To get started, organize the board according to the mission chosen in the manual. Each mission has its own layout and specific objectives.

Each player chooses a survivor. All survivors start at level "Blue". Take the survivors' identity cards and arrange their miniatures on the game board.

Each turn, the active player can perform three actions: move, search, change, open doors, fight or make noise. Use your actions strategically to complete the objectives and survive.

After the turn of all players, the zombie phase begins. Move the zombies according to the rules in the manual: they move where they hear the most noise or where they see a survivor.

Every time zombies are eliminated, players gain experience, eventually increasing the danger level. Check the zombie invasion cards to see how many new zombies appear and where.

Complete the mission objectives by cooperating with other survivors. Remember that teamwork is crucial to surviving and winning the game.

Tips for playing Zombicide: Second Edition

Here are some tips for doing better in the game Zombicide: Second Edition:

• Use noises as a strategy: direct groups of zombies down certain paths to open up safe routes.
• Equip the survivors with weapons that complement their abilities to maximize combat efficiency.
• Manage your inventory well, discarding less useful items to make room for more powerful weapons or cards.
• Don't neglect the importance of teamwork, especially when facing abominations or large hordes.
• Explore the buildings strategically; avoid opening too many doors in the first few rounds so as not to increase the flow of zombies.

Mechanics of Zombicide: Second Edition

• Players with Different Skills: Each character in Zombicide: Second Edition has unique abilities that evolve as the game progresses. These abilities are activated by accumulating experience, represented by a marker, allowing players to customize their strategic approaches and make tactical decisions based on their characters' unique abilities.
• Rolling dice: This mechanic determines the success of actions such as combat and searching for items. Each weapon or action has an attack value that defines how many dice to roll and the number needed to succeed. Rolling creates randomness, requiring players to adapt their strategies based on the results.
• Modular tray: The game uses modular board pieces that can be rearranged to create different maps and challenges in each session. This offers significant replayability, as each configuration changes the layout of danger zones, items and zombie spawns.
• Cooperative: All players work together against the game system, facing hordes of zombies controlled by automatic rules. Cooperation is essential to overcome challenges, as players must combine strengths and skills to complete the objectives of the scenario.
• Team play: Each match encourages coordination between players, requiring strategic discussions to manage threats and resources. Players share information and make collective decisions, adjusting their actions to protect each other and achieve objectives.
• Scenario / Mission / Campaign: The game features a series of interconnected scenarios that form campaigns. Each scenario has specific objectives - such as rescuing survivors or finding supplies - and can have different victory conditions. Campaigns connect matches, providing a continuous narrative and challenging players to adapt their strategies in response to the evolution of the story.
