exploration or discovery just good old-fashioned zombie killing. What We Liked:

Tiny Epic Zombies has probably one of the coolest-looking meeples I’ve ever seen. Now you might be thinking, “How do you make a meeple cool?”. The obvious answer is: give it a chainsaw. Every clean corner of City of Horror's design fosters tension and talking, ultimately powering the game, making it thrum to life on your kitchen table. We've already mentioned the secret cards that both represent a dwindling resource (tension) and engender love and hate (talking), but they can also be played at any time at all, switching up the puzzle (tension) and enabling them to take a role as you canvass your friends for votes (talking). There’s basically a themed version of anything you can think of. If you’re into zombies, this one will be perfect. If you’re not, there are plenty of others to choose from. Every turn, zombies will be spawning and constantly pushing toward your population. Every territory you lose will also reduce the number of action points available. At the beginning of the game, you’ll be at your strongest and it’s only going to go downhill from there.City of Zombies is a one- to six-player, cooperative, dice-rolling game by ThinkNoodle Games that challenges players to use math to stop an advancing zombie hoard. We also got a copy of the expansion Times Square. Initial Impressions Don’t let the title fool you. There’s actually very limited player interaction in Diplomacy of the Dead. Player interaction is basically limited to dice roll bonuses and (possibly) a player funneling zombies away from their territory and into yours. Where does the diplomacy come in? The name seems like a bit of false advertising but that’s my only real complaint, so let’s look at the actual game. As a game, it's partly so emotive and exciting because of the binary nature of success. There is no slow amassing of points, no chipping away at some greater task. There's just one of your guys getting eaten, or you giggling outrageously as someone else gets eaten. Every second of every turn, there's only one question: "ARE YOUR BALLS IN A FIRE Y/N". If they are, you're terrified. If they're not, you're laughing. The locations themselves determine the difficulty you’ll face at each one. Each location has a value on it that determines how many zombie cards are drawn.
