## Description
Alright, folks! Get ready to dive deep into the Zombicide universe with Dark Side, a brand-new core box that brings all the adrenaline you've come to expect, but with a space and underground twist. Here, you and your friends take on the role of the brave soldiers of Green Squad, tasked with the unenviable mission of exploring the underground mining facilities of PK-L7. And, of course, it wouldn't be Zombicide without a new and terrifying threat: the Drillers! These red xenos are a spectacle, using the pits dug by the Driller Abomination for extra protection and to launch surprise attacks that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Oh, and as if that weren't enough, the crushing darkness of the tunnels will be your worst enemy, severely hampering ranged combat. But don't worry, Green Squad isn't alone! With brand-new equipment at your disposal and new tactics to learn, you just might stand a chance of making it out of this mess. Dark Side is perfect for those looking to start in the Zombicide sci-fi universe, but it's also fully compatible with Zombicide: Invader, acting as an expansion that supercharges your experience with even more content. In other words, it's a sure bet for anyone seeking intense cooperative action, awesome miniatures, and challenges that will test your strategy to the limit. Shall we?
