About the game
What you do in a play session
You know those kinds of items that become true relics for collectors? The Cool Mini Or Not Promo Pack 2016 is exactly that. Originally released as an exclusive giveaway for the crowd attending the 2016 CMON Expo, this pack is a small treasure trove of promotional cards that spreads improvements and novelties across several of the publisher's titles. In total, there are 11 cards that aren't tied to a single game, but are instead distributed among five CMON hits: Zombicide, Zombicide: Black Plague, Xenoshyft, Arcadia Quest, and B-Sieged.
If you already have these games on your shelf, this pack serves as an extra seasoning to vary the dynamics of your matches. It's the kind of content that slightly tweaks the balance or adds tactical options that weren't in the original manual. Since it's a set of promos, the experience is geared toward those who love having a complete collection or want that small power 'boost' in their campaigns. Keep in mind that, being event promotional material, availability is limited, and the focus is entirely on integration with already known game systems.
An important point for those acquiring it now: since the cards contain text, there is a moderate language dependency. If you aren't fluent in English, you might miss a translation to fully enjoy the effects. However, for those who already play CMON titles, the adaptation is usually smooth, as the language follows the standard of the rulebooks. It's basically a 'treat' kit for veterans who want to expand their horizons in the publisher's zombie, fantasy, and sci-fi universes.
