About the game
You know that total chaos where living heroes and zombies are clashing? Well, Red Skull has decided to crash the party to seize total power. In 'Marvel Zombies: A Game - Hydra Resurrection', the villain doesn't come alone: he brings a legion of Hydra soldiers who, believe it or not, have also turned into zombies. And trust me, these guys are well-trained and heavily armed, making them a serious threat to both the living and the undead alike.

The highlight here is Red Skull himself. He acts as a unique Enemy spawn that you can drop into any mission to add an extra layer of challenge. The coolest part is his exclusive Action deck; every time he activates, his specific moves are dictated by the cards, making the gameplay far more unpredictable and dynamic.

Beyond the villain, the expansion introduces six new map tiles. The twist? They are double-sided: one side features the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, and the other side features the Hydra base. This effectively doubles the variety of locations for your campaigns. To round out the package, you get additional Super Heroes, Zombie Heroes, and Bystanders to populate your games. If you're already a fan of the Marvel Zombies base game, this expansion is the perfect upgrade to scale up the war and add strategic depth with new characters and iconic Marvel locations. Grab your dice, gather your friends, and try to survive (or dominate) the Hydra horde!
