Boardgamers! Zombicide! Yay or nay???

Post by hentzau »

OK, need a quick vote on this one. I'm getting ready to get rid of a bunch of games that I don't play very often, and I want to get your input on Zombicide. I picked it up last spring for like $5 because of a bunch of work I did running a game day at a local convention. I have never broken the shrink on the game. Sat in my basement unplayed. So...what's the consensus? Worth keeping?

My thoughts:

Pluses:
Co-op game. I like a good co-op game
Lots of minis. I like minis

Minuses:
Zombies. Not a fan of Zombies in general. I like Last Night on Earth, but that's about it.
Tons of already unplayed games. Zombicide isn't real high on that list to hit the table anytime soon.

So I'm thinking of throwing it in for $50 with a bunch of other games into my FLGS "yard sale" for store credit. Thoughts? Am I missing a gem here?

Look! I can put in a poll!!! Answer quick, my wife is bringing the games to the store tomorrow! (Friday!)

Both chrisoc and I have and like Zombicide Season 1 and Season 2. If you ever get the feeling you want to play, call one of us! But it's a lite, fun game with some rules quirks to keep the mechanics working right. Best with casual gamers who aren't going to argue about whether you should be able to shoot into a combat zone and not hit the survivor first, then the zombies.
