Good fun in a beer and skittles kinda way.

He's not dead, he's just resting!

Thanks. I'll have to look out for it. Looks like it would combine well with ale.

Yes they are boardgames, but, to play the Devil"s Advocate, only just. Because a big element of many new, so called, board games are the 15-28mm figures supplied with them, Anyway, I'm biased and with Penda on this, and to quote Sergeant Brad Iceman Colbert on this, anything smaller than 20mm is just downright Country and Western-Special Olympics-Gay.

Zombiecide isn't that great a game but the miniatures and artwork is excellent. Much prefered Last Night on Earth as a Zombie game, much less figures but the story plays out better I thought.

I enjoy both equally to be honest. I’ve recently bought some of the original Zombicide boxes after being introduced to it at the club, we had a massive game set up with 3D terrain, not the boards.

My daughter particularly enjoys it...

My work here is done.

Only just joined so catching up!
If you want to play something that looks like a battle, and don't have a village hall at your disposal, them 6mm is perfect (although 10mm comes close).

I thought you'd been a bit quiet!

I'm sure its only temporary.
