You are one of six (or more, with expansions) survivors of the same cliche'd ZombieApocalypse as every other work of fiction on the planet. Fortunately, you are a certified badass, and with the right amount of luck, tactics, and sheer [[MoreDakka gun power]], you might just make it out alive. Released in 2012, ''Zombicide'' is a crowdfunded {{Adventure Board Game|s}}, possibly summed up as ''VideoGame/KillingFloor'' on a modular board. It's gained popularity thanks to it's customizable board design, wide array of items and objectives, and being [[NintendoHard hard as balls]].
