About this board game

Welcome to the chilling yet thrilling world of Zombicide: Green Horde, a cooperative board game that thrusts you and your friends into a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested territory. This intense survival game is a standalone sequel to the popular Zombicide: Black Plague, but elevates the genre to new heights with unique mechanics and a fresh, immersive setting.

Set in a grim fantasy world, Zombicide: Green Horde pits players against hordes of undead, known in this game as zombies. The theme is grim and eerie, as players navigate through dark forests, crumbling castles, and haunted villages, each of which may hide unspeakable horrors. Along the way, players will find artifacts of power to bolster their fight against the relentless horde.

What makes Zombicide: Green Horde stand out is its emphasis on cooperative gameplay. Each player controls one or more survivors, each with unique abilities. Working together is essential to survive, as the zombies are numerous and relentless. Players must strategically plan their moves, manage their resources, and coordinate their attacks to repel the zombie onslaught.

The core mechanics of the game are straightforward. The game is played in turns, with each player’s turn consisting of three phases: Action, Zombie, and End. In the Action phase, players can move, search for items, fight zombies, or perform special actions. The Zombie phase sees the zombies moving and attacking, while new zombies spawn. The End phase resets the game for the next player’s turn. The game ends when all players have either achieved the mission objective or been overwhelmed by the zombies.

However, what truly sets Zombicide: Green Horde apart is its Horde mechanic. This mechanic adds an additional layer of tension and strategy, as every zombie the players kill goes into the Horde. When the Horde is unleashed, all the zombies in the Horde enter the game board, creating a massive wave of undead that players must deal with. This mechanic ensures that every action has consequence and adds a thrilling risk-reward dynamic to the gameplay.
