## Description
If you love the thrill of surviving zombie hordes while trying not to be swallowed by a virus, the Black Plague Special Guest Box – Paul Bonner is the expansion you’ve been missing. The set brings four new survivors, each with unique abilities that add layers of strategy to the base game. Paul Bonner, the designer behind these figures, has a background ranging from children’s book illustrations to work with Games Workshop, and that shows in the attention to detail of the miniatures and the fluidity of the actions.

The set keeps the action‑point mechanic that is a cornerstone of Zombicide, but adds variations in character abilities, allowing each player to choose a different play style. The modular board remains in play, letting you assemble varied scenarios that guarantee replayability. The game supports 1‑6 players and lasts about 60 minutes, keeping the adrenaline high without demanding hours of dedication.

In addition to the figures, the expansion includes survivor cards, new monsters, and items that enrich the experience. Hand management remains crucial: each player must decide when to use their cards to maximize impact during combat phases. The horror and fantasy atmosphere stays intact, with settings that evoke decaying cities full of ravenous zombies.

In short, the Black Plague Special Guest Box is a solid addition that expands the Zombicide universe without changing the game’s core. If you already own the base game and want more challenges and memorable characters, this expansion is a sure bet.
