Ronnie talks us through how the scenario is going to work where it's going to be a full on raid of the Shopping Mall.
Folks are getting stuck into this participation game to see what they can make it out of there with!

Great info in the possibilities of the game. I will definitely give it a go – I thought it to be another kind of Zombicide up to now, but that’s not comparable it seems. Thumbs up for the Bootcamp and the reporting 🙂
Agreed. It’s definitely far different to zombicide. Far more than I assumed it was until this weekend.
sounds like there’s layers and layers of tactics as you get to know the mechanics.
hoping to see a game where somebody steals the ice cream van and drives it through the shopping mall!
Haha, if that happens please take a video!
…and we all know it would be @warzan 😀
I’m pretty sure that would be a given.
Running through the mall with a machete and knife .. what could go wrong?!? .. Awesome… would love to see the mall in action
Awesome terrain for what I can only see as a great game.
run carl – cooooooaaaaaaaaaaarlllllllll
Will you print/link the scenario once all the bugs are ironed out?
Shame you had those 2 creepy, yet familiar walkers photo-bombing the interview midway.
Brings back memories of the zombie run in the abandoned mall in Reading. Must do that again!
Zombie Supermarket Sweep – So where’s Zombie Dale Winton when you need him?
time for tea while the action continues
Run to the Mini and drive through the mall honking the horn.
I am liking the idea of the mall battle and I want to see more.
Hey Ronnie when do you think Mantic will start to partnership with 4Ground to offer a complete starter box with scenario in it ??? that can be really cool
I will never look at Tesco in the same way.
lol 😀
LMAO good there Minty 🙂
When is the Mall for sale?
I really want that mall! So many scenarios, so much fun. And it has a car in it! It’s like every video game and zombie movie ever made. And also for some reason I’m now thinking Blues Brothers too.. that’d draw some Mayhem for sure
looks like this is the game for the walking dead comic fans. I do get disappointed with some of the changes that they made for the tv show.
A supply run scenario makes sense to me.
Yeah, I like the scenario Rob and Ronnie came up with as I was wondering if it would be the single character thing like he mentioned at the start, I like that Ronnie was conscious of making it fast paced, tense, and fun! Go ‘Suicide Sandra!’
Sounds like a great scenario
It would be great to have a full campaign/scenario book released for this soon! Maybe in trade paperback format with original artwork and such!
Sounds like a fun scenario
Sounds like fun
Very interested in exploring the possibilities of the system. Seems like there should be quite a bit of flexibility between the different characters and equipment selections.
That looks a great way to use such an impressive terrain piece.
Great sounding scenario, would love to get a copy of it if you’re so inclined 🙂
Hahaha, love the car on display in the mall. I wonder if it has one of those little “win this car!” boxes, where you fill out your name, address, phone number, etc. and then a few days later someone calls you trying to sell you a timeshare.
that all looks and sounds amazing
Nice scenario on a fantastic terrain kit.
This game is made a for a mall setup, any chance we can get a full batrep ?
will be good test run for the January sales then?
hears the mail music for the game guys.

Playing on that table seems so much fun.
The mall is amazing and Ronnie’s scenario quite interresting.
If it all goes pear shaped? IF? This is The Walking Dead; All Out War. It’s not *if*, it’ when!
Blaster was here… & when the going gets tough, uh, umm, well, I don’t know
Ok I think we need another scenario here as Ronnie’s isn’t quite brutal enough for my taste.
All the characters are lined up outside the mall. Its Black Friday. The speakers announce that for the first 5 minutes theres an extra 10% off in certain stores. The doors open. Let the bloodbath commence…..
Ronnie is all excited! The vein in his neck is popping right out the more animated he gets. Awesome!
Why does killing everything mean it’s gone pear shaped?
I’m desperate for my pledge to arrive now. I really want to dig into what characters will work great together. Thanks for the vids guys im learning a lot and dont even have my stuff yet.
Have to like a man excited about his game.
How about a scenario where you’re hoping to find the food and the guns, but there’s only a chance of one of them actually being there.
Run, run ruuun!!
Cool scenario
this scenario sounds funny
I would love to have been there to see this game iT sounds like lots of funn
Loving the scenario Ronnie`s come up with, and now that everyone`s had a few games and there picking up on the best way to use each character the moll`s gonna get brutal.
Anychance BoW can do a demo game using the “Shopping Moll”, it does not have to be “Walking Dead” it can be a night heist that goes south. Or even a gang fight, two gangs go to the moll to do a bit of spring cleaning and end up having a full on brawl. Everyone else (shoppers with there kids) runs for it.
The Mall Gauntlet! Love it! what a great idea, that would be an absolute blast. Justins idea sounds great too, draw all the walkers down the other end!!
Looks like the game can be very flexible and your going to be able to recreate the key moments from the show or comic.
This game looks like it has a lot of tactical depth. I have not yet read the rules. Since walkers are attracted to noise, it seems like having some firecrackers you could throw towards and opponent to draw the walkers toward them could be fun.
Looking forward to the mall scenario.
the Mall is so cool looking
Sounds awesome and a wonderful board to do it on!
…..CQC Free For All with a HEAVY Walker Side order…… \m/ \m/
Supply run, perfect for a supply mall
Nice Walker cameo by Ben and Lloyd in the background 🙂
Would be nice to see the mall scenario played.
Brains!
Ronnie Awesome
Shows how flexible the game can be. Also shows how useful a GM can be in a game!
Great game!
That scenario sounds even better than boardgame classics, Mall Madness and Shop ‘Til You Drop.
oh that sounds like fun!!!
Looks terrific
Where’s mall cop
As an American, one of the first Scenarios that came to mind with that mall is The Alamo. Remember the Ala-Mall!
