About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever had that moment where your crew wants to play Zombicide: Black Plague, but the group grew and you ran out of space at the table? Hero Box 1 is here to solve exactly that. It's not a standalone game, but an essential reinforcement pack for those looking to expand their roster of survivors and, more importantly, the number of players in a session.

Inside this box, you'll find five new heroes ready to face the medieval zombie apocalypse: Glynda Battlestout, Julian, Sylvia Samedi, Tucker, and Arnaud. Each comes with their own detailed miniature and ID card, bringing varied abilities that shift the dynamics of combat and exploration. If you enjoy experimenting with different strategies, having more character options is key to keeping the game fresh.

But the real game-changer here is the support gear. Hero Box 1 provides two extra plastic dashboards, complete with colored trackers and bases. This means you can bring two more friends into the fray, scaling up the carnage. It's the perfect solution for turning a game night into a full-scale survival event without having to rely on makeshift notes to track the health or experience of extra players.

If you already own the base game and feel like your table is too small for all the zombie-slaying ambition, this kit is the ideal upgrade. Spend less time figuring out who gets to play and more time smashing undead with medieval weaponry!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Can I play with only the Hero Box 1?
No! It's an expansion. You absolutely need the Zombicide: Black Plague base game to use these characters.
How many extra players can I add with this kit?
The box comes with 2 extra plastic dashboards, allowing 2 more people to join the game.
What exactly is inside the box?
You get 5 survivor miniatures, 5 ID cards, and 2 plastic dashboards with their respective colored trackers.
Are the new characters too complex?
Not at all; they follow the same logic as the base game. Each has a special power, but the learning curve is minimal.
Is it worth it if I already play with the maximum number of people?
Yes, because you get 5 new characters to vary your group composition and test new tactics.
