Zombicide Season 3 Unpacking vol. 5

Unpacking continues! One of the stretch goals and nice add to the games was VIP-zombies. These peculiar creatures act as a normal zombies but A) have a completely different design and B) when killed grants a VIP-weapon! 

Zombies are packed nicely but IMO there is too many same sculpts in the box. VIP zombies should be unique and different but now there is only four different sculpts in 20 zombies. Don't get me wrong the minis are excellent but this has been such a great Kickstarter campaign that I just have to find something to criticize!

The VIP weapons are golden AK-47, pink M4 and new blades. As with the other small expansions, the amount of useless cards is big.

Lost Zombivors contains all the Zombivor version for the Rue Morgue expansion. Also there are rules to have some Zombivors as Lost. These creatures act as normal zombies but are much harder to kill (5 wounds) and when you manage to kill them you can search ANY weapon from the Equipmnet deck. Nice!

Minis are fantastic and I don't have a problem with that you have to buy a expansion to have zombivors for the Rue Morgue set (on the forums some have).

Ok, all of the small stuff have been opened. Next up, Angry Neightbors!

Zombicide Season 3 Unpacking vol. 2

Finally I got some time to close myself to the hobbyhut and open all the Zombicide boxes which have been waiting me over two weeks! Darn, time flyes!

First item to dwell in was the dice box. The box itself is sturdy and not too big. I can really see myself to use this although I have never ever thought that I would need one. There were also five stickers to be glued somewhere.

Next was the promo dashboard box which is the made from the same sturdy material as the dice tower. There is one hole for the boards and three little ones for, I guess, the dices and the experience trackers.

Then all of the promo dashboards, holy sh*t how many! There are 39 characters here and I want all of them!! Especially Claudia, Thiago, Rob and The Cardboard Tube Warrior are a must. Quick search from the Ebay reveales that the price of the Tube Warrior alone circles around 50 euros!? 

I was little disappointed that only the promo dashboard fitted in to the box because it woul have been nice to be able to place here also the kickstarter exclusive characterboards. Well, not a major let down.

 I´m really not into special dices but these are little bit different and will be used in my games. The pouch is well made and the logo is cool.

Here are the extra Crowz and VIP Spawn cards and also some Pimp weapon cards. I really dig the Thompson and the Wills Comet Launcher!

I have always though that this game screams for campaigns with experience and stuff and now with this Season comes the experience cards. There is nothing really special about these, I hoped something, well, more, but are a nice little add-on.

Last item was the Team Building Deck which really will come handy for the Season 3. There are always characters that all want to play so this resolves the problem nicely. Again, this isn´t ground breaking but very nice little detail for the game.

Next up: First look into the figures!

Whoah!?

I were on a business trip and look what was waiting for me at the door:

Holy cow how much stuff was backed into the box! And I didn´t even go all-in with the Kickstarter! So stocked! 

I guess I have to do some kind on unpacking post about this...

Ron and Bones is back? No, behold the Rum & Bones!

There are few things that I regret in my hobby career (and in life actually) but one thing is that I never invested in the Ron & Bones game by Tale of War years ago. It had magnificent figures which oozed atmosphere!

I don´t know anything about the game mechanics but I read somewhere that it was the one downfall of this game. So that opportunity was lost! But BEHOLD, (have you noticed that I like to use this word) one of the industry´s giants, CoolMiniOrNot, bought the rights of this game and is bringing it back with a new, cool and innovative name, Rum and Bones!

The figures seems to be slightly different in style but are still very appealing. You can read the early review from the Bite The Dice. If the rumours and the current trend is right we will soon have a new Kickstarter coming our way. I don´t like the idea because that means I HAVE TO GET THIS GAME!!
