My favorite horror film of all time is the original 1979 version of "Dawn of the Dead". I remember seeing that movie countless times in the movie theater and it remains my most watched film to date.Recently picked up Zombicide and love it. It gives me everything I want in a zombie game: Co-op, lost of variety, cool minis, simple rules which make for a game that is fun and tense. And as a major plus, my wife likes it too!
I'm saving my money in anxious anticipation of the mall expansion. My dream would be a scenario with the objectives from the original movie:
Block and lock all mall entrances.
Get weapons at the gun shop.
Clear out all zombies from mall.
My dream would be a great looking mall setup with an outdoor parking lot with which to drive around semi-trucks for carnage.
Know there isn't much if any info on this first expansion yet, but I'm hoping it will have a way of playing that is at least close in spirit to the original movie.
Have been thinking about how I could make my own scenario. One thing I would want is a rule that the zombies by default roam aimlessly around the mall unless they see a character or perhaps if noise reaches a certain threashold number or above. Another tweak I've been thinking of is walkers only. Another challange would be to fill the mall at the beginning and set the spawning in a reasonable and balanced manner.
Tempted to also have everyone get Josh's slippery ability. The original movie was often about hit and run.
Regardless of what the designers come up with, I for one can't wait until we get zombies in a mall and perhaps then I'll work on my own scenario. Can never get enough of that combination.
