About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're into zombie apocalypse action that never stops, Zombicide Season 3: Rue Morgue is your jam! Here, you and a bunch of friends (up to 12!) team up to blast hordes of undead controlled by the game itself. The vibe is cooperative, so unity is key against the never-ending zombie spawns. Each survivor has unique skills, and the goal is simple: find cool weapons, gain experience, get stronger, and, of course, survive! But beware, the more powerful you become, the more zombies you attract – the game knows how to make things tough!
Rue Morgue brings new elements to amp up the action: get ready for the dreaded Skinner Zombie, which can crawl after you if not dealt with properly, and the A-Bomb Abomination, a mutated monster with long arms that pulls you back towards it. To face these threats, forming teams with complementary skills is essential. Team fun is the focus, featuring the largest pool of survivors yet in the Zombicide series. And for those who crave an extra challenge, the season introduces an optional player-versus-player mode, where survivor teams can go head-to-head to see who truly deserves to survive the chaos. If the zombie apocalypse isn't scary enough for you, perhaps the conflict between humans themselves will be your biggest nightmare. Get ready for plenty of dice rolling, card management, and a modular board that changes with every game. It's pure adrenaline and team strategy to stay alive!
