Review - Zombicide: Black Plage Base Set game tiles for Zombicide: Black Plague from CMON
There are 9 double-sided tiles in one set.
The surface of the tiles is mostly matte, and I find that good. The tiles will stay flat if you store them properly.
The number of the tile is printed on the corners of the tiles. As they are intended as board game pieces, this is something I can live with. If it really bothers you, put some scatter terrain on the corners to cover the numbers.
The artwork is nice, it depicts a wrecked medieval urban area. There are signs of combat, blood, and destroyed furniture. The streets are one zone wide (8,5 cm), and as they are in the middle of the tiles, you can't create wide roads with these tiles. The narrow streets might hinder miniature movement in a 3D environment, but here you can just place the miniatures on the board, and even if the base of the mini overlaps a wall slightly, that won't stop you from placing it there.
The design of the Zombicide: Black Plague tiles is completely modular, so you can use both sides of any tiles to create a seamless gaming area. There might be a gap between the tiles, but you can use self-adhesive stickers under the tiles to prevent them from moving apart.
Possible uses
Beyond games of Zombicide, you can use these for any zone-based tactical wargames or board games, like Conan, Deadzone, or Massive Darkness. Deadzone is scaled for 7,5x7,5 cm zones, but it's still a close fit. I used Alkony Skirmish buildings, that are made for 10x10 cm zones, and even they look fine on the maps.
You can use extra tiles to create a urban area that covers a large gaming table.
The artwork depicts a wrecked place - it's ideal for unoccupied places, or cities under siege.
Possible improvements
At the moment I couldn't come up with anything.
