The tiles are thick and have a good weight. The punch out pieces are made of the same material and feel very durable.
All of the figures are high quality and have amazing detail. They are packaged tightly so they arrived with no damage. Each piece has its own place in the plastic inserts that come with the box and makes for some what easy and organized clean-up. At least until you buy something better, such as a foam case made specifically for miniatures.
My only complaint is with the size of the cards that come with it. The inventory cards and zombie spawn cards are TINY. They look like they are made for a child's hands, and even then they could still be considered small. The inventory cards I understand a little bit, as each character has a plastic tray that helps you organize your equipment and inventory, but the zombie spawning cards could have been a little bigger.
As far as the game play goes I have not had the time to get through all ten quests included with the game, but the few I played were fun, interesting and lasted long enough that I was satisfied with the extremely long setup time involved to get a game started. I highly recommend playing with 6 characters on each campaign, regardless of how many actual players you have. It was just my girlfriend and I playing for our first few games, and on the first one we only played with 4 characters (2 each) and died very quickly. We tried again with 6 and the game ran much smoother and we were able to come out victorious!
The over all gameplay is fairly easy to learn, but there are a lot of rules you need to remember. However, repetition makes them easier to comprehend and after a few games everything with run smoothly. That being said, this game can be very difficult. If you don't work together or plan out your moves you can very easily be overwhelmed by the oncoming zombie hoards. In one scenario we played an 'extra activation' card was turned, giving all basic zombies an extra turn. This led to one of our heroes being killed immediately, with nothing we could do to prevent it. There will be times the game seems unfair, but it is all part of the challenge. Don't misunderstand me though, this game is extremely well balanced, it was just designed to be difficult, so if that isn't your thing or you are looking for just a casual game I would find something else.
Each game lasts anywhere from 30 mins to over an hour depending on what spawns you draw and how you play the game, with setup taking anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, and tear down taking about the same.
All in all the quality of this game, the sheer amount of content included, and the option to expand the game with expansion packs make this a must buy for anyone who enjoys zombie games, miniature games or (if you are like me) Dungeons & Dragons style adventures.
Pros:
-Lots of combat, yet still requires strategy
-characters can be leveled up and acquire new skills
-Plenty of detailed enemies
-Instructions are easy to follow (occasionally had to go on the internet for clarification)
-A lot of the quests require 6 players, but it is easy to control multiple characters
-Generally fast gameplay, but some quests can be lengthy (due to strategizing- it can get hectic with the amount of enemies on the board :-))
Cons:
-We changed one rule when it came to ranged combat. We didn't like that you could still hit a friendly in your own space if you failed on a dice roll. It makes more sense if you are targeting an enemy in a space further away that you could possibly hit your teammate if they occupy the same space as an enemy.
-We would have liked to see more base quests included, but like I said above, you can find more on the Zombicide website.
-Would have been nice if more tiles were included to further increase variability (not a game breaker though).
-It can be a little frustrating when it comes to killing an abomination in the base game because it requires you to have dragon bile and a torch or Samson has to have the +1 damage skill (if you have the Wulfsburg expansion, you have more tools at your disposal to kill harder enemies).
All in all, I highly recommend this game and it has been very fun. We definitely have our share of "epic" moments when we for sure thought we were done for.
