Rick and Carl’s Day Out

The Walking Dead - Rick and Carl’s Day Out

Although I was a Kickstarter All In backer we had not yet played. 

With Call to Arms releasing 7/2019, we decided to play the final

starter scenario. The group had enjoyed Here’s Negan and you can

read our play and review here. 

Rick is out teaching Carl to shoot near a mass of piled up vehicles 

along a junked up section of road. The practice had gone well but

the mass of walkers was growing unmanageable. Just when Rick

was about to gather a few supplies and head back to camp, Carl 

noticed several survivors approaching. The gunfire had drawn

Derek’s band to the area. Noticing lots of usable goods in the area

Derek ordered Sandra and Patrick to gather supplies. 

Derek notices Rick and warns him off from the area

Patrick moves toward some supplies

Rick shoots a nearby walker and draws lots of attention

Sandra is getting out numbered and in trouble

Carl searches the car and BOOM! He finds a booby trap

Sandra gets the car between her and the walkers

Rick sees his opening and moves toward a stash of supplies

Sandra swings in and gets the supplies securing victory for Derek’s side. 

Rick and Carl slide away to fight another day. 

We had a good time and look forward to building our own teams while

using the full rules set. We didn’t engage in any PvP which may have

been a mistake but the 3 to 2 odds seemed tough. Ammo is depleted

1/3 of time on a die roll so that was tough too. Building your own teams

would allow extra ammo cards and melee weapons. 

The system works well solo, cooperative, or competitive. I could even 

see it as an RPG narrative type campaign playing the key events out

with the skirmish game. The Mantic deluxe terrain pack was awesome too!

Thanks for swinging by our blog. We love any visits, comments, or follows. 

Negan Claims the Sanctuary

Here’s Negan Game Overview 

We played scenario one in Mantic's Here’s Negan from their 

The Walking Dead line. The games is perfect as a solo or

Cooperative game and the rules cover both. Each future Savior

Lieutenant has a unigue skill that makes each special and different. 

Negan runs himself and acts per his own set of cards and action. 

I’ll say keep Negan happy or you pay a price. 

The game contains a wealths of event cards and items to be found. 

We used less than a quarter of them in the first mission which

will add to variety and replay value. The game can be played 

episodically or as a campaign where damage and items carryover

to subsequent missions. The game also contains the character cards

for each lieutenant in case you would like to play them in the All Out

War skirmish game. 

The action is driven by the threat tracker which builds based on

events, noise, and survivor actions. The walkers have entry points

like Zombicide or Space Hulk. The walker blips added a cool

unknown feel to what was wandering the sanctuary.

We completed mission one with the loss of one lieutenant as a result of

Negan’s encouragement! We under appreciated the impact of noise

easy and thus spent lots of actions trying to keep the threat level from

hitting auto defeat. 

All in all Here’s Negan is a fun standalone game in a great universe. 

We will have more AARs and game reviews up soon. We great appreciate 

your visit and would love any comments and follows.
