Zombicide: Undead or Alive (2022) takes the zombie-blasting co-op to the Old West. Cattle rustlers, train robbers and the harsh desert are bad enough, and now the recently dead are climbing out of prairie graves. You play survivors such as the Gunslinger, Brawler, Townsfolk and Faithful, each with rules of their own, and fight through modular maps full of miniatures. New elements like balconies and the train give the fights a western feel. It is a scenario-driven co-op, solo or with up to six, and at about an hour a pop it is easy to pull out for one more mission.

Who it's for

You like miniature-heavy co-op shooters, and a western twist gets you more excited than a normal zombie town.

Not for you if…

You want a light game or low table space. It comes with lots of miniatures, and the mood leans into horror.

Vibe's take

Loud, tense and cinematic. You plan your actions carefully, then dice make or break your clever moves.
