About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever imagined being surrounded by hundreds of undead with barely any ammo and only your friends to rely on? Welcome to Zombicide! Here, you and your crew take on the roles of survivors, each with unique abilities, trying not to become zombie food while completing desperate missions. The game is fully cooperative: either you plan every step together, or the horde will swallow you whole.

The dynamics are simple yet tense. You use action points to move, search for weapons, or attack. The zombies are predictable and mindless, but their sheer number is the real problem. The game features a delicious vicious cycle: the more zombies you kill, the more experienced your character becomes. The catch? The more powerful you get, the more zombies spawn to take you down. It's a constant race between evolving and surviving.

The board is modular, meaning every scenario is different, keeping the experience fresh. You can play the ten included missions, download new challenges online, or even create your own maps to torture your friends. With detailed miniatures and a dice-based combat system, the immersion is complete. If you love B-horror movies, zombie hordes, and that 'we've almost made it!' feeling right before everything goes south, Zombicide is your perfect pick. Grab your shotgun, coordinate with your team, and remember: the only way out is through Zombicide!
