The Walking Dead - A tale of boot camps and laughter
Gaming
We scaled up to almost 6×4 level with 3 of us playing.
It took a little while to complete the game and the ranges got problematic. The wider the game area we have played across the less threatening the walkers become, even with some fun event cards dragging them into more dangerous locations on the board.
This is not a criticism because the game maker already told us that scaling making the battlefield wider rather than deeper was the way to go. The game was still fun and the urban feel was different to the rural / suburban settings we had been playing on.
My friend went with a comic style grey scale for most of his miniatures, but I didn’t really want to go that route. The immersion is still fine though and the contrast between forces didn’t feel like an issue for me. Had an awesome time and the tower blocks gave the game an interesting dynamic.
My friend Paul went in heavily (and wallet first) into The Walking Dead Kickstarter and got some beautiful mouse mat style gaming mats, all of the expansions so far I believe and has made keeping the games different every time we’ve played really easy.
I like the board as such, but especially that fancy bus and the chess ground in the former playing zone. – The large buildings would make for a nice piece of scenery for tying Mr. Merle Dixon to a piece of plumbing and make some others to come to his rescue so he doesn´t have to cut off his hand.
First let me say I think the table looks great. But, I have a question. Where did you get the character dashboards you are using? Those would be really useful.
I’m afraid I don’t know where my friend got the dashboards from, but just googling “mdf the walking dead dashboards” and you’ll find stuff from Warped Mind Games and Red Beam designs?
