Survival of the Fittest in Dead Meat: Quarantine Zone America
October 31, 2014 by deltagamegirl22
Yes, it's another zombie game- but it IS Halloween, and this isn't just any other zombie game! Jasco Games has their zombie game, Dead Meat: Quarantine Zone, out on Kickstarter right now and it looks pretty awesome.
If you are a fan of the Walking Dead, then this game would totally be up your alley. It's a 28mm skirmish level miniature game that takes place 4 years after a massive pandemic has turned man against man against zombies. In this game, your primary objective is not to survive against the zombies, though they are always a threat, but instead the goal is for your faction to assume control of the scenario.
There are 4 factions coming out in this Kickstarter:
Your and your opponent's choice of faction will play entirely different types of games since the primary objective of each faction is so different. And of course, there is the ever present threat of the zombies and the more noise you make during your turn, the more attention you draw to yourself, and the more difficult life becomes for you. The zombies also make the speed of this game really great because they force you to keep moving or you will get over-run.
There are 2 different starter boxes in this Kickstarter, offering you different choices in the factions- but if you're anything like me, I would never be able to choose and I'd have to get both. Want more? They have lots of small add on sets so you can get some of the really cool mini's in other factions.
Which of these factions would you find yourself in in the Quarantine Zone?

The gameplay and mini’s look great but I feel its overpriced for the UK market.
Nice looking minis but $175+ before any delivers outside US?? not sure if it will fund butgood on them for trying
Yeah shame about this. Still waiting for my other KS they did, they shipped half the pledge out to American backers but tbe rest of the world is on hold as its not economicql enough for them. I sort of understand their logic and I dont mind others are getting fun when im still waiting. Its just that it sort of makes you feel very under valued as a customer when youve paint so much for the product and shipping and then get told youll have to stand at the back of the queue. Perhaps its the fact they could… Read more »
I do not support EU-unfriendly Kickstarters anymore. They should not use the friendly symbol as long they didn’t make it possible.
And it is not only $45 Shipping costs, in the $130 are also shipping costs for north america included. There is no real free shipping, but it looks better adding it is not needed.
The Minis are looking interesting.
But for a zombie game there are not enough zombies, also having only one pose for them is not enough.
Some of this looks fantastic, but shipping and track record is going to leaving me feeling a bit dead about this !
