About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are a fan of Zombicide and love John Kovalic's iconic art style, this Special Guest Box is a must-have for your collection. This expansion introduces four unique survivors based on the Dork Tower webcomic, each with a distinct personality and playstyle that perfectly captures the chaos and humor of Kovalic's work. Forget the standard survivors for a moment and meet the crew: Matt, the RPG master who has finally found a challenge worthy of his skills; Gilly, a tough cosplayer who has absolutely no patience for fanboys or the undead; Igor, who seems to have looted an entire arsenal of rocket launchers from somewhere unknown; and Carson, a muskrat who, despite his small size, operates a vintage British Bren Carrier with terrifying efficiency. While it doesn't add complex new mechanics, the real highlight here is the aesthetic variety and the charisma of the characters, which breathe fresh air into your survival missions. The quality of the miniatures matches the high standard of the Zombicide series, making them perfect for both gameplay and for those who enjoy painting detailed figures. If you already know the core rules, integrating these survivors is simple and quick, allowing you to start wreaking havoc on the infested streets immediately. It is the kind of expansion that doesn't reinvent the game, but enriches the experience with characters that have personality and backstories, making every session a bit more fun and full of geek culture references. Whether you are looking to complete your collection or just want to rotate your hero selection to face the hordes, this box is a fantastic tribute to tabletop gaming culture and Kovalic's talent. Get ready to see the zombie apocalypse from a much more sarcastic and well-armed perspective, where every survivor has a personal reason to ensure no zombie is left standing. It is guaranteed fun for anyone who wants to watch the world burn while rolling dice and trying not to get eaten.
