About the game
If you're already into the cooperative zombie-slaying action of Zombicide and want to add a special touch to your Black Plague games, this little box is for you! The "Special Guest Box – Karl Kopinski" brings four brand-new survivors, all designed by the master Karl Kopinski. Think of them as that heavy reinforcement you needed to face the most sinister hordes. These are four unique characters, each with their own abilities to help you survive (or not!) this whole mess. The box itself is an expansion, so remember you need the Zombicide: Black Plague base game to use these warriors. The fantasy theme with a touch of horror and zombies remains strong, and the classic Zombicide gameplay, with its action points, dice rolling, and hand management, is still present. The beauty here is adding more variety and characters with distinct powers to your group, making each game even more unpredictable and fun. If you're a fan of card play, rolling dice to see who dies first (or who survives!), and working as a team to avoid becoming zombie chow, this expansion adds an extra spice that's worth checking out. It's one of those additions that make a difference for those looking to explore all the nuances of this chaotic universe.
