About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're a fan of Zombicide and enjoy the Jovem Nerd universe, this little box is for you! This expansion brings four brand-new characters inspired by the Chronicles of Ruff Ghanor, ready to face the hordes of the undead in Zombicide: Black Plague. Get ready to relive the adventures of Ruff Ghanor, Korin, Johrgrund, and The Prior in the form of exclusive miniatures. The gameplay remains the same as you already know and love: use your action points to move, attack, and use special abilities, all while managing your hand of cards and hoping the dice roll in your favor. The modular board ensures that each mission is a new challenge, and each survivor's unique powers add that extra layer of strategy. It's a great choice for those who want to add a special touch to their Zombicide: Black Plague games with characters that have a bit of Brazilian flair and a lot of attitude. The language dependency is minimal, so the fun is guaranteed without barriers. This box is an invitation to expand your adventures with a touch of humor and national pop culture, maintaining the usual adrenaline rush against the zombies.

This expansion adds new heroes to Zombicide: Black Plague, coming directly from Jovem Nerd's Ruff Ghanor universe. With them, you'll have more tactical options and charismatic characters for your cooperative matches. The focus is on bringing the essence of these characters to the battlefield, with abilities that reflect their personalities and stories. The action point mechanic allows you to plan your turns carefully, deciding whether to advance, attack multiple enemies, or use a special ability that can change the course of the game. Dice rolling adds an element of luck, but hand management and character powers help mitigate bad luck and create powerful combos. The experience is fully cooperative, so work as a team to survive and complete objectives. If you enjoy Zombicide and want to add a touch of humor and Brazilian references to your game, this box is an excellent addition. The miniatures are a highlight, perfect for collectors and players who appreciate good visuals.
