About the game
Hey Zombicide crew! If you're an old-school fan with a massive 1st Edition collection but want to dive headfirst into the 2nd Edition without leaving your beloved zombies and companions behind, the Zombies & Companions Upgrade Kit is your apocalyptic passport to the future! Just imagine: all those awesome miniatures you already own, now with brand-new cards, fully compatible with the 2nd Edition rules and aesthetic. It's the perfect way to give your collection a new lease on life (or should we say 'afterlife'?) by seamlessly integrating it into the latest system.

This kit brings an arsenal of 135 cards, updating everything you need to bring 1st Edition special zombies and companions into the 2nd Edition universe. The cards have been redesigned with optimized organization, more zombie spawns per card, and of course, those scattered Zombie Rushes to keep the adrenaline pumping. With card backs identical to 2nd Edition, just shuffle them in and get to zombie hunting! You'll find cards for Special Abominations (A-Bomb, Berzerker, Toxic), Toxic Zombies, Berserker Zombies, Skinner Zombies, Seeker Zombies, Dogz, Crowz, V.I.P. Zombies, Lost Zombivors, and a host of Human and Dog Companions. It's like a 'firmware upgrade' for your undead collection, ensuring your missions are even more varied and challenging. Get ready for turbocharged zombie chaos!
