I first played classic Risk as a child and have since played multiple different versions that I have always enjoyed. I am a huge Walking Dead fan, both the Comics and the TV Show, so fully expected to like this game before I had even played it. In my opinion this is not the best version of Risk (Europe, Star Wars, Legacy), however, it works perfectly fine as an area control, dice rolling, Risk game.

Like most licensed games, there is an extra level of immersion you’ll enjoy if you are a fan of the TV series. At the same time, you’ll still have just as much fun if you’ve never heard of The Walking Dead.

Name a popular gaming theme, and chances are there's a Tiny Epic version of it. Tiny Epic Zombies recreate the classic mall survival scenario, with locations, weapons, heroes and meeples squeezed into the series’ signature tiny box.

Risk, ‘the game of strategic conquest’, is an area control game where players compete against each other to take over territories and dominate the world map. In Risk, each player controls a faction that is randomly assigned a certain number of starting territories depending on the player count. Each faction has a starting number of soldiers represented by miniature plastic figures. Players allocate these figures to their starting territories as part of the set-up phase. The component quality is good. The board, cards and plastic minis are all of a solid industry standard that is acceptable for a game of this size, length and price. The board is clear to read and it is easy to determine the different zones which is something I find other Risk versions sometimes struggle to achieve. My favourite component is the miniature walkers, complete with missing limbs, that my Mother-in-Law was initially concerned were broken before realising that they had probably been bitten off previously! Final Thoughts on The Walking Dead Risk Non-leaders can’t move unless they choose to “Defy the Leader.” To do this they discard one food token and can then move one space. This is useful if they don’t like where the leader moved them. Or, if they coordinated this with the leader, it could essentially allow them to move two spaces in one turn (note that you can’t move diagonally) The Walking Dead: From Telltale Games, the game series is set within the comic book universe and tells the story of a character called Clementine. She is voiced by Melissa Hutchison. A spin-off game, Michonne, has also been developed.

The Walking Dead: The Board Game is based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead and designed by Keith Tralins and Brian David-Marshall. Survival Instinct: On July 6, 2012, Activision announced a first-person shooter based on and set before the television series, which is being developed by Terminal Reality. [136] It was released on March 19, 2013, in North America. [137] It was met with negative reception. Despite its small size, the fun components really help sell the theme. Equipping a little plastic chainsaw on your meeple before heading out to hunt some zeds is always fun, and who can resist placing their meeple in the little wooden police car before crashing into the hardware store? Tiny Epic Zombies isn't only one of the best Tiny Epic games, it also keeps up with its bigger siblings on this list. Not forgetting in this box comes with 7 plastic miniatures representing The Survivors and a first player token which is Negan’s weapon of choice Lucille. There are also 12 unique walkers which are in green so easily identified for the game set up. Having these miniatures has the added bonus of being able to use them in The Walking Dead miniature game by Mantic Games. My thoughts
