Full details

Players work together to navigate zombie-infested maps, scavenge for equipment, and complete mission-based objectives while managing an ever-increasing horde of enemies. While the game provides highly engaging cooperative combat and accessible rules, players should note that it requires significant table space and a commitment of 60 to 120 minutes per session to fully resolve the escalating tension of its mission scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the game, choose a scenario from the rulebook and arrange the modular map tiles as indicated. Distribute the survivor dashboards and assign unique player cards before placing the starting equipment. Care should be taken when handling the miniatures; while they are durable, storing them in the original tray or a dedicated foam organizer prevents bending of weapons and limbs. If you wish to expand your experience, the game is designed to be compatible with a wide array of Zombicide series expansions. Keep game components in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent warping of the cardboard tokens and map tiles.
