The Zombies board game would be my choice, cheap and simple with several expansions.

are you referring to Zombies!!! ?
If so, I had fun with that, but almost always found that gameplay is too long.
Whenever one is nearing the chopper pad or last needed kills, someone would play a card to have him back at the town square or lose half his/her kills.
I had everything up to Zombies!!! 6, but just gave it away to a friend because after Zombicide I didn't want to play it anymore.

If I'd have to suggest something other than Zombicide, I'd say Last Night on Earth.
Also heard a lot of good things about Crossroads : Dead of Winter, but that is with standees, not figures.
And for all you Zombie nuts out there : Rise of the Zombies. A cardgame you play against the clock. Yes : real time. It's a blast !

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Zombicide. Hordes of zombies, check. Cool plastic minis, check. Watching Not-Jason Statham and Not-Gordon Ramsay get eaten alive by the undead, priceless. I think you can put together a team of survivors solely of Not-Expendables, and can definitely do a Big Bang Theory survivor team.

Thank you all very much for the advice, much appreciated.

We've gone for Zombiecide and Zombies so it looks like there's much fun ahead  :)
Don't!

I love Zombicide (have Everything) BUT Crossroads: Dead of Winter (only played 2x) has better game mechanics IMHO.
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Echo Zombiecide, but still some love for Last Night on Earth. Much to be said for the trashy American stereotypes. I suppose that kind of begs the question of 'how old is the lass?'  ;)

I remember you mentioning her years ago, but never got an idea of how old she was then.
