About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already diving into the space chaos of Zombicide: Invader and feel your squad needs reinforcements, Soldier Extras is the perfect package. Originally created as Kickstarter exclusive content for the Soldier pledge level, this supplement expands the survivor roster and, more importantly, ramps up the board's lethality with new alien threats.

On the hero side, you get four new survivors: Massimo, Kilgore, 'Frank', and Doctor Fischer. Each brings their own unique abilities, allowing you to craft different strategies to face the Xeno hordes. If you enjoy varying your group composition to test who is better at melee combat or who provides the best support, these new characters provide that extra flexibility.

But don't think it's all a win for the humans. The game also adds new biological nightmares. The Xenium Horror and the Brood Mother are Abominations that come with specific cards to dictate their behavior and cause mayhem. Furthermore, the Brood Mother brings along 8 Brood Children, ensuring you never feel alone (or safe) in the ship's corridors. It's the kind of content that doesn't overhaul the basic rules but adds layers of variety and difficulty, making the survival experience richer and more dangerous. If you want more character variety and scarier monsters to slaughter, this kit is the way to go.
