Zombicide: Black Plague – Benson

If you're a fan of Zombicide and have been looking for more content for the Black Plague universe, Benson might be just what you need! This promotional survivor, which originated from the Kickstarter campaign, comes with a cool miniature and its ID card, ready to jump into the action. It doesn't change the base game's rules but adds another character for your group to choose from, each with their unique abilities, of course. The idea is for it to fit perfectly into your cooperative games, where you work together to take down zombies and complete objectives.

As it's a cooperative game, communication and teamwork are essential. Benson, like the other survivors, will have a set of actions they can perform each turn, using the well-known action points. This means you need to think carefully about how to use your points: will you rush out to explore, attack the undead surrounding you, or perhaps use a special ability? Dice rolls determine the success of your actions, so be prepared for that dose of luck (or bad luck!).

The modular board of Zombicide: Black Plague ensures that each game is different, and the addition of Benson only increases the variety of characters that can be explored. It's an extra piece, a bonus for those who already own the base game and want to expand their survivor options. Don't expect revolutionary mechanics, but rather another character option to enjoy the zombie chaos with friends. If you're a fan of the series and want another new face for your collection, Benson is a welcome addition.

Remember that, being a promotional item, it might be harder to find. But if the opportunity arises, and you enjoy the Zombicide experience, it's a worthwhile acquisition to spice up your game sessions. After all, who doesn't want another hero (or anti-hero) to face the horde?
