About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already into the zombie mayhem of Zombicide, get ready for another dose of chaos with the Zombicide: White Death – Chang E and Hou Yi Survivors expansion! This little gem brings two exclusive characters, Chang E and Hou Yi, straight from the crowdfunding campaigns. They're legendary partners, the kind you hear about in stories, you know? But here, their destiny is much bloodier: surviving a zombie apocalypse!
This expansion doesn't change the gameplay we already know and love (or hate, depending on the day). The idea is to continue the cooperative gameplay, where the gang unites to take down hordes of the undead, complete missions, and, hopefully, get out alive. Chang E and Hou Yi arrive with their unique powers, ready to add that special touch to your games. Think of them as the new favorites for those who want to diversify their team or simply have more hero options to save the world (or at least the part of it that hasn't become zombie chow yet).
As an expansion, it fits perfectly with the base games of the Zombicide series, adding more characters and, of course, more zombies to the count. The modular board mechanic ensures that each scenario is a new adventure, and the progressive turn order keeps the tension high. If you enjoy Zombicide and want to inject some new life with exclusive heroes and a dash of mythology, this expansion is a perfect fit. It's for those who love non-stop action, group strategy, and, of course, seeing a bunch of zombies turned into mush.
