@zoidpinhead me neither.
A few of the core sets from Zombicide have hit retail. It’s where I got that Fantasy version of theirs ages ago.

Biggest issue is that these are gigantic boxes and expensive games.
It’s pretty much why some form of crowdfunding is the only realistic option for that type of game, because it’s too expensive to sit on the shelves.

I don’t know what gamestores are like over there, but the few we got tended to focus on CCG’s long before Covid hit, because that’s pretty damn cost effective game from a retail point of view.

GW is practically the only miniatures game out there on the shelves. Things like Marvel Crisis Protocol are too expensive and big for most stores to have in stock. Assuming they know it exists … at all.

Boardgames tend to not be bigger than Catan in terms of both box size and cost. Anything more expensive tends to be very specialist.

There definitely has to be something in either that IP or the stuff that they got with it that made it worth the money.
I guess we’ll find out as soon as Asmodee tells us anything ? (or maybe whenever OTT posts news about a new Zombicide game/version/re-release … )

I’m about half way through my stack of floor tiles. My fingers are killing me and I haven’t had the energy to continue today.
It’s not difficult. It’s more annoying and a tiny bit frustrating as the ‘puzzle’ tiles don’t always connect as smoothly as I want them to. Of course the material is a bit rough and the fit is pretty tight, so that’s probably part of the reason.

Maybe tomorrow ?
I did post a few pics in the discord channel yesterday, so there’s proof of things happening 😀
Project definitely needs an update before the spring challenge ends. I still doubt I can finish it this time around, but I got a feeling that I will get more done this time around. There’s a clear goal and I really want to do some actual hobby. 🙂

I also got the box with the light-assembly (more like light-dissassembly now ha!) that was in my other project. I will have to wait and see when and how I can update that one with the current status.  That project was lacking in details, so that’s going to be one of the things that need to doing as well.
