I look forward to hearing your thoughts on each game. It would be good to know how they rank up.

I am curious about zombicide as well. I pre-ordered Zpocalypse and just got it in the mail the other day. Can't wait until I can get time to play.

I got Zombicide through Kickstarter, and have had some great fun playing it. It's fast, fun and frantic. Very easy to pick up and play. There are a few ways to abuse the rules as written and make the game too easy to win, however, that would severely impact on the enjoyment of the game.

I don't see that it would ever replace LNoE as my zombie game of choice, but when I want to have a quick solo mess around and slay some zombies it's great fun. My wife even enjoyed the game she played with me.

I think it's more a gaming system. The most fun I've had is creating my own scenarios and adding in special rules specifically for them. Once the Season 2 kickstarter has finished and I have more tiles and more zombies, I am thinking of creating an interlinked set of scenarious, where your level, items etc. all follow through to a final epic battle.

A lot of people seem to have issues with the rules as written, specifically the targeting priority when shooting into a space with heroes. Essentially you kill your heroes before any zombies. I don't mind this rule as it makes you think about NOT leaving your heroes surrounded by zombies. I do have a problem with the car rules though, as to me they make little to no sense. I haven't house ruled them out but I think they should be fixed in a future rules update. I doubt they will be and I may house rule the car rules at some point.

If you want to see the game in action Watch It Played did a live playthough which has been since uploaded to youtube. It's very good and should give you enough information to make a decision on whether or not you want to purchase it for yourself.

I kickstarted Zpocalypse before Zombicide but it hasn't managed to make its way to me just yet.

EDIT:
If you are a miniature painter then Zombicide is pretty much a dream, as it comes with a tonne of fantastic miniatures.

I got Zombicide last week for my birthday and I would definitely recommend it to any of the undead here! The game is very intense, every turn the zombie army grows larger and larger and as you level up more zombies spawn and it gets even larger and terrifying and ahhhhh! Its a great game for the average gamer who may not have as large of a passion for zombie culture as everyone here and it is a tad bit shorter than LNoE which is usually a good thing for me at least! Its also great for Zombie fans obviously Watchmen02

I invested in their expansions on kickstarter already and I've only had the game a week. It truly is a great game. I would suggest watching some videos on it and getting a grasp of the game. If you love Zombie games this is one I wouldn't pass up.

But just so everyone knows zombicide will never take LNoE place as my #1 zombie game <3
