There are a ton or reports on Facebook that this version is substantially harder than previous versions. There are even complaints of spawns being impossible to survive. I look forward to hearing about your plays of this version!
my wife and I played our first game the other night and we used over half of the brutes on the first zombie spawn. It was rough. And we are going to house rule the if one survivor dies the game ends rule for sure.
I think it's not as hard as is being said. I've now played Missions 0, 1 & 2 solo, with 4 survivors, and haven't lost a single survivor. The scenario's are designed for 6 survivors, so I was outnumbered. One big difference is that playing solo you get to choose who goes first, which might be a big advantage. Still I have only played the base game without extra abominations. Once we'll play it with 6 survivors, I'll add extra abominations to increase difficulty. I had a ton of fun! Looking forward to playing is with my group, and discovering the other missions.
All over the Marvel Zombie's Kickstarter is says there are 4 and 6 character Missions. So some stuff will be max 4 players and some stuff will let you get up to 6.
The minis and theme look amazing in this game. I'm so torn because I was so happy to back this all-in, until shortly after they announced Marvel Zombies and I don't know that I would have backed Undead or Alive if I knew Marvel Zombies was happening. I guess a few playthroughs, and time will tell.
I feel, from what I've seen of the newer Zombicide releases, I could see going all in with this one. The 4 Player mode, Campaign, just all of it together; yeah I can see this one having legs. Nothing against Marvel Zombies; I see this set and it's usefulness for maybe finally playing some Dead Lands with really cool figs. Just rambling...
@@davidyowow I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think it may have an option for 4, and you use 2 sidekicks. It's either that or a scaling option of some other form. In either light I know 6 still works
I just started the intro game and two brutes spawned in the first round, then an Abomination with four brutes in the end of the second round… Third tide could be a Zombicide cross over!
I think the only difficult about invader is that Abomination deals 3 damage while fatties deals 2 damage. In some zombicides, Abomination and Fatties deals 1 damage. The game is easier I guess because of concentrate fire. So which is the best of the 3? Marvel Zombies, Undead or Alive or Black Plague?
Well, we are enjoying a lot Zombicide Undead or Alive, although it's our first Zombicide game. Now I'm trying to get missing expansions (dead stock and ape/croc) and probably won't get them here in Latvia.
What kind of board game table do you own? It looks nice. I like how the table is almost level with the edges, vs the ones that have the sunken down play area .
I feel like they really need to focus less on characters and more on enemy variety. I think there are 60 playable characters there and 4 different types of enemies
Hope all is well Alex! Just an enquiry have you ever played hostage negotiator by van ryder games? I'm patiently waiting for final girl season 1 and 2!!
In our first go of this Zombicide my husband went into a house, triggered a card, an Abomination came out, grabbed him, and killed him in the first activation. We lasted only one round)
Usually when setting up a mission, you have to put the Abomination spawn point at a specific place on the board. And when an Abomination spawn, it does so from that spawn point… Did you do that or just spawned the abomination in the room where your husband character was?
@@Ederfb78 thank you for the comment, we spawned it in the room, because the card said so (it was part of the Gears and Guns campaign), but maybe we broke the rules here, will check.
Prison Break had a great first season and then not so much after that. For a second I was like man you really hated where Lost was going haha, but yeah Lost is one of my all time favorite shows, especially watching it live.
I find adding a daily mini to the group of Walker spawns along with their rules and only being able to kill it after the walkers aka MD2 style really adds to the variety in this. Also Thomas op Vade Retro skill should be nerfed by making the abominations immune to it. I have 1st edition, 2nd edition, this and Marvel Zombies coming but will definitely be keeping Undead or Alive still. 😎👍
A Zombicide WWII would be great.. tanks, artillery, and machine guns. :)
That would be an instant buy for me
Call of duty zombies
I've just joined the Board game scene and out of all of the Board Game youtubers, you guys are the best
Thank you! I appreciate it :)
I would like to see a Zombicide Pirates!
Ninja vs Pirates would be so awesome
There's a lot overlap between zombicide and rum and bones if you've not tried it.
@BoardGameCo Concepción is a pretty common name in many hispanic countries. It’s to honor Mary basically.

I wonder how such a thing got through play-testing?!

Watching any and all Zombicide content as I wait impatiently for Mahvel

Love it. If you have info on Shadows over Brimstone can you cover that game?
The metal dice came in a TINY white box so check the shipping box again you may have missed it. I almost didn't see mine.
The wheel chair guy in the steampunk extras is from the movie wild wild west I believe
Nice I got this all in as well.
I can’t wait it will be my first zombicide
The camera not capturing certain colors is probably the white balance settings on the camera itself, but you might also be able to fix it in post.
Saloon not salon xD I understood though
After unboxing myself and reading the rules. Im actually very excited to get this played!!
The minis and theme look amazing in this game. I'm so torn because I was so happy to back this all-in, until shortly after they announced Marvel Zombies and I don't know that I would have backed Undead or Alive if I knew Marvel Zombies was happening. I guess a few playthroughs, and time will tell.
The metal dice are amazing.
Just received our pledge, looking forward to playing it
Did you get a notification of your pledge shipping? waiting for mine in Boston.
Concepción means conception indeed. Is a common name in spanish and not that strange for a nun as it comes from Inmaculate Conception.
Yeah, it's better to pronounce it in Spanish than using the English word 'conception'. :)
Westworld is utterly incredible!!! Agree the first season was the best though
Yep, first season was straight fire.
Zombiecide undead and alive , unboxing or rambling
Alex rambles and doesn't unbox, leading to Zombiecide to be in both undead and alive states

I think this one is still designed for primarily 6 players?
@@davidyowow I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think it may have an option for 4, and you use 2 sidekicks. It's either that or a scaling option of some other form. In either light I know 6 still works
Is that a salon or a saloon?
I just started the intro game and two brutes spawned in the first round, then an Abomination with four brutes in the end of the second round…
Third tide could be a Zombicide cross over!
The abomination kept getting activations which got me in the end…

The game is easier I guess because of concentrate fire. So which is the best of the 3? Marvel Zombies, Undead or Alive or Black Plague?
Props go cmon foralready getting marvel zombie pledge core boxes shipped out. Wish I got in on it
Ty for the video!
Well, we are enjoying a lot Zombicide Undead or Alive, although it's our first Zombicide game. Now I'm trying to get missing expansions (dead stock and ape/croc) and probably won't get them here in Latvia.
Have you kept all the expansions for both Black Plague and Green Horde? I loved your recent video on how you mix the sets.
I was just about to go on a tangent about Lost lol
Lol
Kinda funny you didn't mention how the reins on the horses are a bit of a fail

It makes me think about the unspeakable box and how ridiculous that one is, but I want Dagon.
Always another coffee. ALWAYS.
That's what I'm saying.

@@foxysolod I didn’t play the Gears and Guns expansion yet.. so, maybe you did right.
Did you push the head back? 😅
This apparently is the hardest Zombicide. I only own 2nd edition and it's fun, but quite easy.
Still waiting on my tracking #
Had me scared on the "Not keeping Marvel Zombies" haha

I'LL TAKE IT!!!!
My favourite zombicide so far🥰 until marvel zombies arrives?🤔😀
Hey Alex! Yeah... Concepción (Conception) is a rather old fashioned Spanish womens name...
Go figure...
Totally did not know that...
@@BoardGameCo There are many weird names... (pretty old fashioned)
Dolores (pains)
Coffee is empty 😂
you rush it too much but okay
Let me buy it from you
I have to play it first :)
Other than Bernie and Ruth, who are the other political figures?
