From their site: “In The Walking Dead Board game, only the strong survive. The weak turn into walkers, and then turn against their former friends! Fight your way through zombie-infested Atlanta with your fellow survivors. Grab some weapons to clear a path. Visit destinations like the department store, the police station, old folk’s home, and the CDC. Find the tools you’ll need to live another day like weapons, allies, a car, or a swift mount. Take on the role of Rick, Andrea, or one of the other hapless survivors and scrounge for sweet weapons like a Shotgun or Crossbow. Keep your eyes open for new allies, but watch your back! When supplies start running low, it’s every man for himself. If you can make it back to camp with enough gear to defend yourself and those you still care for, you win!
Should you fall to the hungry horde of walkers, the game doesn’t end. When a player dies and becomes a walker, they leave the world of the living behind and seek out the remaining survivors. Spring surprise attacks on the living, cause the walkers to frenzy, or contaminate the survivor’s supplies. Put the bite on your former friends and they’ll join you in your pursuit of the living. As a survivor, you’ll work as a team with your remaining buddy to ensure the camp site stays protected. Share weapons and other resources. The fate of the human race is in your hands, either as a survivor or a walker. Test your surival skills and fight to live another day with The Walking Dead Board Game from Cryptozoic Entertainment.”

It’s unfortunate since the video game is being sung such high praise. Figured I would check the board game out. I will keep looking.

Watch the show, skip the game. There are much better zombie themed games in the market right now. This is hardly one of them.

This game lacks the strategy factor and game objects are simple paper figures. I wait for Guillotine Games’ “Zombicide” game, which look much more promising: Strategy and 71 scale miniatures.

I just think that this game is a waste of the brand name. If it was just a regular game, then great, but the bar is higher here.
Good detailed review, thanks.

Pretty much what I thought this game would be. I do like the other The Walking Dead game even though it, too, is not the best on the market. It has a bit more to it than this one does. Glad I haven’t purchased this one.
