About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever felt like your survivor squad in Zombicide: Black Plague needed a bit more flair? The Special Guest Box – Naïade is exactly that: an expansion pack focused on bringing fresh faces (and new abilities) to your table. Designed by the artist Naïade, this box adds four new survivors to diversify your game dynamics.

Among the new recruits, you'll find characters like Merieil the Apprentice and Milo Thundergut, each bringing their own unique flavor to the fight against the undead hordes. However, the real standout here is Ostokar the Pale. He isn't just another survivor; Ostokar offers the option to serve as a special Necromancer, shifting the vibe of the match. To support this mechanic, the box includes 6 specific Spawn cards for this Necromancer, adding layers of danger and strategy to the modular board.

As is typical for the Zombicide line, the focus remains on total cooperation. You'll need to manage your action points, roll the dice, and hope luck is on your side while exploring terrifying scenarios. Adding these characters allows the group to experiment with new power combinations, making survival a bit more dynamic and, perhaps, slightly less desperate. If you already enjoy detailed miniatures and the tension of being surrounded by zombies in a dark fantasy world, these new survivors are the perfect addition to upgrade your roster of heroes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Can I play this box as a standalone game?
No, it's an expansion. You must own Zombicide: Black Plague to use these characters.
What's inside the box?
You get 4 new survivor miniatures (including Ostokar, Merieil, and Milo) and 6 Spawn cards for the Necromancer.
Does it make the game harder?
It depends! New characters bring new powers that can help, but the Necromancer adds new challenges via the Spawn cards.
How many players is it for?
Since the base game supports 1 to 6 players, these new survivors are used to fill those slots or replace existing characters.
Is it complex to learn?
If you already know Zombicide, it's instant. If you're new, the weight is light-medium (2/5), making it very accessible.
