Zombicide: Dark Side

Zombicide: Dark Side is a fantastic addition to the Zombicide universe, offering a standalone experience with tons of content. It's great for new players entering the sci-fi world of Zombicide, but it's also a fantastic expansion for those who own Zombicide: Invader. The inclusion of the Drillers as a new enemy type adds a fresh challenge and changes the dynamic of the game considerably. The "darkness" mechanic really changes the way you play, making ranged combat trickier and adding a sense of dread to the game. It's definitely a unique twist on the classic Zombicide formula.

The game components are top-notch, with highly detailed miniatures and a great presentation. Some reviewers mentioned that the miniatures come unpainted, but that's something I actually appreciate since it gives players the option to customize their models. I also found the player dashboards to be really helpful for keeping track of character stats and equipment.

While some reviewers mentioned that the rules can be a bit complex, I found them to be relatively straightforward. The rulebook is well-written and easy to follow, though I do recommend reading through it before playing the first time. The game can be quite time-consuming, especially on your first playthrough, but it's definitely worth the investment.

Overall, I highly recommend Zombicide: Dark Side to anyone who enjoys cooperative board games, especially those who are already fans of the Zombicide series. It's a fantastic game with a ton of replayability, and it's sure to provide hours of fun for you and your friends.
