About the game
What you do in a play session
Dakota is a survivor who left her criminal past behind and now battles hordes of zombies in a tense, action-packed setting. The Zombicide Survivor: Dakota expansion brings a fresh character that blends fast-paced action, hand management, and player-specific powers. With 40 detailed miniatures, you can place Dakota at the heart of the fray, facing zombies that emerge from every corner of the modular board. The action‑point mechanic ensures every move counts, while dice rolls determine combat outcomes and event results. Dakota’s storyline mixes dark humor and redemption, offering improvised dialogue that shifts based on other survivors’ reactions, making each game feel unique. The expansion doesn’t replace the base game but serves as an add‑on that expands combat and strategic options. Additionally, Dakota’s zombie version, Zombivor, is a bonus exclusive to those who backed a higher pledge on the Kickstarter campaign, adding even more fun to the scenario. If you love zombies, miniatures, and solid cooperative challenges, Dakota will deliver hours of adrenaline and group enjoyment.
