The rulebooks can be intimidating but there’s so much zombie goodness in this box that I highly urge you to give it a try. What We Liked:
Dawn of the Zeds is a board game that keeps on giving. The deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the better the rewards. It’s a game that easily earns its spot on your shelf and keeps getting better every time it’s taken out to play.

Don’t let the title fool you. There’s actually very limited player interaction in Diplomacy of the Dead. Player interaction is basically limited to dice roll bonuses and (possibly) a player funneling zombies away from their territory and into yours. The locations themselves determine the difficulty you’ll face at each one. Each location has a value on it that determines how many zombie cards are drawn. Zombicide does an incredible job of building tension and scaling the game along with the player count. Zombie spawns are determined by the highest player’s level, so hiding behind one super-tanky character isn’t the best strategy. The numbers and types of zombies will scale with the players’ strength.
Its simplicity is one of its best attributes. Like Castle Panic. At its core, Dead Panic is simple. As a zombie-cooperative family game, Dead Panic fits all the bills. What Could Be Better: Last Night on Earth lets you experience (and star in) your own crappy B horror movie and it’s a hell of a lot of fun. The designers, however, were seriously committed to putting out a quality product and decided to revamp the rulebook and clarify a bunch of ambiguous rules. Through the fire and flames, a damn good game was born from the ashes of controversy. Anyhoo… The Walking Dead has numerous board games and spin-offs to choose from but I wanted to showcase this one in particular. The Walking Dead: All Out War is a miniatures skirmish game. That’s okay, though. Zombie outbreaks are known for being easy to quarantine… right? What We Liked:Where does the diplomacy come in? The name seems like a bit of false advertising but that’s my only real complaint, so let’s look at the actual game. Now if you’ve read through this and thought, “I thought you said this was hard?” I have some news for you. Technology will vastly improve your outlook on the zombie apocalypse. With the help of technology, your region can start to build zombie-proof walls, and entrench soldiers, or you can even start to manipulate the flow of zombies by preventing them from showing up on the board at all. The rulebook is… rough. There’s a lot of ambiguity in the core rulebook but fortunately, they’re a company that truly likes making games and seem to be in the industry for the long haul.
