About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for more zombie carnage with Gilbert and Mortimer, two exclusive characters adding a special flavor to your Zombicide: Black Plague collection! If you already enjoy the cooperative action and undead-slaying of this series, this duo is a must-have. Sir Gilbert, the loyal and somewhat eccentric knight, believes zombies are just headless chickens and the solution is to chop off their heads and keep chopping. King Mortimer, a monarch who preferred quests to ruling, now leads his knights (or what's left of them) against the plague ravaging his kingdom. This dynamic duo was originally released as part of an exclusive Kickstarter campaign for Black Plague, bringing detailed miniatures and unique character cards to life for these peculiar survivors. They bring not only more tactical options but also a touch of humor and lore that enriches the gameplay experience. If you're looking to expand your arsenal against the hordes or simply want to add these charismatic characters to your games, Gilbert and Mortimer are the right choice for Zombicide fans who want more content for their apocalyptic adventures. They integrate perfectly with the base game, offering new abilities and challenges to overcome together. Prepare your dice, sharpen your swords, and let's go! The fight against the undead continues, now with heavy (and slightly crazy!) reinforcements!
