Yup, there is a board game now based on the graphic novels. Some friends gave this to us for Christmas and we've played it five times now.

Before I give a review, I wanted to know if anyone else has this game and what you thought about it.

There's actually two different board games. One is based off of the comics and hte other one is based off of the tv series. From what I heard the one off of the comics you just play the characters. The one off of the tv series you can play human or zombie. If there are multiple people for the tv series game the first 2 or 3 people who "die" or lose in the other words become zombies.

The one we have is from the comics, no becoming zombies there. I think the the one you are taking about, sarahkellett, the tv based one, sounds more entertaining depending on whether or not the problems we've found in the one we have are part of that game as well.

We have found two major problems. The rules aren't written in the clearest fashion, in a few cases we've written notes in the booklet to put our interpretation down for our house. There need to be more dice it gets annoying to have to share them and then as you get more followers rolls some over and still keep track of successes or failures.
