dvang Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 My copy of Zombicide Black Plague (Core Set) arrived just before Christmas, and I have been able to get a few games in. In a nutshell, it is a significantly improved version of Zombicide with a fun re-theme. Much is similar, but there are also some key differences. Notably armor and necromancers, but there are a few more (like only hitting friendlies on misses). Lots of fun, and I think I like it more than the original Zombicide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yeah I'm waiting to try mine when I get home from vacation. I got the 2 most recent expansions as well so I see a lot of this in my future. The little tweaks have me excited but I don't think it's going to be so much better that I stop playing regular zombicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 That's where I came down, awesome revamp but I'm not going to quit the other. Armor saves and not losing equipment when wounded were eye opening. Necromancer spawns are totally a thing but strategically removing spawns after killing a necromancer is awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkieft Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I was tempted because I really liked the changes they described, but I really did not want to drop the money on what is basically more Zombicide. But, I figure a few easy tweaks on Zombicide can see most of the new content added and improving the game greatly. Also, someone with both needs to build a campaign where Survivors in Zombicide eventually go back in time to fight the undead hordes in Black Plague... This is mandatory.... do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I was more stoked on the idea of the Black Plague heroes going to the future and doing drive byes with crossbows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashthedean Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Got in my first game of Black Plague this weekend and enjoyed the hell out of it! The added thematic elements definitely help me get into the game more and the rules seem a lot more streamlined. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the Kickstarter content and the expansion coming in as the one criticism I could level at the game is that it is a little thin on number of characters and variety of items after being used to the hyper-expanded regular Zombicide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Got in a game over the weekend as well. I love the redesign of the player tracking stuff. That plastic card holder and experience tracker is worth gold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
