Description

This is an entirely new standalone core box, including all the content you would expect in a Zombicide base game: Survivors, Machines, Xenos, Tiles, Missions, Equipment, Tokens, etc. While Dark Side is an independent entry point into the Zombicide sci-fi universe, it is also fully compatible with Zombicide: Invader, which means it also acts as an expansion for it, bringing a lot more content to your game.

In Dark Side, players take on the role of the soldiers of Green Squad and delve into the underground mining facilities of PK-L7. There they will face a new breed of Xenos: Drillers! these red devils benefit from the pits that the Driller Abomination digs up, using them for extra protection, and to make surprise attacks on the Survivors. Players will also have to contend with the crushing darkness of the tunnels, which severely hamper ranged combat. With new equipment at their disposal, and new tactics to be learned, Green Squad might just stand a chance to make its way out of the dark!

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is a pile of mid games as I take a look at board games on boardgamegeek.com, a repository of all things about board games.
  • These are games that don't get talked about as much.
  • it really is a very simple game from Prospero Hall.
  • This is kind of one of those games I wish I had played back in the day.
  • This is one of the best fillers out there where you have a bunch of swimmers out there.
  • I think A Fell is a fine game. I just think it's sort of broken.
  • It's a classic for a reason.
  • what a fantastic party game.
  • Phoenicia Tom Lehmann killed his own game. He eventually came out with Race for the Galaxy, which was a much, much better Phoenicia, which is why this game has kind of disappeared.
  • one of the longest rule books in history.
  • It is so complex.
  • Of all the games I talked about today, I actually I think Lynx City I like Asking for Trouble's a lot, but Lynx City is my favorite.
