About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're digging the vibe of Oltréé and craving more zombies, more mystery, and more nail-biting choices, this expansion is for you! "Undead & Alive" injects new life (or perhaps a new stench?) into the base game, bringing three new Chronicles that pit you head-to-head with the worst the undead world has to offer. That's 36 new cards to spice things up, with quests ranging from a shorter challenge to longer, more immersive campaigns. Prepare to face the shadow forces and deal with the "friendly" undead now roaming the satrapy. The expansion introduces the "Languor" mechanic, a sort of morbid melancholy that affects the hearts and souls of your characters, adding a thematic challenge that will make you think twice before every action. Plus, there's a new incident pack called "Death Abounds," with 20 cards to make things even tenser, and 6 more mission assignments to ensure the fun (and terror) doesn't end too soon. It includes 14 miscellaneous tokens to help organize the chaos. "Undead & Alive" promises to expand Oltréé's cooperative and narrative experience, immersing players in an even darker and more challenging universe. It's the perfect pick for those who've already conquered the base game and are thirsty for more quality content, maintaining the unique atmosphere and tough decisions that define the series.
