Can anybody please refresh my memory as to the chronological order of the expansions? It seems like a few of them came out within the same year, so I was kind of confused as to which came first.

I know Growing Hunger was the very first expansion. Which one came after that? What was the order in which they all came out?

When I next pick up one of the expansions, I was kind of hoping to make the next one I get be the Hero Pack 1. However, does it require you have Survival of the Fittest first? In other words, I know it comes with some new cards and a new scenario... does any of that require having Survival of the Fittest, or can you get Hero Pack 1 first?

Do you own Growing Hunger? Are you tired of the current Heroes or do you want to expand the game mechanics? If you are still enjoying the game and don't need to introduce new elements get hero pack one. Survival adds a lot of new elements and it can be overwhelming at first.

Actually, I just got Growing Hunger for Christmas. So, I'm not currently tired of anything. ;-) LOL! (Actually, I don't think I could EVER get tired of this game.) But, I just ask because I want to be prepared for when I next get an expansion.

As it is, it sounds like you are confirming for me what I am thinking I want to do next anyway. When I next get an expansion, I'm thinking I want it to be smaller and not change the game that much this time around. I just got Growing Hunger, which adds quite a bit of cool new stuff to the game. So, even though my next expansion probably won't be until maybe my birthday again in June, I'd rather get one of the smaller ones that time rather than add a whole bunch all over again.

So, sounds like I will be going with Hero Pack 1. Are you supposed to have Survival of the Fittest before Hero Pack 1, though? In other words, do any of the cards and/or the scenario included require anything that SOTF added, or am I okay to get Hero Pack 1 next with just the base game, Growing Hunger, and a few of the Web Supplements?

I'd save "SOTF" till last, get the Hero pack and the web scenarios to add more zombie/hero cards till then.

Awesome.

After Growing Hunger, I may go straight for Survival of the Fittest. I think I should get all of the major expansions first (excluding Timber Peak, which I plan to get last), as soon as I can, then move on to the smaller expansions and supplements.

StayPuft · 01-09-2013, 08:59 PM

Samurai, that is awesome! Thanks for adding that. Cool to see a list of all available scenarios.

I love how we have two completely different perspectives in this thread! There is no right or wrong way, just what is right or wrong for you personally. ;-)

On the one hand, my plan is to do what LSD is suggesting. I want to get Survival of the Fittest last (of the ones before Timber Peak, anyway) because I just got Growing Hunger. So, when I next expand on my game, I don't want to add quite as much new stuff, because then that way I can look forward to the bigger expansion again, rather than getting all of the big ones out of the way and then just having the smaller ones to get.

On the other hand, a lot of folks are just like Rullys and instead like to collect the big ones first. Absolutely nothing wrong with that either. ;-) But, I think it is really cool that we can share our own perspectives here, to help out anybody who may be on the fence as to what order they want to use.
