Zombicide is a collaborative game in which players take the role of a survivor – each with unique abilities – and harness both their skills and the power of teamwork against the hordes of unthinking undead! Zombies are predictable, stupid but deadly, controlled by simple rules and a deck of cards. Unfortunately for you, there are a LOT more zombies than you have bullets.

Find weapons, kill zombies. The more zombies you kill, the more skilled you get; the more skilled you get, the more zombies appear. The only way out is zombicide!

Play ten scenarios on different maps made from the included modular map tiles, download new scenarios from the designer's website, or create your own!

 This is just a great game for zombie lovers!

The rules, step by step

Setup
Players select from a roster of classic Marvel superheroes who have been infected and transformed into zombies. These zombie heroes are the player characters in the game.
Objective
The primary goal for players is to manage their zombie heroes' hunger by 'eating' brains, which is an actual in-game option. Additionally, players must work to complete specific objectives set for each scenario.
On your turn
During their turns, players control their zombie superheroes. They will encounter and battle against uninfected S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and other uninfected Marvel heroes, which are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence. These uninfected characters act as threats, attempting to contain the zombie outbreak.
Scoring
As zombie heroes, players can 'eat' well-known bystanders from the Marvel universe, such as Pepper Potts, J. Jonah Jameson, and Sharon Carter. Consuming these bystanders provides extra tasty treats that grant special abilities and upgrades, allowing the zombie heroes to progress and become more powerful throughout the game.
Game end
The game concludes once the players successfully achieve all of their designated objectives for the scenario they are playing. The game draws inspiration from the original Marvel Zombies comic book story arcs (Marvel Zombies 1, 2, 3, and Dead Days).
Tips
To succeed, prioritize satisfying your zombie heroes' hunger to maintain their strength and unlock new abilities. Strategically target bystanders to gain valuable upgrades. Be prepared to face massive threats from uninfected heroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, utilizing your zombie powers effectively to complete objectives.
