Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 6076522" data-attributes="member: 52734">Here's another one we recently tried out:ZOMBICIDE:  This game is the board version of Left 4 Dead.  Playing as one of several survivors of a zombie apocalypse, you take on different missions in your struggle to survive against unending hordes of zombies.  As you kill more zombies, you gain special abilities, but the "threat level" goes up, meaning there's more and more zombies to take down.  Woe to the group that lets one person get too experienced while the others lag behind...  The game comes with your typical shambler zombies (40 minis), runner/fast zombies (16 minis), fatty (tough) zombies (8 minis) and the nigh-unbeatable Abomination.   The rules are simple (though they've got some problems*) and the action is generally fast and furious - with lots of "oh-noes!!!" moments.  Best of all, the missions aren't "scrag 'em all" - the first one has you hunting the city for food and water and getting out of the city before the zombies overrun your group (which trust me, they WILL).  Most interestingly, guillotine games, which makes the game, has put together extra survivors (players) you can copy onto the blank side of the included character sheets and/or you can download their FREE app that not only tracks all the stuff for the characters (and does your dice rolls, if you're inclined), but includes all the characters - including the ones on their site.  Overall, its a great game with a lot of repeatability and customizability.* Cars are stupid good (though you can still get your arrogant butt hauled out of them and killed pretty quickly), the zombie-split-and-multiply when following same distance path rules is annoying and the target priority rules (with ranged weapons and cars: target survivors in square first, then zombies) is a little annoying considering how easily you can get overrun (even when you thought you were completely safe).</blockquote>
