About the game
Get ready to bring cosmic chaos to the zombie apocalypse! The Guardians of the Galaxy expansion for Marvel Zombies brings the galaxy's favorite band of misfits to your tabletop. Now, you can control the Guardians — in both their living and zombified versions — in cooperative missions where survival is the only goal. But don't think it'll be a walk in the park, because the Mad Titan has decided to crash the party.

The star of the show is Zombie Thanos. He's not just another enemy; he acts as a special spawn that can be added to any mission, whether you're playing in Zombie Mode or Hero Mode. What makes Thanos a true nightmare is his possession of the Infinity Stones. Every time he activates, he draws from a special action deck to channel the power of one of the stones, triggering game-altering effects that can completely flip the script and wreck your group's strategy.

If you already enjoy the Zombicide dynamics, this expansion adds the cosmic power layer that was missing. It's the perfect blend of tactical combat, dice rolling, and the tension of trying to contain a villain who literally holds the power to alter reality in his hands. Gather your friends, pick your favorite space heroes, and try not to become zombie fodder while facing off against Thanos. The question is: can you stop the zombie snap before it's too late?
