About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I need more zombies and more friends to take them down with in Zombicide," then the Friends and Foes expansion is for you! It supercharges Zombicide: Green Horde (or Black Plague, if you prefer) with a ton of new stuff that will make your game sessions even more chaotic and fun. On the "Friends" side, you get new Survivors to choose from, each with their own unique tricks and abilities. And to help this crew, there are even some loyal critters, the Familiars, who lend a hand on missions. On the "Foes" side, things get tougher! Introducing Tainted Walkers and a formidable Abomination, those zombies you definitely want to keep at a distance. To complete the disastrous scenario, there are 5 new tiles bringing unexpected traps and dangers, plus 10 new Quests to test your courage (and your luck with the dice rolls!). This expansion brings a varied cast of characters, including a sharpshooter, a powerful mage, a sturdy squire, and even a half-orc. The new equipment cards and spells give an extra boost to your strategies, with highlights like the Wave of Power spell and the Heavy Sword and Dagger combination. But beware, the Provoked Zombies, like the Slow Provoked and the Provoked Abomination, are more dangerous and even spew acid when they die! Get ready for more challenges, more miniatures, and more apocalyptic fun!
