- Hey everyone today we are playing Zombicide 2nd Edition! I'm joined by my wife Lauren while we both play Zombicide for the first time. We had a lot of fun with this one, some cool moments as well as some dire situations. Did we survive the hoard or get overrun in our mission? Grab your brew and join us to find out. Thanks for watching!
**A quick note: While this is our first time playing a Zombicide, as well as the game going for a while, we were bound to make some mistakes, there are a few we made. Including noise tokens not being put down sometimes, accidentally using a character 2 times, zombie priority and movement at one point and not re-loading sawed-off shotguns. It happens, but we had fun.

**Please Note: Hey everyone, we made a few rules mistakes in the playthrough. A few being accidentally taking another turn with a character, probably missing some noise tokens, firing with the sawed-off without reloading, moving zombies at one point incorrectly and killing some zombies out of priority. However we had fun and that's what it's about, hope you enjoy the video!
I just noticed the priority mistake with the rpg. I can almost guarantee that you will never play a perfect game of zombicide. I know I haven’t. Lol. Fun watch! You wife is a great zombie apocalypse strategist. Follow her lead!! 👍🏽
@@sador42 Hey thanks for that! And yea I think you're right about the rules stuff lol it usually always happens to me in games. There starts to become too much going on and then you're playing for hours so you just miss things. But to us that's perfectly fine because we have fun playing it! And yes I agree she is, she will be happy to hear your comment haha! Thanks!
I have missed these bits out too, easy to do with zombicide, keep up the good work you guys are great.
@@paulwood1790 Exactly, a lot going on when playing Zombicide, also it was our first game so bound to miss things. And thank you very much for the comment, I really appreciate it!
Enjoyed the playthrough. Looking forward to more gameplay of this and/or other games. Thanks for the content!
Thanks we had fun doing it and definitely want to get more playthroughs on the channel. Appreciate the comment.
Hope you two have fun running through the rest of the missions. Great video bro.
Thanks man I think we will, we both really enjoyed it and can't wait to play it again. Would be cool to try out different characters and expansions as well.
Really enjoyed this play through. Great quality content
Thank you and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it, we had fun playing it. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it.
thank you for the playthrough..subbed. it was fun watching you two, helped me to decide if i want the game.
Hey man that’s awesome to hear! I hope you enjoy the game, thanks for checking out the video :)
Awesome playthrough. I have subbed. I have purchased the 2nd edition. I am pretty much a newbie and still painting the minis of Zombicide 1st edition. This is a great game for beginners entering the miniature wargaming hobby. Take care. 👍🍻👍
Thanks for your input and subscribing. And we're newbies when it comes to zombicide as well so no worries. And you're right it's easy to learn and get going right away. And fun to boot. Cant imagine painting all those zombies to be honest, theres a ton!
Really good video! Audio, camera work, and commentary were all very well done. This is the first video I've seen on your channel and I just subbed and am looking forward to more! 😁
Thank you I work hard at it and happy to have you on board. Thanks for your comment and the sub!
LOL. Good video. Lauren was great! “You need to get out of there.” Then you just searching instead. “Ned just shit the bed.” 😂 LOL. Hope you both do more missions in the future.
Haha yea that was hilarious, and I agree, she had some good strategies there. And we definitely plan on doing more, we both had a lot of fun. Great comment!
Super gameplay. Now im going to buy this 🤩
Well done! I just subscribed to keep you under my radar and hoping for more missions in the future! :)
Hey thank you! And thanks for the sub, I appreciate it! We will definitely be doing more playthroughs of Zombicide, thanks for the comment!
Awesomeness! Zombies rock! Great game!
When you level up you don't move the peg down, you take one from the top and pick an yellow skill to place it against. So at yellow you will have 2 skills and at red you will have 3 skills. Excellent video though, tough getting the abomination right off at the start!
Dude thank you for clearing that up haha. The manual said to put those extra pegs there and when we were playing I didnt even think about using them but that makes so much more sense. And thank you, it was kinda crazy with the abomination at the start but happy we pulled through! We had fun.
Great video thank you! You helped ne understand the game more.
Glad we could help, thanks for the comment!
Great vid! Please do more reviews!!!
Thank you I appreciate that, and will definitely get more up on the channel!
Hey just found your channel and it's awesome. Lagunitas makes great stuff too.
Hey thanks for that I appreciate it and welcome, glad you found the channel! They really do, I have been seriously enjoying their stuff and look forward to more stuff from them.
I like how into the game you guys get half way through the video.
But I would like to point out the "Walkie Talkie" Rule for cooperative board games that I made up to help let players do their thing, but still work together and to prevent backseat gaming of each other's turn. (Of course the exception is for rules and playing the game correctly).
No one can talk to the person whose turn it is, but they can talk to others. At the beginning or end (depending on the game) of a round, they can all talk together to plan, cry, boast, etc. (A round being once everyone has taken a turn).
Less mid turn corrections / arguments this way and safeguards timid players from getting dominated by controlling players. This lets people play their way, but also cohesively.
I think you are lucky to be married to such a great strategic player you should listen to her more.
Thank you I am very lucky to be married to her. And she was quite pleased with what you said, she said it made her day and to say thank you. Great comment I really appreciate it.
Seriously...frustrating af
So many good bits of advice, totally brushed aside
Totally dead in a real zombie attack
You guys did a good job for your first time playing it!
Thank you we had fun! We missed a few things and it's funny because at some points in the video we went by the rule and then other times it's like we completely forgot the same rule lol
@@BrewsandBoardgames a lot of people make house rules for the game too!
@@krtrocky I could definitely see that, I'd be interested to hear what others do for house rules.
Love this mission. Be interesting to see how your play thru differes to that with my original game
Yea we thought it was cool as well and had a lot of fun with it. That would definitely be interesting to see. Thanks for commenting!
Can't wait to play this with my group
You're going to have a blast, really fun game!
Thanks for doing this video. There was obviously something wrong with certain rules or overlooked stuff like that certain enemies had two actions because you two were rolling such bad rolls first half of the game yet you were never really in any danger! I was laughing so hard I was crying about your bad rolls (I was also very tired which made it more fun!). There were several times you forgot to move the ba guys and many times you forgot to place sound tokens! But I look forward to the next playthrough with a little more accuracy and perhaps some vaccinated friends can join....
Haha hey thank you glad you enjoyed it, we definitely had fun playing it, and will eventually get another playthrough up on the channel. I also agree it would be cool to get some friends doing a playthrough as well, they are all for it. We just need to schedule a time to get together for it, but it will happen. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it!
I just watched the whole thing and I just also ordered the game after watching it
Hey that's awesome dude! Thanks for watching it, we both really appreciate it. It's a great game, everytime we play we have a great time, whether with friends or family. So fun just mowing down Zombies, you'll have to let me know what you think of it when you get it :)
awesome play through! still winning the bid on eBay for the all in. one day to go. lol
Thanks man appreciate it! That's awesome hope you get it, just watch for people swooping in with a bid at the last minute, you got this!
Fingers crossed!! Use your quick ninja fingers
at the end!!
When you got at the end an extra activation for the runners they do the two moves because their activation contains two actions.
Ahh thank you, I was wondering that when we played. I wasnt sure if they got just 1 or 2 activations with that card. Thanks for the clarification!
Me encanta zombicide ( I love zombicide)
Zombicide is awesome dude, I'm right there with you :)
"Why would anyone need a bag of rice?". This definitely gave me Project Zomboid flashbacks. Just SOOO many noobs that were absolutely lost if all the quick easy food was already gone.
I guess once all the potatoe chips are gone people just starve to death once the world ends. Meanwhile I was grabbing up ALL the rice, pasta, lentils and whatnot. Cooking was ESSENTIAL for long term survival. Same thing applies to real life as well actually.
Living off of junk food is a TERRIBLE idea regardless of the circumstances 🙃
Side note, the vietcong would put raw rice and water in sections of bamboo for hours, then eat it as an MRE of sorts. You don't need heat to 'cook' rice, just water and time as the rice will soak it up. Heat just speeds up the process.
Yea now that you say that it makes sense that you dont actually need the heat lol. But I liked that bit of history about the vietcong, always found history fascinating, so thanks for sharing that. I'll pass it on to my wife, she'll appreciate it as well. Great comment.
@@BrewsandBoardgames 😁
👍🏻
Eight rolls to get 4,5,6 and you scored a handful of 1,2 and 3s. Welcome to my world!
I live in England and I am off to get my copy of second edition later today.
B
Haha I hear ya, sometimes those rolls are brutal! That's awesome to hear, we had a blast and would recommend it, I definitely think you're gonna like it. Make sure to enjoy some brews with it. :)
@@BrewsandBoardgames
Health prevents alcohol, worse luck. The only brew I do is tea! Very British.
I have played 1st edition regularly and liked it so it was interesting to see the changes which have been made. There's no more starting the game with just a frying pan or crowbar as a melee weapon. I am a little puzzled at the disappearance of the police officer "Phil'. He does not appear in the new core game yet the other five (Wanda, Amy, Josh etc) do.
Have a good one - off to pick up my copy of 2nd edition right now...
Whooooosh...................!
Barry
@@barryslemmings31 Hey tea is great! The "Brews" on this channel include anything that you enjoy drinking really. Some videos I'll have some tea or coffee and others I'll grab a beer, all about what you enjoy! And yea about Phil, I think he was part of the kickstarter exclusives. Awesome having those starting pistols for sure! Awesome man enjoy the game, let me know what you think about it!
Setting and open can of beer on the table where your $100 game is!? Ballsy 😂
Haha I know dude, quite scary, I usually try to not do that or catch it from others, can't stop them all though lol
For the characters u were missing miniatures for thats because they were released with earlier zombicides and the reboot box comes with remastered character cards for those characters.
Ahh so they were part of other zombicides, okay that makes more sense, thanks for the info. Still a ton of minis in here, and I dont mind using different sculpts for heros so all good.
About minis that doesn't match the cards: the kickstarter box comes with ALL THE CHARACTERS FROM PREVIOUS BOXES because they changed the character dashboard in the 2nd edition. It comes with two stacks of cards, the new characters and the old ones.
Ahh I see that makes sense, thanks for letting me know! Did you get second edition as well?
@@BrewsandBoardgames Yeah, I was going to say that. You probably picked a card of a character from the first edition hehe
There is a easy way to tell then apart. The old ones have a zombivor version in the back. This is an old mechanic that wasn't kept for this second edition.
@@OrdemDoGraveto That's really helpful info, I didnt even notice that. Awesome catch and thanks for letting me know!
@@BrewsandBoardgames If you want to use the older characters, and want to use the zombivors mechanic, it's basically a second life for the characters.
If they die from being hit by a zombie, they become zombivors. All damage is removed from then, and they now have 5 hit points.
Or you can create custom rules to use it. As most people did, since they are broken and make the game way too easy. They weren't popular, and that's why the mechanic weren't kept for this new edition hehe
@@OrdemDoGraveto I was seriously wondering what the backs to some of them were, I was like so you can play as them being zombies too? That's interesting about making the game too easy, the zombivors is definitely something I'll have to look into more. Is it because players just didnt fear dying as much?
Also when you search or add an item to your inventory you get a free rearrange action
Oh that's even for regular items as well? We did do that for the pimp weapons but I guess I may have missed it about gaining items from searching. Thanks for the heads up!
I'm interested in seing how the campaigns play out!
Thank you, we have some other game playthroughs coming out on the channel soon. But eventually we will get more Zombicide up as well really like it!
on Seth and Ned area, so many attacks has been made but no noise token or whatsoever have been placed sooo many times but didnt forget to put noise token on the other group of survivor...
I subscribed
Hey dude thank you I really appreciate it! Welcome aboard, great to have you.
You are totally playing this game wrong! Amazing! 😂
Zombicide is one of the few games my wife will play with me. she is very lucky when it comes to dice roles. I'm not as big on the modern setting so I skipped this one but I hope they take these rules and add them to the Black Plague and Green Horde games
If theres only a few games she'll play, at least zombicide is one of them, definitely fun. And anyone who has lucky dice rolls is great to have on the team. I was interested in black plague, just never got around to it, but still plan on it. Could you somehow house rule these rules into black plague and green horde?
@@BrewsandBoardgames Black Plague and Green Horde already have better rules than Zombicide, The main difference in 2nd:ed is that you can shoot into a square with a survivor and not automatically hit the survivor
@@MrMaltavius Ahh I see, thanks for clearing that up. I would still like to get BP at some point, might just house rule it with the 2nd ed. friendly fire rule.
How did you get those characters? They're not included in my game
Some of the characters we used were from the kickstarter campaign for the game. It came with an additional box of content. It included additional things like characters, zombies, items, etc.
@@BrewsandBoardgames i see...those are cool ! Thanks for the info
Hey guys, the only zombicide game I have is Night of the living dead, was thinking of getting the original. Would it be better just to get 2nd edition instead?
Hey Andrew! I cant speak on Night of the living dead as I havent played it. But I do know Zombicide 2nd edition is fantastic, as far as I'm aware they've improved some rules from the original. And it does feel like you are running from/blasting these zombie hordes, it's great, I do recommend it.
💪Argentina...
No vehicles? Would have been fun but hey, this is a really good challenge.
Yea no vehicles for that playthrough, we wanted to keep it as simple as possible for our first time. But have since used them and they're fun!
Having to roll 6 when aiming at dark zones using ranged weapons is an alternative mode? Or Just base rule in this second edition? Thanks in advanced
Hey not sure how I missed this comment, is there a certain time in the video you're referring to? If there is, I might be able to clarify what happened.
Its an alternative rule to make it more difficult. Section #13 is all alternative modes to make the game harder, or more fun :)
You’ll roll better if you leave that dice box on the table man trust me
An hour to play the game, two hours to try to figure out and remember all of the rules and eight minutes to file for divorce 🤣 Our version of the game has much smaller figurines and it's so difficult to differentiate them, still cost a bomb though.
both are so likeable.., sub👍 greez from germany
Hey thank you Alex! And greetings! Great to have you join the channel!

The ways to mitigate luck: Antecipate what can show up, and plan your actions acourdingly. Search for weapons at any oportunity, and make sure to put the right weapons in the right hands to combo with characters skills in order to maximize your chances and mitigate your dependence on luck.
About the rules, don't be TOO fixed on the "oficial" rules. Zombicide works best when you twick the rules to your likings. And better yet, create CUSTOM MISSIONS with new rules specific for them!
As for the dashboards, it's a HUGE improvement just having them! The previous edition didn't had a dashboard, and it sucked =/
Definitely some good tips here. I really like the ability to trade/rearrange so easily so you can put those weapons into your hands when needed. And with that playthrough it definitely gave us some insight on better tactics.
Also with the rules, I agree with you. We tried to follow the rules as best as possible and it was weird that sometimes we followed them and then on similar situations we totally missed it. But my point is, we had fun even though we forgot some rules, and to me that's the entire point of playing board games, to have fun. So if you miss a rule or bend them slightly, but still have fun, then mission accomplished.
Dont get me wrong the dashboards were good, I just felt that one part at the AP track could have been a little more sturdy. But it was still good and easy to use. And if they didnt have those before than you're right it's a huge improvement! I really appreciate your feedback and tips with everything, really good stuff!
I thought the rules say you up your ap for every zombie killed by the Molotov
I believe you're right, didn't we do that? I could be mistaken it's been a while since we played.

Zombies must be set OP mode. 16 minutes in and I’m wondering how you made it to 3 hours.
Hey there, not sure exactly what you mean by that. Do you want to clarify a bit and then maybe I could help/answer?
"'Yyyyyyy,
