About the game

What you do in a play session

Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game – Galactus the Devourer introduces a colossal threat to the Zombicide universe. In this expansion, Galactus, the massive world‑eating machine, appears as a modular board over 60 cm tall and 45 cm in diameter, ready to be destroyed or, if you like, turned into a zombie. The scenario offers two distinct paths: Hero Mode, where players confront the titan and try to disable its defenses by climbing its arm and head to weaken it; and Zombie Mode, where Galactus himself becomes an undead monster, allowing heroes to devour him and gain his power. Each mode brings exclusive mechanics, such as new event cards, special abilities, and different objectives. Besides Galactus pieces, the expansion includes living and zombie versions of his head and right arm that can be swapped quickly, and the Silver Surfer, who can be added as an ally or obstacle in any mission. The missions are presented as stand‑alone scenarios but can also be linked into campaigns, offering narrative progression. The game remains cooperative, using dice rolls for combat and skill checks, and supports 1‑6 players, including solo rules. Components are high‑quality, with detailed miniatures and a sturdy board that becomes the battlefield itself. In short, Galactus the Devourer expands the Zombicide universe with an epic threat, varied play options, and plenty of replay value for superhero and zombie fans.
