Marvel Zombies - A Zombicide Game

Marvel Zombies at GenCon and Wave 1 update

Look alive, Heroes!

It's GenCon time, and Marvel Zombies wouldn't miss it for the world! If you're around the convention, make sure to drop by the Spin Master booth (#2727) to try a quick demo of the Zombie Mode core box. The tables have been packed and people are having a great time experiencing the game for the first time!

And if you come around between 12-2PM you can participate in demo sessions run by the game designers themselves, as Fábio Cury and Michael Shinall are on hand to sate your hunger in person!

We would just like to share a quick production update as well. The Wave 1 core boxes are currently in full production. As you can see, we even have full production plastic samples being used for the GenCon demos. Production of both print and plastic is scheduled to wrap in September, when the final boxes will be assembled and then shipped out. This means we should be able to start delivering in October, with the full process taking some time according to the boats to each hub, and depending on how smoothly the shipping process manages to be carried out. We will keep updating you as more concrete information comes in.

Until next time, stay hungry!

Core Box Samples

Look alive, Heroes!

Production of the Marvel Zombies core box is moving along nicely. We have just received some important samples to check, and everything is looking in top shape. Let's check it out?

Inside the main box is the "pizza box" to hold the plastic components.

Taking it out we find the bottom tray, with slots for three decks of mini cards, the tiles and punchboards, and the ID cards under those.

The bottom tray also has slots for the tracker cubes, dice, and color bases, with space to spare to hold some tokens.

Here's a better look at the dice, tracker cubes, and color bases.

Ok, let's get back to that box of goodies.

Under it you'll find a guide to help you place all the game pieces back where they belong.

Open it and we dive into the treasure trove of game pieces and player dashboards.

We'd like to call attention to a small detail in the Zombie Hero dashboard, which is the direct consequence of backers' suggestions during the campaign. Usually the XP track in Zombicide games show a racing heart monitor. However, as backers pointed out, zombies shouldn't have quite such an active heartbeat. So, for the Zombie Hero dashboard we designed a different XP Track graphic, displaying a couple last fading heartbeats and then... flatline.

The top tray holds the Zombie Heroes, Super Heroes, 6 Bystanders, and one set of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.

The bottom tray is filled with the other 6 Bystanders, as well as 6 sets of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, including Troopers, Specialists, and Guards.

We hope you are just as excited as we are to see how things are turning out!

Until next time, stay hungry!

Look alive, Heroes!

All backers, remember that the last deadline to confirm your pledge is June 30! Make sure your pledge is confirmed, with shipping paid, so you don’t miss out on these goodies.

And speaking of goodies, we have started to receive the first plastic samples of the Marvel Zombies core box game pieces, which is about to start production for the Wave 1 delivery. A few small details are still being refined with the molds, but things are looking pretty cool. Let’s take a look!

Until next time, stay hungry!

Last Painted Stretch Goals

Look alive, Heroes!

The deadline for 2-Wave Expedited Shipping is now behind us, which means all backers with unconfirmed pledges are now limited to Single-Wave Shipping. However, don't forget that the final deadline to confirm your pledge is June 30! If you don't confirm your pledge by then, we will be unable to fulfill it.

We are working around the clock to start production on the Marvel Zombies core box very soon, in order to fulfill the Wave 1 pledges. Very soon we'll have some samples to show you. At the same time, we are well advanced in preparing all the other character pieces for production, and wrapping development of the expansions one by one.

We still have a few last samples from the painters at Big Child Creatives to show you, so let's check out some more examples of what the character pieces from this campaign can look like when painted!

Today we will check out the last Stretch Goals that weren't shared yet. All painted by BigChild Creatives. Still a few to work through, yet.

Until next time, stay hungry!

Cards for Extra Hydra Troops

Look alive, Heroes!

First off, we'd like to remind all backers that the Pledge Manager was launched a few weeks ago. If you haven't checked it out, please do so now. The deadline for backers wishing to receive their Marvel Zombies core box in advance is fast approaching!

MAKE SURE YOU PAY AND SUBMIT YOUR SURVEY BY THE DEADLINE. Please be advised that this is the final deadline to guarantee your pledge and that we will produce based on the numbers of confirmed orders in Backerkit. If you fail to confirm your survey by the deadline, we will be completely unable to offer you a pledge later.

For backers familiar with the BackerKit system, please be advised that unlike other projects, your payment will be processed immediately as soon as the order is placed. You’ll still be able to edit your address until the deadline, but the items of your pledge (pledge level and optional buys) will be locked as soon as the order is finalized, no longer being editable from then on. So be sure to fill out your survey carefully, including all the products you want, within the selected shipping option's deadline.

A few weeks back we announced the addition of the Extra Hydra Troops optional buy, offering backers that wanted it the possibility of adding even more zombie Hydra Troops to their game. We saw your comments on that update, requesting for the inclusion of additional Spawn Cards in this pack so that you could have more Hydra Troops spawning more constantly in your games. We took that sentiment to the design team and after some deliberating and testing we have concluded this was a valid option to include in this pack. And so we are adding 12 Spawn Cards to this optional buy: 6 for Zombie Mode and 6 for Hero Mode. These will be extra copies of the same Spawn cards contained in the Hydra Resurrection expansion.

We do advise players proceed with caution when adding these extra cards to their Spawn deck, as the increased flow of armed zombies is sure to heighten the intensity of the game!

Until next time, stay hungry!
