The […]

All 27 miniatures that come in the Dynasty Invasion box.

Part 4 – The Dynasty Invasion

Last but certainly not least is the “Dynasty Invasion”! Sailing from across the ocean, the invaders bring two extra clans to the field: the Moon clan and the Sun clan.  These new factions not only bring new season cards with them, but they also rely on their own “Seven Lucky Gods”, ignoring the “Japanese Monsters” and bringing more variety to […]

Record Breaking Horde

Record Breaking Horde

On father’s day weekend, just over 2 years ago, I was attending CMON Expo 2015 while the Zombicide: Black Plague campaign was in full swing.  I had met Thiago and Guilherme during the Arcadia Quest panel, and later saw Thiago in the convention hall sitting at his computer.  He was posting comments, updates, and was genuinely blown away by the […]
