Tabletop Spotlight: Flick’em Up Dead of Winter
It’s two great tastes that go great together – Flick’em Up! Dead of Winter is under the Tabletop Spotlight!
Have you played Flick’em Up? What about Dead of Winter? How what do you get when you combine them both? Thanks to our friends at Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy now we know:
If you haven’t guessed it by now, this game combines the theme of Dead of Winter with the dexterity based gameplay of Flick’em Up! It’s a really great mix of theme and mechanics that won’t leave you out in the cold. Players take on the role of survivors in the Zombie Apocalypse and have to survive, scavenge and fight their way through hordes of zombies. This game does have a great mix of mechanics from both games including rules for noise, melee weapons, and of course – shooting!
Component-wise, it’s a really nice re-skin of the concepts from Flick’em Up! with the Dead of Winter theme – only slightly more cartoonish. It uses similar plastic components for the zombies and survivors as Flick’em Up! and has cardboard buildings and extras that really help set the stage. If you’ve never played Flick’em Up! at all then a basic primer is that you move your character around the board in an attempt to gather objectives. You can launch attacks by literally flicking round discs at the targets your going to hit.
So how does the Dead of Winter concept help this game become even better? By combining the core mechanics of Flick’em Up! with the story and theme of Dead of Winter! In the box there are 10 scenarios to play. Some of them are Co-op. Some of them…well, let’s just say it’s a team sport. This game also introduces the Zombie Tower! A new way to spawn zombies on the board:
