It’s not a matter of liking zombies or not it’s a matter of not having a complete mental breakdown and crying like a 5-year old because mean-old Wizards of the Coast put zombies in a board game.
The game is not for everyone. No game ever is. I see it’s purpose as an entry level game to grab a wider audience in a dwindling player base.
Of course, there are always going to be people like…
How many zombie themed games are out there anyways? Arent they a bit late to the party I mean Walking Dead is in like Seaosn 8!
Yes, zombies have had a long run in pop culture.
I was surprised they went with them too.
However, seeing that there is a new movie based in WWII with a zombie element, there may just be a zombie renaissance in the making.
I mean compared to Axis and Allies as a whole, they’re are only two AnA Zombies games coming out, one with their own board and that version also gets a free set of cards that can double back on 1942 thus creating a “second” game. I also pitched them the idea to make cards for G40 but they said it will come down to how well Zombies sell.
I’m not a super fan of zombies but I do like games. I think the zombie cards add a counter-balance when you have a bad day with the dice. The problem is that everybody is so focused on the theme that you’re all blind to well thought out game mechanics. I’m so sick of the negativity, I’m very tempted to limit subjective (i.e., “zombies are dumb and you’re dumb”) criticisms of the game to one or maybe zero threads.
If you think there is something specifically broken about the map, setup, rules, or mechanics. I want t read about that.

I do understand how you can be sick of too much negativity, but limits or censorship is never the way to go, and not in the America we know and love. It is less than 10 persons that have posted negative waves on this topic, but because they are spamming, it feels like they are the majority. The best ways to deal with this are either to ignore it, or counter it with facts. When the game is out on the marked and people start playing it, I bet the negativity will disappear. Just hang on, man, and dont ruin this place with censorship.
DJ and I actually got to see the game (and got to meet each other), I think that’s part of the issue, is prejudging something based on a reflex rather than heading to GenCon and getting to see it yourself. Part of being a community is being open minded and actually playing together, not just naysaying.
I’m not censoring anything. If you have subjective complaints, put them all here in this thread. If you have constructive criticism, start a new thread.
Again, when the newbies arrive to learn more about AAZ and other A&A games, I want them to see a welcoming community. Seeing a bunch of posts of people hating on zombies, might turn people away.

You got some strong points here, and I want to change my stand.
