    Hi guys!

    I'm off in America right now and there's this shop not too far away that sells a tonne of board games, card games and Warhammer.

    I want to get a board game from them, but I'm honestly not too clued up when it comes to board games at all. That's why I need your help to pick something out that I can get!

    I'm mainly into realistic zombie games. And by realistic, I means guns, survival, etc. No cartoon type stuff!

    It would also need to be light enough carry back without taking up too much weight/space, although I'll throw out a pair of old pants to make it work if any suggestions turn out to be good enough.

    I've heard that Munchkin is good, so I might give that a go since I also like levelling-up type stuff.

    Really obscure stuff like Loveletter is good too. The place is jam-packed with loads of games, and has no shortage of zombie games to browse through. If it helps anyone get an idea of their range, they have Zombies!!! and Dark, Darker, Darkest in stock.

    So does anyone have any suggestions?

    I would highly recommend Zombicide. I've played a lot of zombie games and so far this is my favourite. City of Horror is excellent too

    Zombicide to me is a bit life Left4dead. Well worth a look and there's a ton of downloadable scenarios and add ons for it
