About the game

What you do in a play session

Sharpen your fantasy blades, because winter has arrived in the most sinister way possible! Zombicide: White Death – Eternal Empire is the campaign expansion you've been waiting for to take the Zombicide chaos to an epic scale. Forget modern cities; here, the setting is a medieval empire hidden within frozen lands, where the zombie plague has found a new and terrifying home.

This isn't just a 'more of the same' expansion. We are talking about a full narrative journey consisting of 10 interconnected quests. You know that RPG feeling where your choices actually matter? That's exactly it! Every decision made during a quest can lead to glorious outcomes or catastrophic ramifications in future missions. Your survivors don't just fight; they evolve: accumulate experience, unlock new skills, and secure high-end equipment to endure the next frost.

What's new in the loot pile? Beyond new areas to explore and zombie types that will keep you on edge, this expansion introduces the 'Chi' mechanic, bringing a completely fresh combat element to the system. And for the collectors out there, the Kickstarter version features the star-crossed lovers Chang E and Hou Yi as exclusive survivors. If you're already a fan of Zombicide's dynamics, get ready to manage resources, plan tactics, and, of course, try not to get eaten amidst the snow and steel!
