The Verdict
based on 10 reviews
“Immerse yourself into the world of Zombicide Black Plague and you'll be rewarded. I really love the cat and mouse element that the necromancer brings to a game as well as the feeling of hacking down a crowd of zombies, with your friends cheering you on.”
“Zombicide Black Plague does all of those things; even at the price tag it's sitting at, I can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for a fresh take on the zombie genre, and want a game to impress friends with some awesome looking minis, you can't go wrong.”
“I think this is an absolutely phenomenal game and i think it is in my opinion if you like zombie side black plague does everything zombie side does better”(1:35:57)
“If it isn't clear by now, I highly recommend this game. The challenge of completing the quest mixed with the unknown of what awaits me every time I bust down a door, keeps this game coming back to the table for me.”
“Two thumbs up from me, [Zombicide] Black Plague, if you enjoy the [Zombicide], the zombie genre, and you enjoy having a little bit of a twist with having magic spells in there.”(18:40)
“I still really enjoy the game. And this is the best version of the game. And if there were only minor things like the ones I've mentioned that have been keeping you away from the game, try this one out.”(33:30)
“Really really enjoyable game and I do like this particular um a variant of it the black plague variant its theme is the main thing that's different but I really did enjoy that”(3:41)
“It's a lot of fun and I’ve found myself gravitating toward it numerous times while doing something else, even going so far as it just leave it setup and playing a quick round as I pass”
“If I had to keep only one, I would start with that, keep Black Plague. I didn't know that. I know, is that biased by the dragon? It's biased by the amount of different zombies, variability, and all the expansions. So I'm saying Black Plague, knowing you have all the expansions.”(24:24)
“I won't pretend the game is easy, but it is lighthearted fun. At some point you just give up and get swamped and die swinging away, which has it's merits. I enjoy this for the low stakes fun it provides with a group.”
