About the game

What you do in a play session

Zombicide: No Rest for the Wicked is the expansion that takes the classic undead horde-fighting game to a whole new level of adrenaline. Picture a setting where the very ground is tainted by dark magic: nearly immortal zombies, necromantic dragons, and swarms of undead rats swarm every corner. What’s new? You can now pick from fresh characters, each with a unique power, and deploy a siege ballista that flips the tide against the monsters. The game remains cooperative, so you and your friends must coordinate attacks, defend key points, and survive increasingly brutal waves. Dice are the heartbeat of combat: roll, compare, and see if your action lands. Variable player powers ensure each game feels fresh, as no two players have the same abilities. The expansion adds more miniatures, damage tokens, and event cards, all designed to keep the tension high. If you love zombies, miniatures, and a solid cooperative challenge, this expansion will turbo‑charge your sessions. Get ready: there’s no rest for the wicked, and the only way out is to survive and win!
