Zombicide: 2nd Edition
The Frogames review
Co-operative zombie game: six survivors, dice, weapons and an ever-growing horde
You've just opened a door with the Fire Axe, and in the dark rooms of the building, Walkers, a Brute and perhaps something worse appear.
You're one of the Survivors in a city overrun by Walkers, Brutes, Runners and Abominations. You need weapons, supplies and a way out: you search buildings, open Pimp Weapon Crates and, in some Missions, drive Pimpmobiles and Police Cars.
Each Survivor has 3 Actions per turn: moving, Searching, opening doors, fighting, trading and taking Objectives. Then the Zombies attack or move towards the Noise, and more spawn based on the highest Adrenaline level. You win by completing the Mission Objectives. Lose a single Survivor and everyone loses.
Released in 2021, designed by Raphaël Guiton, Jean-Baptiste Lullien and Nicolas Raoult, produced by CMON with Guillotine Games and published in Italy by Asmodee. Artwork by Édouard Guiton and Eric Nouhaut.

At a glance
Why we like it. Noise and Adrenaline tie every choice together: each Zombie you kill makes the team stronger but makes the horde grow. Weapons, Wounds and risks are shared, and each Mission brings a new map and a new goal.
Good to know. Losing just one Survivor means losing the game, and dice decide the outcome of every attack.
