Unboxing Axis & Allies & Zombies

Axis & Allies & Zombies is the latest installment of this franchise from Avalon Hill and Wizards of the Coast. Sit back while we check out what's in the box.

A close up of all the sculpts would have been nice. Board looks like a mix of original and revised. Terrain filled but dark.

It was certainly an interesting watch.

Three different sculpts for the zombies, '42 2nd Edition pieces for the five player nations which is pretty standard I suppose. I'm a little disappointed to see Japan have so few control markers though as they generally have a better chance to spread out rather than Germany, at least in the games my group plays.

Also kinda disappointed at such a low piece count, you'd certainly have to add forces to augment the skeleton crew of an army and navy that each nation has. The money is nice though as well as the custom dice included. The chip count seems fitting though I am not sure it would end up being enough having to divide it between six player nations though.

The board is nice, kind of a mix between a 42 map and 41 map so a good amount of movement space available for strategy and tactical thinking. Despite the science fiction style aspect that the zombies present which, kind of contaminates the game, but overall it will present a twist that may prove refreshing.

Overall I have good hopes for this addition to the A&A family.

Hello i have a question is it posible to play this version whitout using zombies? I was wondering if you could play it like a normal a&a game.

Even though I won't be buying this version (Too demonic and a bit sacrilege for my taste), I was curious of what this game looked like! But since many people are into zombies nowadays, I guess there'll be a market for it! If anything maybe it'll attract them kind of people in the other games of A&A, especially since naysayers consider this just a cult game ( what do they know anyway)!!!
