About this expansion

Zombicide: Box of Dogs – Set #6: Dog Companions is a 2013 expansion for 1–6 players, with a playing time of 60 minutes.

This expansion set includes two sets of three different dogs. Their accompanying cards are placed in the equipment deck, bringing the dog companions into play when one of those cards is found.

When a player finds a dog card, that card’s holder becomes the dog’s handler. The handler can spend actions to direct the dog, giving the companion an active role during play rather than treating it as a passive addition.

  • Two sets of three different dogs
  • Dog cards shuffled into the equipment deck
  • Actions can command a dog to move, search, or attack
  • A handler gains extra melee dice when in the same zone as the dog

Dogs can be commanded to move, search, and attack, with actions spent to issue those commands. This gives handlers several ways to use their companions as the situation changes.

The dogs also provide a direct benefit in close combat. When a handler and dog occupy the same zone, the handler receives extra melee dice, making positioning an important part of using these companions effectively.

Zombicide: Box of Dogs – Set #6: Dog Companions adds equipment cards, dog companions, and command actions to the game while keeping its focus on coordinated movement, searching, and melee attacks.
