Marvel Zombies on a budget: Pick up Zombie core box at retail. Print Heroic trait cards and skip the Resistance box altogether. Replace multiple man, sprinters, etc with zombie minis from your other Zombicide games. Those minis are better anyways. Use spawn cards from other game or use S.H.I.E.L.D. agent spawn cards as your zombie spawn cards.

I have been following your videos for about a year now and your Chanel was one of the main reasons I got into board gaming. One thing I’m hazy on and can’t seem to get a clear answer on is how to resale games. I early on went on a buying frenzy trying to buy as many games as possible to fill my shelf lol. Half of them I have learned are not games I would ever play again. A video detailing from beginning to end how you go about reselling your board games. Like all the way up until u drop it off at a ups store would be really helpful! Thanks again Alex!

This campaign was a great negative example of "less is more". I'm a completionist so when CMON started adding extra stuff to the campaign - as expected - I was seriously considering backing this project but the more they added the less enthusiastic I got. I love Marvel and I'd be happy to play this game but the thought of spending money on a pile of plastic that I won't be able to store was scary. Galactus is ridiculous but even without it, this game is way too much. If I buy just the core game I won't be satisfied because of the content I'm missing out on, if I buy it all I won't be able to store it anywhere and it will be a burden. Most CMON games had the same issue when the real content is on the boards and cards and all could fit in one box giving the players infinite variety but I can't have that unless I buy all of the plastic with it. I was ready to spend up to £200 but I'd rather have none of it now. I'll just play on TTS for free thank you very much.

My feelings exactly. I was very optimistic and excited to begin with but as the $ went up my hesitation increased. It got to the point where I decided that if I can't have it all (without slaughtering my wallet) I don't want to have any of it at all. I wholeheartedly hope everyone who stuck with it enjoys it, but it's simply far too rich for my blood.

Thank you for the video, really. I have never play Zombicide (once the first ed when a friend backed it, but I don't really remember anything). So I was concerned about how much I would like it... but is Marvel and the miniatures are awesome. I originally selected the Galactus edition, I have the money but still was feeling bad for wasting it. So many cool expansion have been released that was thinking of changing to the Hunger pledge instead and say bye to Galactus. This video truly bringed me peace. I have finally lower it to the first pledge and only added the artist exclusive pack. All the rest I can take it later if I like the game for a much lower price, and the few extra exclusives do not truly make me feel bad. Galactus is still awesome though, and I will be envious seeing you unpacking it hehe

So happy I'm not interested in this at all, saves me a boatload of money haha. So many amazing games can be bought from that amount. I've really changed on that since I started with the hobby. With Massive Darkness 2 I was very excited and did a big pledge, but since then my interests and priorities with boardgames have changed, I'm trying to get not too big ones but with better gameplay, so a tradeoff between storage and quality of the game. I feel now it's just way too much stuff, both Massive Darkness 2 and this one even more so probably. So I'm going to sell on my Massive Darkness 2 pledge without opening it. Also part of the decision is the FOMO practices of CMON, which I'm trying to avoid now.

@reznor_59 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure that the resistance pledge is such a bad deal. The typical base game usually runs at about $90 but there’s usually only 1-2 multi pour minis in that and there’s never been modeled bases. Now every mini has a modeled base and a significant number of them are multi pour designs too. That’s before accounting for the IP. I would not be surprised if the base game(s) of this actually retail at $110 typically. Possibly more, if you look at the fact that green horde is usually $100.

@npckse8508 2 жыл бұрын

This was excitement, followed by revelation for me. This was the campaign where I just simply said, nope, no more. I have all of Invader and haven't tabled it yet. I have so much stuff and Nemesis Lockdown arrived today. I just don't need another massive thing like this. For CMON, I may be done until they do a new seasons of Cthulhu Death May Die. They offer all sorts of cool stuff, but I think I am full up on minis. So this campaign is impactful. Not only did I not pledge, I ended up not buying a copy of the all-in for the Great Wall. I really feel like I am turning a corner. All this and Perseverance and a ton of other stuff is on its way to me.

Kind of makes you envious with someone who plays 5000 hours on Skyrim - with lots of mods etc - works out super cheap . For the $800 all in - you can get 10 to 30 odd great games - already highly rated. The only thing is C'mon on core is normally good value + can sell expansions and get the core for near free . It's mainly about socializing with friends etc - Someone into car racing - could chew through $500 bucks in 1 night on tires or whatever. But you are right each year bigger and better , or just more games coming out - plus you also want to join that social league, go hiking , do macro-photography, build stuff , read more books etc . My take is back a few that really grab you - pick up other good stuff on sale when proven . I suppose you could set up 2 budgets for the year - 1 absolute money , 2 absolute time - then fill those gaps with existing or coming

And as much as you are a hypocrite in that respect, you always try to make sure others don't make the same decision that you do unless they truly have come to that decision after a good amount of thought. It's a realistic struggle that I don't think I have seen anyone discuss as much as you.

I am angry with myself for backing the Devourer Pledge because I'm clear-eyed about how ridiculously overpriced it is. That being said, this set is a love letter to my childhood. Marvel comics and zombie movies were mainstays of my imagination growing up. Buying this means that there are probably a half dozen other (and possibly better) games that I won't be buying this year, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering my backlog. This may also be my last kickstarter, and will most likely be my last Marvel game. I'm all Marveled out after this. If next year CMON shows up with DC United, or DC Zombicide, on the other hand, I can't make any promises.

This much content deserves a deeper and richer gameplay experience. That would ensure you'd keep coming back to the crunchy decision making long after its release and without even needing new content. Yes, this campaign offers near infinite combinations of characters etc. but why would I care about that if none of drastically alters how I approach the game. Spirit Island is the perfect example for this. The gameplay is so juicy that simply changing a few variables (Spirits, adversaries and different events) completely change how you approach the session. I don't see that here at all.

I had little interest in this but have backed for $1 since the reveal of the Sinister Six box with a versus mode. I thought this IP would lend itself perfectly to being a player v player game rather than just a lazy reskin of Zombicide (which I generally enjoy). As it stands I'd likely only up my pledge to $180 (depending on shipping) to cover the main game, sinister six and all the exclusives then getting the XMen expansion at retail. I'm dissapointed to see they haven't done a cheaper version of the Galactus optional buy that replaces the huge mini with a card board tile. CMON failed to do this with the massive Cthulhu mini in the Death May Die campaign and it effectively put gameplay elements behind a huge paywall.

So... I don't want Galactus, but I do want Silver Surfer... I'm wondering if I could sell Galactus for enough that it'd make sense to get the all-in devourer pledge. Hmm...

Hey Alex, can u tell me what size all the dice in the Zombicide games are? 12mm, 16mm or any other size? and do all released zombicides have the same sizes of dice or do they differ? Hope you can help me :P

This is both my first CMON campaign (tho I late pledged MUX) and my first Zombicide campaign. I'm going all-in.

@refreshdaemon 2 жыл бұрын

I found Zombicide to be decent fun but I was always fine with retail with most CMON coop games because I rarely cared about the characters to be interested in the exclusives. I wasn’t going to back Marvel Zombies at first because I didn’t want to be stuck with just playing as zombies… but being able to play as heroes and putting so many of my favorite characters into the exclusives and really packing the game with so many of them eventually won me over to the all in. I don’t think I’ll ever play with every character but I’ll be happy that I can mix up the ones I want every time I want to play Zombicide. Also, the other person in my game group that normally gets the Zombicides decided to pass on this one because they are into Crisis Protocol so I had to pick up the torch. If he went all in I was going to be happy with just playing or borrowing his copy.

I have a bad issues with FOMO. It wrecked me hard with the Marvel Xmen united. This one has taken a lot of effort not to go all in. Just doing 1 expansion and the artist pack (plus both games). Edit: this video really helped me. I canceled the resistance mode and added 2 expansions. I'll buy the X-men stuff at retail.

And here I am, with my 1$ pledge debating "do I event care about game?". I do love sculpts, I really like Marvel. But I don't crazy about the Zombie Heroes. I would like to play It one day, but it's much worse to decide what to choose when I care mostly about Heroes gameplay. I still wonder, if instead of Zombicide they would use DMD as a base system (with Thanos/Ultron etc. as Elder Ones), would It be a bigger hit? Very good video, hope I won't need it on the future. ;)

Hey Alex, great video! Regarding your remarks on the competitive mode, I want to mention that even if we don't know if it's going to be a good one, we have Marvel Crisis Protocol (MCP) out there that's already been enjoyed by a lot of skirmish gamers. And you can easily find the rules of MCP and the cards in PDF. Now, if you compare the price tags between Marvel Zombies (MZ) and MCP, it's a huge win for MZ. And I say that having made the maths this morning to know if this was worth it considering I have to pay 20% VAT in France. Based on that I still have a question for you and any member of this great community willing to share his or her opinion. Here it is: I know I'm getting the 430$ Hungry pledge, but I don't want to give up on the Silver Surfer that's included in the Galactus add-on (for which I don't care much otherwise). So what would be the smart move ? Get the 615$ Devourer pledge and sell Galactus or do you think I shouldn't get it and try to find the Silver Surfer on ebay or else afterwards? Thanks!

$240 pledge for me with Hydra + GotG expansions, so $330 total. I don't mind so much since I have the Undead or Alive coming this year that is going straight to eBay now. I don't need that much Zombicide since they withheld this game while running that campaign, which is pretty shady of them. It will be my last one from them for sure though.

As a person who already owned a Zombicide game, and also went all in on Marvel United and MU X-Men, I’m really struggling to convince myself to back this game. But after watching your video, I feel like getting the undead pledge maybe worth it considering I will get all the extras already with the lowest pledge. 3 more hours to go what do I do?!?!

Right now I'm thinking I get the base game with the Sentinel Strike, Fantastic Four, and Sinister Six. Sentinel Strike because it's KS Exclusive and I want them big purple goobers and Zombie Prof X. Fantastic Four because of what's KS for buying that box (I love Super Skrull and the three FF characters look amazing). And Sinister Six because Jssbus Crisps do you see that Zombie Mysterio Figure??!?! I still want to get the Resistance Box and other two expansions, but I can wait till retail. Like, I can just print out the Hero/Zombie cards that make Red Skull and Zombie Thanos playable, and there's only one KS Exclusive figure in each of those boxes that really does anything for me (one of which is She-Hulk, because I love her, but that Zombie version is kind of lackluster imo).

If you don't get any expansions but you do get the tile set, will you be able to play all of the scenarios that would of came with the expansions? I assume you might have to search for the additional rule books online in pdf format. Getting the core pledge for sure! I know i want the game someday and missing out on so many characters makes the retail version garbage. I might get the tiles if it means a lot more scenarios, also might get sinister 6 since i like those villains and the competitive gameplay adds a lot more content in the PM if i have the extra dough. Will get xman resistance at retail since I'm probably doing 1 wave shipping.

Not that I am getting any of this this but why don't they split certain bundles up. Like why is Silver Surfer only in the Galactus box. Offer a separate expansion with just Silver Surfer. Its the same problem I had with Mythic Darkest Dungeon Board game were character classes were stuck behind a full expansion. I feel like more people would buy if their were more options, as opposed to people buying just for a small thing they want.

They are pretty evil splitting characters between SGs and Expansions so you want both versions and have to buy the expansion or you will have that Human Torch/Starlord/Hawkeye/Dr Octopus taunting you
