Zombies!!!
This is a fun game where you compete against your
fellow human players to be the first to reach the helicopter and be evacuated
from a zombie infested town. One of the fun elements of the game is the
expanding map that brings new opportunities to collect ammo and life along with
additional zombie danger. Cards can help you or hinder the other players as you
battle through the hordes. Variants on the game include alternative areas such
as a Mall, and different game objectives to mix it up.
This is a new game that came out of the kick starter
investment program and is a two player game where you play a futuristic game
called Dreadball. Initially it looks a little like BloodBowl which in itself is
loosely based on American Football. The differences are though that there are three
score zones and a variety of different rules. The teams are also familiar with
humans, dwarves, scaven like rat folk, and orcish characters, but this might
just be to attract games familiar with these stereotypes as I understand there
will be some truly original races coming along in later issues.
Tactics differ depending on the race you are playing
and who you face. For example I was playing slow but tough dwarves verses
Martin’s also tough orcs and in the end we spent more time trying to kill each
other rather than scoring goals, whereas James’s with the agile and fast rats
faced Kevin’s human team in what turned out to be a high scoring game.
I find these sort of games difficult as I have a
problem focusing on the long play and get frustrated when I throw away an
opportunity.
This is a dogfight game set in the Star Wars universe
and the starter set gives you one X-Wing and two Tie Fighters along with the
counters, dice and rules. We played the quick game version that has a cut down
set of rules and is good to get you started, which is just as well as the full
set of rules does add quite a lot more detail to the game adding levels of
complexity and customisation that geeks like us could quite enjoy playing with.
It is an expandable game where you can buy additional models to expand your
fleet and you can alter the game to give you different objectives and expand
the longevity of the game.
