Get ready for an epic twist on the zombie apocalypse with Zombicide: Black Plague! Forget urban settings and prepare for a medieval fantasy world, where dark Necromancers have unleashed a plague of the undead. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guide a group of survivors – who can be paladins, dwarves, knights, or mages – not only to stay alive, but to reclaim the realm and punish those responsible for this calamity.
This Zombicide reimagines the classic rules, retaining all the frantic action and tense atmosphere that made the original game a hit, but with a touch of sorcery and swords. Equip your heroes with chainmail armor, shields, crossbows, and even spell books to cast devastating enchantments. How about igniting a pool of dragon bile to create an inferno of dragon fire? Exploration takes you from medieval streets to secret vaults, offering quick passages through the citadel and, who knows, special artifacts.
Hunt down the elusive Necromancers before they can multiply the zombie hordes even further. Each mission is a new challenge, and your group could become the legendary heroes of the land... or the last victims of the massacre. With a modular board, variable player powers, and plenty of dice rolling, Zombicide: Black Plague promises hours of cooperative, strategic fun against the forces of darkness.
