This expansion introduces three colossal monsters, the Abominations, who aren't playing around and will force your group to rethink every single defensive strategy. First up is the Abominotaur, the ultimate architectural nightmare. Forget the safety of locked doors or solid walls; this brute simply smashes through everything in its path, leaving a trail of rubble that actually opens new routes for the rest of the zombie horde to invade your hideout. Then we have the Abominatroll, the definition of 'stupid but deadly.' He wanders aimlessly, but if you're careless and enter his line of sight, he goes berserk, gaining extra actions to hunt you down with terrifying fury. To round out the trio, the Ablobination brings pure chaos with its freakishly huge arm. If it spots you, it doesn't just attack one target; it unleashes devastating blows on all surrounding zones simultaneously. It's essentially a hurricane of flesh and destruction that forces survivors to keep their distance or die trying. These bosses completely shift the game's dynamics, turning the experience into something much more tactical and tense. You're no longer just clearing streets; you're facing monsters that can tear down your base and massacre your group in seconds. It's the perfect upgrade for those who want to crank up the difficulty and add that flavor of desperation that every horror fan loves. ## How to Play Game Objective The game Zombicide: Black Plague - Zombie Bosses adds new threats to your Zombicide: Black Plague game. The main objective of the players, as heroes, is to confront and defeat these infected war machines, which are legendary creatures that have returned with insane fury due to the zombie plague. While they are easy to spot, killing them is another story. Players must overcome these challenges to achieve victory, which usually involves completing the main mission objectives of Zombicide: Black Plague, now with the added difficulty of these new bosses. Setup To include the Zombie Bosses in your game, the process is quite simple: Add the Zombie cards corresponding to the Abominations (Ablobination, Abominatroll, and Abominotaur) to the standard Zombie Cards pile. Refer to the manual for details on this section. Gameplay Flow Refer to the manual for details on this section. Actions and How to Play The Abominations (Ablobination, Abominatroll, and Abominotaur) share some general rules but also possess special abilities: General Abomination Rules Minimum Damage to Destroy: 3 Damage. Experience Provided: 5 Experience Points. Special Rules Abominatroll: Can only be killed with Dragon Fire (including Dragon Fire effects). Has 3 Actions to spend whenever it activates and has Line of Sight to a Survivor (or more). After all Zombies go through the Activation Phase and resolve their first Action (including Runners and Abominatrolls), the Abominatroll goes through the Activation Phase again, using its second Action to Attack a Survivor in its Zone or Move if there is no one to Attack. Then, the Abominatroll goes through the Activation Phase a third time, using its third Action to Attack a Survivor in its Zone or Move if there is no one to Attack. Ablobination: Attacks whenever it activates and has Line of Sight to a Survivor (or more) in Range 0-1. Then, it performs an Attack on Survivors in ALL Zones in Range 0-1 that it has Line of Sight to. Obstacles that prevent Movement between Zones (like walls) also prevent such an Attack. Target Priority Order This is the priority order for targeting Zombies. When multiple targets share the same Target Priority Order, players choose which ones are eliminated first. Walker (1 Action, 1 Minimum Damage to Destroy, 1 Experience Point) Fatty / Abomination (any type) (1 Action, 2/3 Minimum Damage to Destroy, 1/5 Experience Points) Runner (2 Actions, 1 Minimum Damage to Destroy, 1 Experience Point) Zombie Wolfz (3 Actions, 1 Minimum Damage to Destroy, 1 Experience Point) Necromancer (1 Action, 1 Minimum Damage to Destroy, 1 Experience Point) End of Game and Scoring Refer to the manual for details on this section. Tips for Winning Prioritize eliminating Abominatrolls with Dragon Fire, as they are immune to other types of Damage. Be aware of the Abominatroll's multiple Actions and plan your movements and attacks to avoid being caught by its repeated attacks. When facing an Ablobination, position your Survivors to prevent it from having Line of Sight to multiple Zones in Range 0-1, especially if there are Obstacles that can block its area attacks. ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game to use this pack?
