Zombicide!

Got Zombicide Prison Outbreak for xmas, planning on playing with mates tomorrow so just went through a practise run of the tutorial mission solo to make sure I've got the hang of the rules. Turns out I need to pay more attention, forgot to spawn any Beserkers :p - I did kill most things inc Abomination with melee anyway!

Really good fun even playing solo, so looking forward to a big game tomorrow.

Not sure if the rules are different with Prison Outbreak but Season 1 the only way to kill an Abomination is with a Molotov.
 
So the game with my mates yesterday, first time any of them had played it and they all ready enjoyed it. Was the first time I've ever failed to complete the objective though!
We all ended up hitting max level as we spent too long searching over and over for a molotov whilst slowly racking up kills including a pair of Abominations and then right at the end we had 3 xxx zombies get an extra turn cards in the space of 5 or 6 zombie spawns which just utterly ruined us. Good fun :D

That don't sound right mate might want re check your rules, all suv hitting max lvl is rare...you spawning every turn and in rooms?
 
Don't think we did anything wrong. Spawning at spawn points each round, spawning in rooms every time a 'chain' of rooms is opened for the first time as I've seen in other games I've taken part in.

Think it likely comes down to the fact that we dragged the mission out far more than we needed as it was fun, plus with 6 objectives on the board and 2 Abominations we got a tonne of bonus XP between 4 player characters.

Ah i forgot that you get 5 points per objective, should only ever be 1 Abomination on the board btw unless your playing house rules :P

I'll have to double check that later! It was one Beserker and one normal. I know that if you have a second spawn it is replaced by Fatty/Walker combos - even though that rule kinda clashes with what is said in the "running out of zombies" section where they get extra goes!
 
I recently purchased the walk of the dead #4 extra zombie pack as I kept running out of blinking walkers and getting overrun. Will be getting the expansion for it in the coming months although the gf is moaning that we have bought too many board games in the last month (Zombicide, Forbidden Desert, Forbidden Island, Munchkin, Cluedo, Castle Panic and Pandemic)
 
Bought Zombicide as we didn't have a copy. Usually play at friends who has the expansions too (and has painted all the miniatures).
Didn't buy any other games over Christmas. Got bought a fair few however so need to find time to play them (and backed Rum'n'Bones).
 
Bought the Season 1 Compendium book for Zombicide last week. Got some really good missions in it. Also shows you how to set up the equipment and spawn decks properly for a REALLY tough game. I really recommend picking up this book if you can get your hands on it.

Also, I missed the Kickstarter for Season 3. Does anyone know when the general retail release is for it?
 
Well went to a friends house for dinner last night and when he was at mine the other day he had a look through my games and asked me to bring "That Zombie game" over as he was interested in giving it a go. We finished the first tutorial mission after dinner and he was instantly hooked and wanted to play another one, Unfortunately we did not have the time as it was nearly 10pm by this point so we are arranging it for another day but its good to get someone else interested in it. He is also a pretty good artist/painter so has offered to potentially paint the models for me.
