    Wait Im actually kinda confused because early on it was stated in the making of this game by cmon that your character strikes determine how many zeds your taking out so therefore when you have a two strike character in a zone that has three zeds unless there are fatties or a boss then you'll have to use two actions out three to clear it unless you're character has three strikes which will only require 1 action

    I'm not part of the Dice Tower team, but since this hasn't been answered yet, I'll chip in: The box contains the components for up to 4 players. The "full" version will have components for 6. However, you should be able to play with 6 if you improvise. It might feel cramped, though.

    I love how congruent this game is... All zombicides before felt odd to me, a combination of too complex and too simple elements that never mixed well, like for example you have to always control 6 characters (what a pain) but at same time the game being a bit repetitive and uninspiring in its mechanisms. Or how it is a "light" game but with a ton of components, specially if you have any KS extra stuff. This box is just right with a very cohesive identity. It is a simple game, with a cool theme, but a game that wont take a ton of space and will be easy to bring to the table. This makes it the best zombicide game so far.

    Nice review, thank you. It would be awesome for gamers like me (I can't be the only one!) if games would, like this one, employ more standees or tokens in place of miniatures, particularly if that would bring the price down. I'm often interested in a game, but turned off by the high price and which I often have to assume is due to the inclusion of gobs of minis. I actually prefer standees (since they come in full color), but maybe I'm in the minority on that. More standees. Fewer minis. Lower prices.

    I hear ya and agree to an extent, but I feel like CMoN's entire business model relies on the minis, especially since it's in the name of the company. I think CMoN would rather go out of business than use standees and tokens in place of a minis horde.

    I like the mixture of miniatures and standees for games as well. I do enjoy painting a realistic number of mini's but find it overwhelming at times when you get tons of them. Battletch does a good job of giving you a mixture of Mech mini's and standees. I picked this game up and will enjoy painting the superheros.

    Whole-heartedly agree and from what I've seen I'd say the majority would prefer standees over expensive miniatures. I don't paint miniatures so I prefer the look of standees anyway. But miniatures are an excellent way to increase prices and they take pressure away from game design since the minis are the selling point. Kickstarter is a haven for board games with poor game design with tons of expensive, cool minis.

    Because the entire inspiration for the game was the Marvel Zombies comics, in which the main characters are zombified versions of heroes. They may not have predicted how many people wanted the toothless boring version where you play standard Zombicide with a Marvel coat of paint.

    I agree. Wish they would have put as much effort into Night of the Living Dead or at least something that is classic zombies, like make a Dawn of the Dead if Night was the beginner game. The Marvel theme is just bad and taking advantage of what is popular right now. Marvel fans deserve a good co-op game but this theme is basically just extracted from a "what if" episode that was probably only created to sell a board game. Too bad all the gameplay improvements are relegated to this edition.
