Cheers Sam Matey. Love this expansion and the game overall. I just wish that the release schedule for the add on's wasn't so intense. Last week alone 5 new products appeared at my online shop of choice and it was only 3 weeks before that 4 others appeared. I realise you don't need them all but please CMON slow it down a little! My wife will kick me out if you don't ;) :)
It's funny, because this IS them slowing it down. In previous Zombicide seasons, pretty much all of the content for the season was released at the same time. FWIW only two of the artist packs come with item cards, so I'd argue those (I think its the 2 Kopinski expansions?) are the only mandatory ones, unless one of the others really speaks to you. All I know is, the Gipi artist pack is right at the bottom of my priorities list, where it belongs.
Ah Warhammer meets Ghost Stories what's not to love?? Seriously Alan, as a fellow Galaxy Defenders player how do you rate this? What are the most important expansions to get? Do any make the game prohibitively difficult?
The bow inflicting dragon fire.. This just silly, they have probably realized, that the initial system to get the dragon bile and put it on fire was too tedious and now are trying to workaround it. Just make those abominations killable with anything and give them more hitpoints.. Yeah, that won't be very innovative, but maybe more playable.

Anyone play with the Deadeye Walkers yet? I'm wondering what the ranged baddies are like.
once you get black plague, can you just mix all of the cards and characters in there? Do the items card and new characters stay on the level of the regular black plague characters?
Great review Sam! It sounds like you're over your dislike of the Abominations which leads me to think this set fixes that "do or die" scenario? An' stop insulting yourself! You play T.I. 3 and Warhammer 40k fer godsakes, now that takes a mind. (Specifically, convincing someone else to play or get into those investment kind of games!)
I earn 400 dollar per month in Serbia (and that's a good payment in here). I decided to buy Descent 2ed over this game... but that was a hard decision.
Can't wait to see what Sam thinks of the Green Horde expansion they've got on kickstarter right now. That dragon man... hell ya
Vampire Crossbow is op and should get unlocked at orange or red, not yellow.
Sam, after this expansion, what else would you recommend for Z:BP as a must-get?
I'll be curious to see what you think of the other zombie bosses/abominations. They can be...unpleasant.

Sean Thompson they are just horrible
I hate that I'm about to ask this, but... 'good horrible or bad horrible'?
My toughts exactly, good horrible or bad horrible? Several people I asked which expansion i should get first they recommended Deadeye walkers.

what I want to know is: are zombie wolves worse than runners?
don't know but i think in a review I heard...they activate 3 times. So yes they are faster.
Yes they are worse. They get 3 activations. The game compensates for this with all the new magic weapons you can find.
Toronto1967 looks like wolves are the same as zombie dogs in the original game... and yes they will ruin you quickly
+1 to m'lay attacks?
The only drawback is the price. Here in europe it's around 60 euro's (63-65 dollars)
* €60 = $67.42
it's still a big price for US prices too...for an expansion that doesn't bring TO much more to the table. It should be DLC price...20-30 bucks :P

Don't worry the base game for Descent is a fantastic game brate !
!!! WHAT?! PISS OFF WITH THAT PRICE!
Sam says, "melee" as if he is saying, "malaise" and cutting off the end of it. heh
