Completed Zombicide: Black Plague

[Thes Hunter]

I blame Cash for the fact that I'm going to end up backing this. I mean obviously it's not his fault, but I'm blaming him anyway.

 

Good that means I can blame Cash too.

 

Maybe it will become a thing.

 

Like blaming beagle for KS Failures.

I think we might be on to something here ... I'll try and blame Cash, too, and see if I (or my wallet) feel better then ...

[Talae]

Wait, so I can blame Cash for my lack of cash? Deal.

[greyhaze]

Great, now I can blame Cash.

[Willen]

We can all blame Cash, and if that fails we can always blame ub3r

I thought Cash was going to blame Ub3r...

[CashWiley]

Nope, this one is all on me.

This is my first zombicide.... I can see with the expansion they say the game can play 10. Is that feasible without the game grinding to a halt and 9 players waiting for their turn to come around again while the current player Analysis paralysis's their way through their turn?

In my experience, all the table is usually involved since weapon use, order in the turn (and the first player to act changes turn to turn), how and where you end your moves is VERY important, and you all want to win. So most games is us all bouncing ideas to optimize a tactic, take what the board gives us, and sometimes deciding to sacrifice yourself for the better good.

 

But in regular zombicide, a 10-player game for us would easily last 3 hours I think, if the scenario is moderately complex (like get 6 objective markers, or activate something and THEN do something, for example).

[Thes Hunter]

I have no problem playing a game for 3 hours with 10 players. Usually my problem is I have 6-8 players looking to play a game for several hours... and we have to break up the group to play two games that play 3-4 each. 

[Willen]

Oh I don't have a problem either, I wanted to say that for us it is a very collaborative game so no really "idle" time for anybody. 

 

Our only problem with long games is that the little offspring plays with us, and when it is already late afternoon it is not a good game to use; 3-4hs would take us waaaay past their bedtimes.

Ok, the $100 pledge level says "all applicable stretch goals", the image literally just shows black plague box and hero box.  Are there currently no applicable stretch goals at this level?

[ced1106]

No, you get the stuff. Looks like they did this last year, too.

[cmorse]

I think the "applicable stretch goals"  is a hold over from when they had stretch goal that you had to pay extra to get. This time around they seem to be just adding the optional buys at certain points without listing them as stretch goals.

I just noticed that Army Painter has got a special Zombicide paint pack ... does anybody know whether the paints in this pack are truly different from their normal line of paints or are they basically the same colors you can get in their normal line but with a different name?
