The tiles are thick and have a good weight. The punch out pieces are made of the same material and feel very durable.
All of the figures are high quality and have amazing detail. They are packaged tightly so they arrived with no damage. Each piece has its own place in the plastic inserts that come with the box and makes for some what easy and organized clean-up. At least until you buy something better, such as a foam case made specifically for miniatures.
My only complaint is with the size of the cards that come with it. The inventory cards and zombie spawn cards are TINY. They look like they are made for a child's hands, and even then they could still be considered small. The inventory cards I understand a little bit, as each character has a plastic tray that helps you organize your equipment and inventory, but the zombie spawning cards could have been a little bigger.
As far as the game play goes I have not had the time to get through all ten quests included with the game, but the few I played were fun, interesting and lasted long enough that I was satisfied with the extremely long setup time involved to get a game started. I highly recommend playing with 6 characters on each campaign, regardless of how many actual players you have. It was just my girlfriend and I playing for our first few games, and on the first one we only played with 4 characters (2 each) and died very quickly. We tried again with 6 and the game ran much smoother and we were able to come out victorious!
The over all gameplay is fairly easy to learn, but there are a lot of rules you need to remember. However, repetition makes them easier to comprehend and after a few games everything with run smoothly. That being said, this game can be very difficult. If you don't work together or plan out your moves you can very easily be overwhelmed by the oncoming zombie hoards. In one scenario we played an 'extra activation' card was turned, giving all basic zombies an extra turn. This led to one of our heroes being killed immediately, with nothing we could do to prevent it. There will be times the game seems unfair, but it is all part of the challenge. Don't misunderstand me though, this game is extremely well balanced, it was just designed to be difficult, so if that isn't your thing or you are looking for just a casual game I would find something else.
Each game lasts anywhere from 30 mins to over an hour depending on what spawns you draw and how you play the game, with setup taking anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, and tear down taking about the same.
All in all the quality of this game, the sheer amount of content included, and the option to expand the game with expansion packs make this a must buy for anyone who enjoys zombie games, miniature games or (if you are like me) Dungeons & Dragons style adventures.
What seems like a dreadfully simple concept is complicated by particular rules both you and the zombies must follow (the zombies basically 'play themselves' by using rules with precedence -- e.g. "attack someone in your square before moving to another square, etc.")
Your band of heroes (6) all have special abilities to help with the fight, and there is a degree of customization as you level up and decide what future skills you get. However, as your party levels, so do the zombies (typically by increasing their numbers, but sometimes through extra moves, etc.).
You don't just attack or search for items - you can also cast spells (when found), make noise to distract zombies, etc. You also have to plan out your actions with your co-players, because bad strategies end games very quickly!
The materials are all good quality -- the variable 'game board' is really up to 9 large, thick, dual-sided cardboard tiles, with lots of other tokens used to represent doors, objectives, spawn points, etc.
Games typically go from about 1 hour to 2 or more, depending on how you approach each quest (there are 10) -- but it's a HECK OF A LOT better than a repetitive Monopoly game (my son's former favorite).
I'm not a huge board game buyer, but I've already began painting my figurines (my photo shows my first foot soldier zombie) and we bought the Bosses expansion pack (WOW, talk about awesome!)
There are a few cons that are worth mentioning, though they are definitely minor:
1) The 9 board tiles may be slightly warped when you open the box. This isn't horrible, but you notice it since you have to line up these tiles on your table to make a particular scenario. The Fix -- Either *gently* counter-bend them or just set them 'upside down' for a while with a flat weight on them all and they'll straighten up perfectly.
2) The equipment and zombie cards are tiny. This is a bummer because A) I'd love to see the cards larger to enjoy the artwork more and B) shuffling them is a major PITA because they're not big enough to really riffle / waterfall (I mean, it can be done and I've done it, but 50% of the time it's not worth the hassle).
3) Not really a 'con' but a note- these zombies are 1.5" tall (the foot solders), so they're not huge, but they're pretty darn detailed. There are larger figures (the necromancer and abomination and fatty) and the bosses expansion (sold separately) are massive.
Highly recommended game -- it's awesome.
