So what is game-play like? In a word, adequate. So far, the only thing that has impressed me is the quality of the plastic figures. It just seems like a pointless inclusion to me. I say "naff" because it is useless for measuring any distance greater than 6", which will quite often happen in a game. The game also includes a very naff 6" ruler. The card counters include Grit Tokens, Loot Markers, Reload Tokens, Wound Tokens and Zombie Spawn Points. NPC cards will list how many of them make up one choice, usually two or three of them. Character cards can be for specific characters like PCs (for example, "Big Bazooka Mama") or for generic NPCs (for example, "Some Survivors x3"). Finally, all characters have certain Special Traits (something they excel in). Some characters have Grit scores, which give dice re-rolls. The Character cards give stats for Movement (in inches), Resilience (armour class), Melee (number of dice rolled in melee combat) and Ranged (number of dice rolled in ranged combat). Players get 5 cards each if they're playing humans. The Survival cards offer assorted tactics that can aid a side in the game. The Combat cards are used to increase the number of hits or defences rolled on the dice. The dice have symbols for hits (on 3 sides), for defences (on 2 sides) and for a surge (on the remaining side). The dice are gimmicky and ditto the Combat and Survival cards. Upon reading them, I was even less impressed. I was very underwhelmed by the size and content of the books. You get one small 12 page Rules Manual, 1 equally small 16 page Survivors' Guide, 2 Player Reference Sheets, a sheet of thick card counters, 10 special six-sided dice (they use symbols not numbers), 3 decks of cards (8 Character cards, 36 Combat cards and 10 Survival cards), and plastic sprues to make 23 Zombies, 10 Male Survivors and 6 Bikers (including 2 on bikes). Upon opening the box, my first impressions were not favourable. This review is going to concentrate on the game itself, but I will also be mentioning the figures that were specifically designed for this game. You could, of course, use any other appropriate figures from your own collections. Project Z is the brand new table-top skirmish war-game by Warlord Games, which was designed specifically to use with their range of 28mm scale plastic, multi-part zombie apocalypse miniatures.
