About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to defend your neighborhood in 'Welcome To...: Outbreak Thematic Neighborhood'! This expansion brings an apocalyptic twist to your city-building experience. Forget leisurely strolls around the block; now, zombies are on the loose, and your community needs protection! The goal is to turn chaos into order by building strategic barricades to contain the horde and collecting ammunition for defense. Each round will require you to think fast and plan your actions simultaneously with other players, much like a bingo game where each called number could mean a new threat or a defensive opportunity.
The thematic sheets aren't just for show; they introduce new scoring methods and unique challenges. You'll need to manage your resources carefully, balancing the construction of defenses with community expansion, all while trying to survive the invasion. The paper-and-pencil mechanic, familiar from the series, gets a new lease on life with the urgency of survival. Can you keep your cool under pressure, build the best defense, and still score enough to win? 'Outbreak' adds a layer of tension and urgency that will test your planning and adaptation skills. It's a great choice for those who already enjoy the 'Welcome To...' line and want an extra dose of adrenaline and theme.
This expansion is perfect for players who enjoy games with a strong thematic element, building challenges, and a race-against-time feel. The simultaneous action selection mechanic ensures the game flows quickly, even with many players. If you like the idea of building your city while defending against the undead, this expansion will appeal to you. Get your pencils and your courage ready, because the horde is coming!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game 'Welcome To...' to play this expansion?
Absolutely! 'Welcome To...: Outbreak' is an expansion and requires the base game 'Welcome To...' to be played.
How many players can participate with this expansion?
Just like the base game, this expansion supports 1 to 100 players. The fun (and danger!) is scalable!
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with 'Outbreak'?
The overall complexity remains low (BGG weight 1.5/5), but the zombie theme and new defense mechanics add an extra layer of challenge and urgency.
What does this expansion add to the game?
It introduces a zombie invasion theme, new sheets with defense-related objectives (barricades, ammo), and new ways to score, while maintaining the core 'Welcome To...' mechanics.
Is it possible to play solo with this expansion?
Yes! The 'Welcome To...' series already has solo modes, and this expansion integrates with them, offering a thematic challenge for solo players.
Does the game become longer with the expansion?
The estimated playtime (25-25 min) generally stays the same. The new actions might add a bit of decision time, but the simultaneous action selection helps maintain the pace.
