Marvel Zombies - How to Play (Official)

[@DANNYtheBOY11]

Probably one of the best "how to play" vid ever seen and top production quality, great work.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Awww DannyBoy you flatter me. Tell your friends! Lol

[@DANNYtheBOY11]

@@BoardGameCoffee I will, 'cause it's true; to me, we are at same "Watch it Played" level for explanation and even more regarding video and editing productions. Well deserved.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Appreciate it

[@ralphco0]

Thank you Mark! This video perfectly explains the game and answers rule questions. I am extremely impressed by the quality of the video as well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@BoardGameCoffee]

You are too kind thank you :)

[@MRiJUSTcantREMEMBER]

Wow. Very impressive video. Not only easy to understand, but also at an extremely high production quality. Very professional. That must have been a lot of work. Thank you! Very helpful!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thank you very much. And yes, a crazy amount of work went into making this video.

[@paulstasiak8482]

Hands down (waves hands around then motions them down) the best (makes an exaggerated #1 on the right hand) video on KZbin (points with two fingers at the screen) for learning Marvel Zombies. I (tilts head, slight grin) appreciate you (pause for effect) making this video.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thank you

Thank you! Cleared up a rule that was confusing me! Much appreciated!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

You are very welcome :)

[@user-ct9vr8ij4c]

Wow, very high quality video design & video itself. A lot of work was done! Thank you

[@BoardGameCoffee]

No, no. Thank you :) I’m hoping to get to He-Man soon

[@nickforlizzi3100]

Excellent video Mark! Your How to videos are always top notch!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

You’re too kind :) I hope to keep Making ‘em

[@familymeeple]

Hey hey! Thanks for the video. A quick note... Marvel zombies: Heroes Resistance is available in retail (and has been for some 9 months now) but it's the Spin Master, small box version of the game (less minis, standees). The CMON version due to land will be X-Men Resistance and will be the fully miniature based iteration of the game 🤗

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Oh, I know it’s available now. I’ll make a comment of that. I recorded the portions with me in the video along time ago. But thanks for the reminder.

[@dunkelzhan76]

Any dates on when X-Men resistance is coming out?

[@familymeeple]

@@dunkelzhan76 X-Men Resistance will release at retail along with all CMON other non-exclusive content. There will be associated contents that are KS Exclusive which should arrive at the same time for those who backed the KS. The last official comment from CMON re: phase 2 shipping is: "We don't yet have delivery estimates from the factories, as they're coordinating how best to handle this massive production and we don't want to speak out of turn. "

[@dunkelzhan76]

@@familymeeple I just discovered this game through Zombiecide and picked up Marvel Zombies on an impulse buy at my LGS, I'll keep my eyes peeled

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Good answer! I’ll juts reimburse mine lol

[@bradleythrall8152]

From here on out, I'm gonna skip the game manual entirely and just check out your vid instead. Thanks for making this easy peasy lemon squeezy.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thank you for watching :)

[@ScytheNoire]

Excellent video, great production quality, very helpful. Look forward to this campaign finally arriving. Gain Triat in the bottom right of the Gain Trait section. Oops.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Dam typos. Oh well, not bringing the video down now lol

[@arthurdent9281]

Just started looking into this game. This is easily the best how-to-play video I've seen! Great work!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thank you :) more how to plays to come! Tell your friends ;)

[@TheErlend87]

Agree

[@beakerkell]

Just got my copy and feel like I won't even need to open the instructions after watching this video. Great work!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Burn it lol… no don’t do that. And thanks :)

[@BoardGameCoffee]

A few notes: (I’ll try my best to keep these notes up to date). 1. There was a typo in the video of the word “Trait”. Apologies. 2. Heads up, "Marvel Zombies Heroes Resistance" is now available. It's been available for a while now, but I recorded that portion of the video a long time ago, my apologies.

[@derekgarcia3069]

Our copy just arrived and this video has been a huge help. Fantastic production too!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Glad to be of service :)

[@robertgreene2776]

Wow. Great job on the How to Play. This is an impressive video and very thorough. I'm ready to play now. Thank you so much for your time.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thanks for watching happy I could help

Best 'how to play' Video I've watched in a long time...Looking forward to when you do 'how to play' as living Heroes vs Zombies as well

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thank you so much. I hope I don’t disappoint :) I’m really looking forward to playing myself

[@user-ve8dq1qe3c]

You nailed it!!! Will be sharing with friends before they come over to play.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Awesome! Thank you. Glad you liked it

[@Lee-lm9xi]

Great video,really useful for a new player thinking of getting the game

[@commandershepard9920]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a huge Zombicide fan (I don't think it's bad, I think it's just fine), but MARVEL Zombies..... yeah, I had to get this. And to my delight, I'm having a blast! I like it more than other Zombicide games as I love the hunger mechanic and the bystanders. I can't wait to play in Superhero mode when the rest of my pledge comes in. ALSO, how cool is it that EVERY miniature can get used? In other games, if I don't like a playable character, that miniature collects dust. But in MZ, that same character I don't want to play can still show up as an Abomination Enemy, depending on the mode I'm playing in.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Interesting that you’re not a fan of the others but like this one. There are definitely some versions that I like more than others, but they all tend to scratch the same itch. Have you tried black plague?

[@commandershepard9920]

@@BoardGameCoffee Black Plague (core box) is the only other one I own, but I tend to dislike it and the older ones in general, as I don't like having to hunt a very specific item to defeat the abomination. I like the newer Zombicide games where you can kill an abomination potentially with any attack, but you face more of them to make up for it. I like the added variety and consistency that this gives. I also love how in MZ, the most powerful 'items' in the game are the bystanders, and instead of drawing them completely at random, you can see where they are ahead of time and strategize around them. Plus being a big Marvel fan, the 'theme' of the bystanders is a huge plus for me.

[@jeremyambrose9699]

Excellent job on this man. Thank you for the effort.

Hello, Great video, I'm playing my first game today... You said you will do another for the hero side? Hero's resistance and x-men resistance are also in my library... I'm looking for a similar how to video... Thanks for that one

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I will be doing a video for that. But unfortunately, I did not get my copy when I had time to record it. So it’s gonna be a while. There are other projects ahead of that one. I haven’t even got a chance to play it myself.

[@benybroca]

Please do so! Yours are the best, sorry they let you down but we need you! Thanks. You ha e a great voice btw, Ever thought of doing dubbing work?

Thank you :) I'm gonna try

[@iwraithofthestyx2292]

It's like if a younger William Shatner was acting as 'Rex Kwan-Do' from Napoleon Dynamite, and produced a How to Play video in character

[@BoardGameCoffee]

If I was making as much money as any of those people, I’d be set :)

[@boich]

Honestly would love to see more of these videos. They’re very well made. May I suggest a future video for Cthulhu: death may die

[@BoardGameCoffee]

There is plans to make one. But it’s behind a bunch of others.

[@HarleyFirestorm]

Cthulhu Death may die is sooooo easy to play, you can learn the rules in about 20 mins, the set up and rules for each chapter are pretty easy too, I did have to read about three of them a couple of times to make sense of them, but they aren't hard.

[@sleepwalker986]

Amazing How to Play. Congrats \m/

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Glad you liked it. And I hope it helped.

[@MidgarHeretic]

Well done!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Why thank you :)

[@Bonzenmann]

The extra Missions in the rulebook are for "Marvel Zombies - X-Men Rsistance" not for "Marvel zombies: Heroes Resistance". Otherwise, great video!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

The xmen resistance is the title on the Kickstarter box, I caught it the first time I said it, but apparently not the second time lol.

[@fredericcourcy1915]

You can play it with hero resistance without any problem. It works well !

Are you thinking of making more videos for the marvel zombies a zombicide X-Men resistance and the smaller expansions

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I’ll be making one for resistance. But not for all the expansions.

[@chavhunter86]

@@BoardGameCoffee ok as I hear the expansions have some different rules from each other

[@timothygrantramirez6063]

At the Enemy phase, what happens if there is an existing Hero present on the board, and the player draws a Hero card. Do you spawn another hero? Or the existing hero will have extra activation??

[@Abaddon86]

I hate drawing airdrop specialist during orange level(3 each Zombie heros). When not enough minis,they resolve extra turn.all zombie heros auto dead.😅

[@BoardGameCoffee]

lol. Amen

[@i3loody-rainbow736]

what if there are only 2x bystander cards on the mission setup BUT 4 bystander symbols on the map? (Mission 1 for example)

[@starshot9418]

Is there a video by you for the hero mode? Cant find a good tutorial for that as i know its surprisingly different

Not yet there isn’t. At some point there will be, but I only recently got the game myself.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Glad you asked. That amazing piece of art comes from Raging Ape Prints. You can check them out on Instagram. If you contact them, tell them you saw one of their pieces on board game coffee. I don’t have any deals with them but maybe if enough people mention us we will in the future :)

It’s not that bad to learn, but it is difficult to master

[@nuggythebear]

30:54 wouldn't you have to hit the specialist person and not the trooper after the Superhero?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Nope. It’s trooper before specialist. The order list displayed on screen is from the rule book

[@eg1582]

Did he ever do a hero mode “how to play”? I can’t find it.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I did not. I will get to it at some point. But I got my copy way too late and now I have other projects to finish before I get to that

[@Pops_Reviews]

Hey Board Game Coffee, Curious to know if you received your wave 2 stuff and are you doing a video??

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Wave two stuff just arrived at my door two days ago. It’s still in my foyer. I’ll be going back to my Cmon projects once I finish my current how to play video (which is not a Cmon project)

[@irvingmartinez4046]

I just bought the Marvel Zombies game, but if I'm a little confused about the companion game to play the Hero mode. Is the proper companion game Marvel Heroes Resistance or X-men resistance? I just don't want to end up buying the wrong game. Thanks!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

The XMEN resistance is the kickstarter exclusive. But either will work. Not sure if you get different characters in the 2 versions, but I know the heroes resistance version that was released to the mass market a few months back has standees to replace some of the minis.

[@user-dp3ul2jo3s]

Have you gone over hero mode yet?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Nope. Haven’t even had a chance to open the box 📦

[@mlleloo7225]

I am waiting the video for X-men Resistance to play my copy 😅

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I got a few videos lined up ahead of that one, so you might be waiting a while 😔

[@tomaszdziedzic5377]

When do we get second part?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

It’s not really second part. Everything you need to know to play this version is in the video. I’m only saying that in case someone’s reading through the comments and thinking it’s half a how to play. The other how to play for the other version of the game will be coming out eventually. But not anytime soon. I have a few how to plays lined up before that one. I was hoping to get it done soon after I released this video although I didn’t have the game till recently. Sorry I couldn’t have that ready for. But when it’s done it’ll be a good one :)

[@tomaszdziedzic5377]

Thanks for the great work you did. I only asked because the guide you prepared is the best I've ever seen, and in the general context of board games :) I know that the gameplay of superheroes is very similar, but once you make it, I know it will be great and I'll be happy to watch it!

[@timkicior1144]

So they have 1 version for like $100+ Then marvel zombies resistance.. Is the only difference that one game has all plastic minis and the other has mostly cardboard ones?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I know the Kickstarter version does have minis. I’m not sure if the characters are different but let me ask for you and see if I can get you an answer.

[@khaledjannoun4068]

If the door is open in the beginning of the mission, when do you spawn enemies in the open building?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

If the door is open, and the set up doesn’t tell you to add any, they don’t spawn in that room

[@blathian]

Like mission 1? If a scenario set up doesn’t mention doors, are there considered to be no doors? Your video references closed doors where there are no tokens on your map.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

@blathian there are doors printed on the board. I missed this originally as well. When the mission asked you to put doors those are usually doors that require a special key to open. Or they cover areas that don’t have doors printed on the board. So for most doors, they are just printed on the board and you just place the open door token on it.

[@konradsuchy9013]

So even if the attack is meele I still can't distribute succeses as I want? (Sry, I'm old Zombicide player)

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Correct even Mele attacks in this version have to be in priority order

[@FrightfulFailures]

Any update on the hero mode "how tov play"?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

It’s going to be a while before I get to that one. I’ve got a few other how to plays scheduled ahead of that. It was just unfortunate timing. When I had the time I didn’t have the game. Now I have the game I don’t have the time.

[@Slaneshhhh]

So at the beginning of the scenario there are no enemies spawned?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Been a while since I played but I believe its scenario specific.

[@TuberTugger]

mic is tin-y. My guess is recorded in the middle of a room. Buy some foam for offscreen walls. Or use filters. You also pause way too often while talking. Very jarring. Made this difficult to listen to.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I can’t really change the way I talk but the mic situation has been improved since this recording. If your looking for a non pause talker I’m sure you can find other how to plays for this that will satisfy your needs. Merry Christmas
