About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an extra dose of honorable samurai and undead in this Kickstarter exclusive expansion pack for the Zombicide series! "Virtues of the Bushido" injects seven new survivors with an unwavering code of honor into your battlefield against the zombie horde. These warriors from feudal Japan are ready to wield their katanas and spears, facing overwhelming odds with courage and determination, even if it means laying down their own lives for the greater good.
This pack isn't just about the heroes; it also brings equipment cards to boost your arsenal and ID cards for each of these brave new additions. The cooperative mechanic that made Zombicide famous remains strong, requiring you and your friends to work as a team to strategize, eliminate threats, and perhaps survive another apocalyptic day. The setting blends medieval fantasy with zombie horror, creating a unique scenario where samurai discipline meets the unbridled chaos of the infected. If you already enjoy Zombicide and want more characters with a different flavor, or if you're a fan of samurai and good old zombie-slaying combat, this expansion promises to bring more excitement and challenges to your game nights.
