JoeSondow: Updated Brute supply count to 16, after verifying maximum in gameplay.

===Overview===

This is a co-operative game

Zombicide has a number of missions to pick from, the top right on BGA will show you the win conditions for your particular Mission

===Setup===

As part of setup, players choose characters, there are always 6 characters regardless of players so these may end up distributed unevenly

There are two types of characters to choose from: Adults or Children (Note that this does NOT reflect difficulty or type of player to pick them). Children are shown by having a yellow head in the top right.

Children have 2 Health and get the Slippery Skill from the start as a bonus

Adults have 3 Health and do not get the Slippery Skill unless they can unlock it as part of natural progression

On BGA, you can click the yellow triangle on the right of a character to give a definition of some of the skills they can unlock

===The Map===

The Map is divided into a number of Zones

An outside zone is displayed by crosswalk borders, in addition it may be bordered by the edge of the map or by buildings

An inside zone is displayed by walls and door breaks

From an outside zone, an individual can see in orthogonal lines to as many other outside zones. An individual can only see one zone into a directly adjacent inside zone connected via an open door.

From an inside zone, an individual can see a distance of one zone into adjacent connected inside zones by open doors. An individual can see in an orthogonal line as many outside zones as long as they are in a zone adjacent to an open door.

===Equipment Cards===

Cards can be either Melee, Ranged, or Skills

A character can hold 2 Hand cards and 3 Backpack Cards. Unless the card states otherwise, Backpack cards cannot actively be used.

Weapons will either show a knife for Melee or a gun for Ranged

Ranged cards may have a bullet or shell symbol, there is no ammo consumption, but these symbols will indicate how they might interact with Skill cards e.g. a Skill card may only affect Shell ranged weapons

If a weapon has the red Dual Wield symbol on the top left, having two identical of this item will let you use the dual wield rules during combat

If a weapon has the white door symbol on the top left, this can be used to open doors

Cards will contain a noise indicator, a blue noise indicator means it makes no noise, a yellow noise indicator means it makes noise. Some cards may have both symbols, depending on how it's used e.g. combat may be silent, but door opening may be noisy

===Weapons in Combat===

From left to right, each weapon has 6 icons

The first shows the type, Melee or Ranged

The second shows the distance, usually with a min and max value. 0 is the zone the character currently resides, whilst 1 is the zone adjacent to you and so on.

The third shows how many dice are rolled when using this weapon

The fourth shows what value or higher you want to roll on each dice in order to count it as a success

The fifth shows how much damage a success grants

The sixth shows whether this weapon is noisy or silent

If a weapon had the red dual wield symbol, and you have a duplicate of it in each hand, you can use both weapons with one action as long as the same zone (not zombie) is targeted

You do not get to choose which specific zombie you attack with a Ranged weapon, just the Zone you attack, there is a Priority Order for the Zombies - 1st Brutes or Abominations (player choice), 2nd Walkers, 3rd Runners. What this means is if you attack a zone with 4 Walkers and a Runner, the Walkers will be hit first and until they are defeated or move on, the Runner cannot be hit with Ranged. However, Melee weapons allow you to choose specific targets.

Friendly Fire - If a zone contain a mix of Zombies and Characters, any Misses on a Ranged attack hit a Character of the group's choice instead. However, a character cannot accidentally shoot themself. If there are multiple Misses, and multiple Characters in the target zone, the group can distribute the damage as desired, whether that be split evenly or not hitting one character whilst another takes more.

===Adrenaline, Danger, and Character Leveling===

Each time a character kills a monster, that character gains a number of AP (Adrenaline Points)

Gaining enough AP allows that character to level up (Blue - Yellow - Orange - Red)

Each level up gives 1 Ability, some levels only give one ability so it's automatic, whilst others give multiple options but you can only choose 1 to take and the others are lost

Be aware that character levels are linked to danger levels, the highest character level in the group when zombies spawn determine which and how many zombies spawn based on the same blue/yellow/orange/red level. As mentioned, it's the highest character level which counts, so if one character is a blue, four are yellows, and one is orange then the zombie spawn will be of Orange level. As such, it's advised to try to stay around the same level for everyone, lagging behind will make it difficult for you!

===Zombies===

Zombies spawn at the beginning of the game as part of setup, whenever a door of a building is opened for the first time, or during their phase determined by the zombie deck and the current danger level. When a card is drawn for a zombie, it could be a normal card which simply spawns it, or a Rush card which spawns it and allows it to take an action, or an Activation card which does NOT spawn but instead allows all zombies of that type to take an action.

Zombies have a damage, health, Actions, and AP reward, and may have special rules

The four zombie types are:

Walkers have Damage 1, Health 1, Actions 1, AP 1. There are 40 in the supply.

Brutes have Damage 1, Health 2, Actions 1, AP 1, Special Rule: Only a Damage 2+ weapon or Molotov can have an impact on them. There are 16 in the supply.

Runners have Damage 1, Health 1, Actions 2, AP 1. There are 16 in the supply.

Abominations have Damage 1, Health 3, Actions 1, AP 5, Special Rule: Only a Damage 3+ weapon or a Molotov can have an impact on them. No weapon has a natural 3, a Skill or similar is needed.

===Abominations===

If an Abomination card is drawn, what happens depends on whether there is an Abomination out or not

If there is no Abomination, an abomination spawns

If there is an Abomination, that abomination takes an action

In this way, there will only ever be 1 Abomination active at most

There are 4 unique Abominations with their own rules

Hobomination - No combat action can be taken if you share a zone with this abomination

Abominacop - This abomination takes first priority in targeting order

Abominawild - Molotovs used in this abomination's zone only affect the abomination, nothing else is destroyed

Patient 0 - None

===Player Turn===

If you are controlling multiple characters, fully complete one character's turn before taking a different character's turn, but you can choose the order in which your characters act

A character starts with 3 Actions per turn, but this can be increased as they level. The actions are as follows:

Move - 1 Action to move to an adjacent Zone +1 Action per zombie in current zone. This means with the base 3 actions, if a character has 3 zombies in their zone, they cannot move. If movement takes a character into a zone with zombies they cannot continue moving even if they have enough actions to progress.

Search - Whilst in an Inside Zone with no Zombies, 1 action to draw an equipment card and either put it in Hand, put it in Backpack, or Discard it. If they put it in Hand/Backpack, they get a free action to redistribute the cards they currently hold however they like. If they have no space for the new item, during the redistribution they can choose a different item to discard. A Character can only perform 1 Search per turn, if they have a skill which gives them a Free Search this also counts as their 1 Search per turn.

Open Door - If the character holds an item in hand which contains the door symbol on the top left, they can spend 1 action to open a door adjacent to the zone they are in. Abnormal doors may require a mission based objective to be met before they can be opened. If the door was the first door to be opened for that building, spawn zombies in each Dark Zone of that building. If a rush card was drawn, the zombie will both spawn and take an action, which may mean they move into a Light Zone.

Trade - For 1 action, you can either trade with one other character in the same zone or redistribute your items between your Backpack and Hand. A trade does not have to be equal, it can be 1-for-1 or it could be a full take or a full give or some other arrangement agreed upon between the controlling players. The other character in the trade gets a free redistribution.

Noise - For 1 action you can place a noise token in your zone

Interact with Objective - For 1 Action you can interact with or take an objective, this effect can vary based on the Mission, but typically gives 5AP unless the Mission states otherwise.

Combat - For 1 action, you can use a weapon against a zone with Zombies, if you satisfy the condition for Dual Wield you can use a single action to use both weapons.

Wait - You can pass on any actions you don't wish to take

===Zombie Turn===

After all characters and thus all players have taken their turns, the zombies activate

First, attacks happen. Each zombie attacks a character in its zone, if there are multiple characters then the players choose which character takes the hit.

Second, movement happens. Each zombie which did not attack, as such has no characters in its zone, moves 1 zone. Where they move will depend on a few things. First, they'd like to go towards a zone (note they may not actually reach it) that has the most combined characters and noise tokens in it which is within its line of sight and contains at least 1 character. If there are no characters in its Line of Sight, then it moves towards the noisiest zone regardless of distance. Remember, character tokens count towards the noise level. If the path to the destination is blocked at any point between the zombie and the target zone, the zombie does not move at all. If the target zone has multiple routes of equal distance, the zombies split up as evenly as possible and take all the equidistant routes.

For Runners, they do this check twice, their first priority is always attack, with second priority being move. This means they could, in priority order, attack-attack, attack-move, or move-move

After activation, Spawn happens. In ascending order, from each numbered spawn point, draw a card to see what arrives corresponding with the current danger level, remember this is equal to the highest character level in all the group. Some spawn locations may be special, these do not spawn until the Mission tells you to, after a special spawn location starts spawning it continues spawning on each subsequent Spawn Phase, unless the mission says otherwise. If there are not enough zombies of a type to spawn what is needed, the zombies of that type get an activation instead.

===Special Modes and Missions===

The rulebook contains further clarifications on special modes and the specific Missions

===Game End===

The game is won when the Mission Objectives are all complete

The game is lost if a character dies

The game is lost if a game state causes a Mission Objective to be impossible to complete

The game is lost if a Mission specific Loss criteria is met

Search - Whilst in an Inside Zone with no Zombies, 1 action to draw an equipment card and either put it in Hand, put it in Backpack, or Discard it. If they put it in Hand/Backpack, they get a free action to redistribute the cards they currently hold however they like. If they have no space for the new item, during the redistribution they can choose a different item to discard. A Character can only perform 1 Search per turn, if they have a skill which gives them a Free Search this also counts as their 1 Search per turn.

Open Door - If the character holds an item in hand which contains the door symbol on the top left, they can spend 1 action to open a door adjacent to the zone they are in. Abnormal doors may require a mission based objective to be met before they can be opened. If the door was the first door to be opened for that building, spawn zombies in each Dark Zone of that building. If a rush card was drawn, the zombie will both spawn and take an action, which may mean they move into a Light Zone.

Trade - For 1 action, you can either trade with one other character in the same zone or redistribute your items between your Backpack and Hand. A trade does not have to be equal, it can be 1-for-1 or it could be a full take or a full give or some other arrangement agreed upon between the controlling players. The other character in the trade gets a free redistribution.

Noise - For 1 action you can place a noise token in your zone

Interact with Objective - For 1 Action you can interact with or take an objective, this effect can vary based on the Mission, but typically gives 5AP unless the Mission states otherwise.

Combat - For 1 action, you can use a weapon against a zone with Zombies, if you satisfy the condition for Dual Wield you can use a single action to use both weapons.

Wait - You can pass on any actions you don't wish to take

===Zombie Turn===

After all characters and thus all players have taken their turns, the zombies activate

First, attacks happen. Each zombie attacks a character in its zone, if there are multiple characters then the players choose which character takes the hit.

Second, movement happens. Each zombie which did not attack, as such has no characters in its zone, moves 1 zone. Where they move will depend on a few things. First, they'd like to go towards a zone (note they may not actually reach it) that has the most combined characters and noise tokens in it which is within its line of sight and contains at least 1 character. If there are no characters in its Line of Sight, then it moves towards the noisiest zone regardless of distance. Remember, character tokens count towards the noise level. If the path to the destination is blocked at any point between the zombie and the target zone, the zombie does not move at all. If the target zone has multiple routes of equal distance, the zombies split up as evenly as possible and take all the equidistant routes.

For Runners, they do this check twice, their first priority is always attack, with second priority being move. This means they could, in priority order, attack-attack, attack-move, or move-move

After activation, Spawn happens. In ascending order, from each numbered spawn point, draw a card to see what arrives corresponding with the current danger level, remember this is equal to the highest character level in all the group. Some spawn locations may be special, these do not spawn until the Mission tells you to, after a special spawn location starts spawning it continues spawning on each subsequent Spawn Phase, unless the mission says otherwise. If there are not enough zombies of a type to spawn what is needed, the zombies of that type get an activation instead.

===Special Modes and Missions===

The rulebook contains further clarifications on special modes and the specific Missions

===Game End===

The game is won when the Mission Objectives are all complete

The game is lost if a character dies

The game is lost if a game state causes a Mission Objective to be impossible to complete

The game is lost if a Mission specific Loss criteria is met

JoeSondow: Updated Fattys reference to new Brutes term

===Overview===

This is a co-operative game

Zombicide has a number of missions to pick from, the top right on BGA will show you the win conditions for your particular Mission

===Setup===

As part of setup, players choose characters, there are always 6 characters regardless of players so these may end up distributed unevenly

There are two types of characters to choose from: Adults or Children (Note that this does NOT reflect difficulty or type of player to pick them). Children are shown by having a yellow head in the top right.

Children have 2 Health and get the Slippery Skill from the start as a bonus

Adults have 3 Health and do not get the Slippery Skill unless they can unlock it as part of natural progression

On BGA, you can click the yellow triangle on the right of a character to give a definition of some of the skills they can unlock

===The Map===

The Map is divided into a number of Zones

An outside zone is displayed by crosswalk borders, in addition it may be bordered by the edge of the map or by buildings

An inside zone is displayed by walls and door breaks

From an outside zone, an individual can see in orthogonal lines to as many other outside zones. An individual can only see one zone into a directly adjacent inside zone connected via an open door.

From an inside zone, an individual can see a distance of one zone into adjacent connected inside zones by open doors. An individual can see in an orthogonal line as many outside zones as long as they are in a zone adjacent to an open door.

===Equipment Cards===

Cards can be either Melee, Ranged, or Skills

A character can hold 2 Hand cards and 3 Backpack Cards. Unless the card states otherwise, Backpack cards cannot actively be used.

Weapons will either show a knife for Melee or a gun for Ranged

Ranged cards may have a bullet or shell symbol, there is no ammo consumption, but these symbols will indicate how they might interact with Skill cards e.g. a Skill card may only affect Shell ranged weapons

If a weapon has the red Dual Wield symbol on the top left, having two identical of this item will let you use the dual wield rules during combat

If a weapon has the white door symbol on the top left, this can be used to open doors

Cards will contain a noise indicator, a blue noise indicator means it makes no noise, a yellow noise indicator means it makes noise. Some cards may have both symbols, depending on how it's used e.g. combat may be silent, but door opening may be noisy

6 Starting Equipment cards:

===Weapons in Combat===

From left to right, each weapon has 6 icons

The first shows the type, Melee or Ranged

The second shows the distance, usually with a min and max value. 0 is the zone the character currently resides, whilst 1 is the zone adjacent to you and so on.

The third shows how many dice are rolled when using this weapon

The fourth shows what value or higher you want to roll on each dice in order to count it as a success

The fifth shows how much damage a success grants

The sixth shows whether this weapon is noisy or silent

If a weapon had the red dual wield symbol, and you have a duplicate of it in each hand, you can use both weapons with one action as long as the same zone (not zombie) is targeted

You do not get to choose which specific zombie you attack with a Ranged weapon, just the Zone you attack, there is a Priority Order for the Zombies - 1st Brutes or Abominations (player choice), 2nd Walkers, 3rd Runners. What this means is if you attack a zone with 4 Walkers and a Runner, the Walkers will be hit first and until they are defeated or move on, the Runner cannot be hit with Ranged. However, Melee weapons allow you to choose specific targets.

Friendly Fire - If a zone contain a mix of Zombies and Characters, any Misses on a Ranged attack hit a Character of the group's choice instead. However, a character cannot accidentally shoot themself. If there are multiple Misses, and multiple Characters in the target zone, the group can distribute the damage as desired, whether that be split evenly or not hitting one character whilst another takes more.

===Adrenaline, Danger, and Character Leveling===

Each time a character kills a monster, that character gains a number of AP (Adrenaline Points)

Gaining enough AP allows that character to level up (Blue - Yellow - Orange - Red)

Each level up gives 1 Ability, some levels only give one ability so it's automatic, whilst others give multiple options but you can only choose 1 to take and the others are lost

Be aware that character levels are linked to danger levels, the highest character level in the group when zombies spawn determine which and how many zombies spawn based on the same blue/yellow/orange/red level. As mentioned, it's the highest character level which counts, so if one character is a blue, four are yellows, and one is orange then the zombie spawn will be of Orange level. As such, it's advised to try to stay around the same level for everyone, lagging behind will make it difficult for you!

===Zombies===

Zombies spawn at the beginning of the game as part of setup, whenever a door of a building is opened for the first time, or during their phase determined by the zombie deck and the current danger level. When a card is drawn for a zombie, it could be a normal card which simply spawns it, or a Rush card which spawns it and allows it to take an action, or an Activation card which does NOT spawn but instead allows all zombies of that type to take an action.

Zombies have a damage, health, Actions, and AP reward, and may have special rules

The four zombie types are:

Walkers have Damage 1, Health 1, Actions 1, AP 1. There are 40 in the supply.

Brutes have Damage 1, Health 2, Actions 1, AP 1, Special Rule: Only a Damage 2+ weapon or Molotov can have an impact on them.

Runners have Damage 1, Health 1, Actions 2, AP 1. There are 16 in the supply.

Abominations have Damage 1, Health 3, Actions 1, AP 5, Special Rule: Only a Damage 3+ weapon or a Molotov can have an impact on them. No weapon has a natural 3, a Skill or similar is needed.

===Abominations===

If an Abomination card is drawn, what happens depends on whether there is an Abomination out or not

If there is no Abomination, an abomination spawns

If there is an Abomination, that abomination takes an action

In this way, there will only ever be 1 Abomination active at most

There are 4 unique Abominations with their own rules

Hobomination - No combat action can be taken if you share a zone with this abomination

Abominacop - This abomination takes first priority in targeting order

Abominawild - Molotovs used in this abomination's zone only affect the abomination, nothing else is destroyed

Patient 0 - None

===Player Turn===

If you are controlling multiple characters, fully complete one character's turn before taking a different character's turn, but you can choose the order in which your characters act

A character starts with 3 Actions per turn, but this can be increased as they level. The actions are as follows:

Move - 1 Action to move to an adjacent Zone +1 Action per zombie in current zone. This means with the base 3 actions, if a character has 3 zombies in their zone, they cannot move. If movement takes a character into a zone with zombies they cannot continue moving even if they have enough actions to progress.

Search - Whilst in an Inside Zone with no Zombies, 1 action to draw an equipment card and either put it in Hand, put it in Backpack, or Discard it. If they put it in Hand/Backpack, they get a free action to redistribute the cards they currently hold however they like. If they have no space for the new item, during the redistribution they can choose a different item to discard. A Character can only perform 1 Search per turn, if they have a skill which gives them a Free Search this also counts as their 1 Search per turn.

Open Door - If the character holds an item in hand which contains the door symbol on the top left, they can spend 1 action to open a door adjacent to the zone they are in. Abnormal doors may require a mission based objective to be met before they can be opened. If the door was the first door to be opened for that building, spawn zombies in each Dark Zone of that building. If a rush card was drawn, the zombie will both spawn and take an action, which may mean they move into a Light Zone.

Trade - For 1 action, you can either trade with one other character in the same zone or redistribute your items between your Backpack and Hand. A trade does not have to be equal, it can be 1-for-1 or it could be a full take or a full give or some other arrangement agreed upon between the controlling players. The other character in the trade gets a free redistribution.

Noise - For 1 action you can place a noise token in your zone

Interact with Objective - For 1 Action you can interact with or take an objective, this effect can vary based on the Mission, but typically gives 5AP unless the Mission states otherwise.

Combat - For 1 action, you can use a weapon against a zone with Zombies, if you satisfy the condition for Dual Wield you can use a single action to use both weapons.

Wait - You can pass on any actions you don't wish to take

However, Melee weapons allow you to choose specific targets.

Friendly Fire - If a zone contain a mix of Zombies and Characters, any Misses on a Ranged attack hit a Character of the group's choice instead. However, a character cannot accidentally shoot themself. If there are multiple Misses, and multiple Characters in the target zone, the group can distribute the damage as desired, whether that be split evenly or not hitting one character whilst another takes more.

===Adrenaline, Danger, and Character Leveling===

Each time a character kills a monster, that character gains a number of AP (Adrenaline Points)

Gaining enough AP allows that character to level up (Blue - Yellow - Orange - Red)

Each level up gives 1 Ability, some levels only give one ability so it's automatic, whilst others give multiple options but you can only choose 1 to take and the others are lost

Be aware that character levels are linked to danger levels, the highest character level in the group when zombies spawn determine which and how many zombies spawn based on the same blue/yellow/orange/red level. As mentioned, it's the highest character level which counts, so if one character is a blue, four are yellows, and one is orange then the zombie spawn will be of Orange level. As such, it's advised to try to stay around the same level for everyone, lagging behind will make it difficult for you!

===Zombies===

Zombies spawn at the beginning of the game as part of setup, whenever a door of a building is opened for the first time, or during their phase determined by the zombie deck and the current danger level. When a card is drawn for a zombie, it could be a normal card which simply spawns it, or a Rush card which spawns it and allows it to take an action, or an Activation card which does NOT spawn but instead allows all zombies of that type to take an action.

Zombies have a damage, health, Actions, and AP reward, and may have special rules

The four zombie types are:

Walkers have Damage 1, Health 1, Actions 1, AP 1. There are 40 in the supply.

Brutes have Damage 1, Health 2, Actions 1, AP 1, Special Rule: Only a Damage 2+ weapon or Molotov can have an impact on them.

Runners have Damage 1, Health 1, Actions 2, AP 1. There are 16 in the supply.

Abominations have Damage 1, Health 3, Actions 1, AP 5, Special Rule: Only a Damage 3+ weapon or a Molotov can have an impact on them. No weapon has a natural 3, a Skill or similar is needed.

===Abominations===

If an Abomination card is drawn, what happens depends on whether there is an Abomination out or not

If there is no Abomination, an abomination spawns

If there is an Abomination, that abomination takes an action

In this way, there will only ever be 1 Abomination active at most

There are 4 unique Abominations with their own rules

Hobomination - No combat action can be taken if you share a zone with this abomination

Abominacop - This abomination takes first priority in targeting order

Abominawild - Molotovs used in this abomination's zone only affect the abomination, nothing else is destroyed

Patient 0 - None

===Player Turn===

If you are controlling multiple characters, fully complete one character's turn before taking a different character's turn, but you can choose the order in which your characters act

A character starts with 3 Actions per turn, but this can be increased as they level. The actions are as follows:

Move - 1 Action to move to an adjacent Zone +1 Action per zombie in current zone. This means with the base 3 actions, if a character has 3 zombies in their zone, they cannot move. If movement takes a character into a zone with zombies they cannot continue moving even if they have enough actions to progress.

Search - Whilst in an Inside Zone with no Zombies, 1 action to draw an equipment card and either put it in Hand, put it in Backpack, or Discard it. If they put it in Hand/Backpack, they get a free action to redistribute the cards they currently hold however they like. If they have no space for the new item, during the redistribution they can choose a different item to discard. A Character can only perform 1 Search per turn, if they have a skill which gives them a Free Search this also counts as their 1 Search per turn.

Open Door - If the character holds an item in hand which contains the door symbol on the top left, they can spend 1 action to open a door adjacent to the zone they are in. Abnormal doors may require a mission based objective to be met before they can be opened. If the door was the first door to be opened for that building, spawn zombies in each Dark Zone of that building. If a rush card was drawn, the zombie will both spawn and take an action, which may mean they move into a Light Zone.

Trade - For 1 action, you can either trade with one other character in the same zone or redistribute your items between your Backpack and Hand. A trade does not have to be equal, it can be 1-for-1 or it could be a full take or a full give or some other arrangement agreed upon between the controlling players. The other character in the trade gets a free redistribution.

Noise - For 1 action you can place a noise token in your zone

Interact with Objective - For 1 Action you can interact with or take an objective, this effect can vary based on the Mission, but typically gives 5AP unless the Mission states otherwise.

Combat - For 1 action, you can use a weapon against a zone with Zombies, if you satisfy the condition for Dual Wield you can use a single action to use both weapons.

Wait - You can pass on any actions you don't wish to take

===Zombie Turn===

After all characters and thus all players have taken their turns, the zombies activate

First, attacks happen. Each zombie attacks a character in its zone, if there are multiple characters then the players choose which character takes the hit.

Second, movement happens. Each zombie which did not attack, as such has no characters in its zone, moves 1 zone. Where they move will depend on a few things. First, they'd like to go towards a zone (note they may not actually reach it) that has the most combined characters and noise tokens in it which is within its line of sight and contains at least 1 character. If there are no characters in its Line of Sight, then it moves towards the noisiest zone regardless of distance. Remember, character tokens count towards the noise level. If the path to the destination is blocked at any point between the zombie and the target zone, the zombie does not move at all. If the target zone has multiple routes of equal distance, the zombies split up as evenly as possible and take all the equidistant routes.

For Runners, they do this check twice, their first priority is always attack, with second priority being move. This means they could, in priority order, attack-attack, attack-move, or move-move

After activation, Spawn happens. In ascending order, from each numbered spawn point, draw a card to see what arrives corresponding with the current danger level, remember this is equal to the highest character level in all the group. Some spawn locations may be special, these do not spawn until the Mission tells you to, after a special spawn location starts spawning it continues spawning on each subsequent Spawn Phase, unless the mission says otherwise. If there are not enough zombies of a type to spawn what is needed, the zombies of that type get an activation instead.

===Special Modes and Missions===

The rulebook contains further clarifications on special modes and the specific Missions

===Game End===

The game is won when the Mission Objectives are all complete

The game is lost if a character dies

The game is lost if a game state causes a Mission Objective to be impossible to complete

The game is lost if a Mission specific Loss criteria is met

JoeSondow: Added number of walkers in supply. Updated "Fattys" to new term "Brutes"

===Overview===

This is a co-operative game

Zombiecide has a number of missions to pick from, the top right on BGA will show you the win conditions for your particular Mission

===Setup===

As part of setup, players choose characters, there are always 6 characters regardless of players so these may end up distributed unevenly

There are two types of characters to choose from: Adults or Children (Note that this does NOT reflect difficulty or type of player to pick them). Children are shown by having a yellow head in the top right.

Children have 2 Health and get the Slippery Skill from the start as a bonus

Adults have 3 Health and do not get the Slippery Skill unless they can unlock it as part of natural progression

On BGA, you can click the yellow triangle on the right of a character to give a definition of some of the skills they can unlock

===The Map===

The Map is divided into a number of Zones

An outside zone is displayed by crosswalk borders, in addition it may be bordered by the edge of the map or by buildings

An inside zone is displayed by walls and door breaks

From an outside zone, an individual can see in orthogonal lines to as many other outside zones. An individual can only see one zone into a directly adjacent inside zone connected via an open door.

From an inside zone, an individual can see a distance of one zone into adjacent connected inside zones by open doors. An individual can see in an orthogonal line as many outside zones as long as they are in a zone adjacent to an open door.

===Equipment Cards===

Cards can be either Melee, Ranged, or Skills

A character can hold 2 Hand cards and 3 Backpack Cards. Unless the card states otherwise, Backpack cards cannot actively be used.

Weapons will either show a knife for Melee or a gun for Ranged

Ranged cards may have a bullet or shell symbol, there is no ammo consumption, but these symbols will indicate how they might interact with Skill cards e.g. a Skill card may only affect Shell ranged weapons

If a weapon has the red Dual Wield symbol on the top left, having two identical of this item will let you use the dual wield rules during combat

If a weapon has the white door symbol on the top left, this can be used to open doors

Cards will contain a noise indicator, a blue noise indicator means it makes no noise, a yellow noise indicator means it makes noise. Some cards may have both symbols, depending on how it's used e.g. combat may be silent, but door opening may be noisy

6 Starting Equipment cards: 

 Pistol x 3

===Weapons in Combat===

From left to right, each weapon has 6 icons

The first shows the type, Melee or Ranged

The second shows the distance, usually with a min and max value. 0 is the zone the character currently resides, whilst 1 is the zone adjacent to you and so on.

The third shows how many dice are rolled when using this weapon

The fourth shows what value or higher you want to roll on each dice in order to count it as a success

The fifth shows how much damage a success grants

The sixth shows whether this weapon is noisy or silent

If a weapon had the red dual wield symbol, and you have a duplicate of it in each hand, you can use both weapons with one action as long as the same zone (not zombie) is targeted

You do not get to choose which specific zombie you attack with a Ranged weapon, just the Zone you attack, there is a Priority Order for the Zombies - 1st Fattys or Abominations (player choice), 2nd Walkers, 3rd Runners. What this means is if you attack a zone with 4 Walkers and a Runner, the Walkers will be hit first and until they are defeated or move on, the Runner cannot be hit with Ranged. However, Melee weapons allow you to choose specific targets.

Friendly Fire - If a zone contain a mix of Zombies and Characters, any Misses on a Ranged attack hit a Character of the group's choice instead. However, a character cannot accidentally shoot themself. If there are multiple Misses, and multiple Characters in the target zone, the group can distribute the damage as desired, whether that be split evenly or not hitting one character whilst another takes more.

===Adrenaline, Danger, and Character Leveling===

Each time a character kills a monster, that character gains a number of AP (Adrenaline Points)

Gaining enough AP allows that character to level up (Blue - Yellow - Orange - Red)

Each level up gives 1 Ability, some levels only give one ability so it's automatic, whilst others give multiple options but you can only choose 1 to take and the others are lost

Be aware that character levels are linked to danger levels, the highest character level in the group when zombies spawn determine which and how many zombies spawn based on the same blue/yellow/orange/red level. As mentioned, it's the highest character level which counts, so if one character is a blue, four are yellows, and one is orange then the zombie spawn will be of Orange level.

JoeSondow: Made pronoun use consistent

== Object of the Game ==

Points can be scored by:

1. '''Claiming a Route''' between two adjacent cities on the map

2. Successfully '''completing a Continuous Path of routes'' between two cities listed on your Destination Ticket(s);

3. Completing the ''Longest Continuous Path''' of routes to win the European Express Bonus card;

4. For each ''Train Station''' kept in '''reserve''' at the end of the game (Each unused station is worth four (4) points).

Points are deducted from the players’ total score for each of their Destination Tickets that are not successfully completed by the end of the game.

== Player Turn ==
Players must perform one
(and only one) of the following four actions:

'''Draw Train Car Cards''' – The player may draw two Train cards (or just one, if the
card they select is a face-up Locomotive. See Locomotives for special rules);

'''Claim a Route''' – The player claims a route on the board by playing a set of Train
cards from his hand that match the color and quantity of the spaces that make
up the route. They place one of their colored trains on each space, and scores the
number of points indicated on the Route Scoring Table for that route’s length;

'''Draw Destination Tickets''' – The player draws three Destination Tickets from the
top of the Tickets deck, and must keep at least one of them;

'''Build a Train Station''' – The player may build a Station in any city that does not
yet have one. To build his first Train Station, the player plays one Train card of
any color and places one of his Train Stations on that city. To build their second
station, a player must play a set of two cards of the same color, and to build their
third station a set of three cards of the same color. Only one station is allowed per city.

Train Stations allow the player to use one route another player has built during scoring. Different Destination Tickets can be scored with a single station as long as they use the same route. The route must have been built by an opponent (it cannot be empty).

== Other Rules ==

'''Ferries'''
To claim a Ferry Route, a player must play a Locomotive card
for each Locomotive symbol on the route, and the usual set
of cards of the proper color for the remaining spaces of that
Ferry Route.

'''Tunnels'''
When attempting to claim a Tunnel route, a player first lays down
the number of cards required by the length of the route. Then the
three top cards from the Train draw pile are turned face-up. For each card revealed whose color
matches the color of the cards played to claim the Tunnel, an additional card of the same color
(or a Locomotive) must now be played from their hand. Only then can the player successfully claim
the Tunnel route.
If the player does not have enough additional Train cards of the matching color (or does not wish
to play them), they may take all their cards back in their hand, and their turn ends.

JoeSondow: /* Green Miss Scoring */

Goal: Create a great tourist subway map and score the most points in Tokyo. If you played Next Station London, the basics are the same, but there are several differences.

==How to play==

=== Flipping cards ===
Each turn, a card with one of four symbols will flip up. All players will draw a straight line from their starting point to a station with this symbol, following one of the dotted guides on the board. (Note players will see the same symbol, but each has a different starting point.) If a wild symbol flips, you can pick any symbol for that station, and players don't need to pick the same symbol. Also note that drawing a new subway route is always optional; you can skip any flip of a card if you want to.

=== Starting a new round ===
Continue this way until all five green symbols have been flipped -- note this means each round will have 5 to 10 cards flipped. Then, pass your color to the next player, and start the next subway line from the next starting point. Keep going until all 4 subway lines have been filled in.

=== Rules for drawing lines ===
Keep in mind subway lines can't cross themselves or another line -- including the green central line already on the map. A train line can't revisit the same station, however multiple different train lines can visit the same station.

==Special Cards==
===Joker + Double Rail Track===
The only time you can continue a new line segment along an existing line is if the existing line is a different color and a Joker + Double Rail Track card was drawn. In that case you may optionally reuse an existing line segment (even a curved segment of the green track) at most once.

===Railroad Switch===
Typically your new line segment must always continue from the station on either end of your track. However if a Railroad Switch card is drawn, you may draw a new line segment from any station in that round's subway track, possibly producing an additional end to use in a future round. (Note that if the Railroad Switch is flipped first or second, it will have no effect.)

===Orange Effect Cards===
If playing with orange effect cards, they give an additional effect to the first card flipped of a particular symbol. (This is denoted by the blue symbol near the effect.)

==Scoring==

=== Line scoring ===
Each line scores separately. To score a line, count the number of districts it passes through. (Districts are regions separated by yellow lines.) Then multiply this by the number of stations visited by this line in one specific district -- whichever district has the most stations for this line. For example, if a line visits 5 districts, and 3 stations in one district, then that line scores 5 x 3 = 15 points. Then repeat this same process for each other lines, and add these line scores together.

=== Interchange and Tourist Stamp scoring ===
An interchange is a station that is visited by more than one color line -- including the existing green line. Each 3 line, 4 line, or 5 line interchange scores 5, 15, or 30 points respectively.

Each region touching the map edge also scores points if it has at least one interchange in it. The four corner regions score 10 points each, and the other four regions score 5 points each. (Note this is scored under the blue box in middle bottom of the score pad.)

=== Green Miss Scoring ===

There are eight stations on the green line. Each one that you leave unconnected to any of your other colors is -3 points.

=== Objectives ===

If playing with objectives, each player scores 10 points per objective they completed

JoeSondow: /* End of Game */

===Overview===

The game is played in 12 rounds. In each round players try to roll the highest total without triggering the active "warning" card.

===Rounds===

On each round a "warning" card is randomly selected. It describes some combination of dice that is not permitted.

On your turn you must choose some number of dice to roll (always at least 1 die). You may optionally reroll dice twice: after your initial roll you may optionally choose any of the dice to reroll, then again optionally choose any of the dice to reroll. After that your dice roll is final.

The sum of the dice is your score. The dice have sides numbered 1 to 5, with a sixth side showing a gangster face. The gangster face is not a number and counts as 0 score points.

Dice are left on the table after being rolled. At the end of the round the player with the highest score wins the round and keeps all the dice on the table.

If multiple players have the same score, the tie-breaker is how many dice were rolled (more dice beats fewer dice). If multiple players have the same score with the same number of dice, the one who rolled sooner in the round wins.

If you trigger the "warning" card, you lose the round.

If the card is black, your dice are checked once, after you are done rolling; if it triggers you lose the round.

If the card is yellow, your dice are checked after each roll or re-roll. If it triggers you instantly lose the round.

Note that the gangster face does not count as a number. It is never equal to any number or to itself; it is neither even nor odd; and it adds 0 to your score.

If all players trigger the "warning" card, they all lose the round. All dice used remain on the table; in the next round, they will be bonus dice that will be kept by the winner.

===Bonus dice===

On the last three rounds, there are bonus dice put on the table at the start of the round:

On round 10: 3 bonus dice on the table

On round 11: 6 bonus dice on the table

On round 12: 9 bonus dice on the table

As always, the winner of each round keeps all the dice on the table.

===End of Game===

If any player ever loses all dice, that player is eliminated.

The winner is the player with the most dice at the end of the 12th round. If there is a tie the players are joint winners.

JoeSondow: Corrected game end condition

===Overview===

Create patterns in your shelf to score points via private and public goals. Public goals score by completely achieving, private goals are scored on how many elements you achieved e.g. 3 out of 5 elements will score you the 3 element achievement. In addition, groups of the same type score based on their quantity touching. The game end is triggered when one player finishes their shelf and scores a bonus point. All players get the same number of turns.

===Turns===

Take 1-3 items from the main board, these items must form a continuous row or column and must all have 1 free edge prior to taking anything (i.e. if a free edge is created because of taking, you cannot then take it)

All items taken will then be placed in the same column on your board, in an order of your choosing

The main board does not have new items added every turn, instead they will only be completely refilled if none of the items currently present touch each other

JoeSondow: Added missing word

[[Category:Card games]]
==Game Info==
Dice Forge is a game about rolling your dice to collect resources. You can spend those resources to upgrade your dice, or perform Heroic Feats (purchase cards) that give you points and special powers.

=== Currencies ===
*'''Gold''' - Yellow - Used to upgrade your dice or to activate some reinforcements..
*'''Sun Shards''' - Orange - Used to perform Heroic Feats (purchase cards) and take extra actions.
*'''Moon Shards''' - Purple - Used to perform Heroic Feats (purchase cards).
*'''Glory Points''' (GP) - Green - Contributes directly to your score; can be earned by rolling the appropriate dice face, activating certain reinforcements, and at the end of the game the Glory value of all collected cards is added to your score.

=== Terminology used in the game ===
*'''Divine Blessing''' - The act of rolling both your dice and receiving the rolled resources.
*'''Minor Blessing''' - Rolling a single die and receiving the rolled resources.
*'''Reinforcements''' - After rolling their dice, the active player may use any special powers gained from purchased cards.

=== Auto-advance (Hammer) ===
If you have purchased The Blacksmith's Hammer card and enable the "Auto-advancement" button, Gold earned from any source will be applied to the Hammer. If "Auto-advancement" is disabled, you will be prompted to allocate Gold earned to either the Hammer or your inventory.

== Taking Your Turn ==
On each player's turn, all players roll their dice and collect the rolled resources. (In a two-player game, players roll their dice twice before each player's turn.)

You are then allowed to perform one action:
*'''Forge''' - Spend Gold to upgrade your dice. You can purchase any number of new die faces, but each face you buy must be unique. (Your dice may have duplicated sides, but the faces you purchase within a given Forge action must be different.)
*'''Heroic Feat''' - Spend Sun and/or Moon Shards to purchase a single card. Place your Hero pawn on the pedestal containing the card you wish to purchase. If another player's pawn was on that pedestal, they receive a Divine Blessing and are returned to the central island. (This is known as "'''Ousting'''" their hero.)

===Taking an additional action ===
Finally, the active player may spend two Sun Shards to take a second action if they wish; if they choose to take a second Heroic Feat action, they can perform the same or a different Heroic Feat.

== Game End ==
You play 10 rounds with 3 players, and 9 rounds with 2 or 4 players. Much like in real life, the player with the most Glory Points at the end of the game wins.

==Tiebreaker==
If enabled, the following tiebreakers are implemented:

#Number of die faces forged.
#Number of Heroic Feats accomplished.
#Number of remaining resources.
#The player having started the game the earliest.

== Rebellion Expansion ==
You have two different modules available to play. Will you join forces with the Titans in the titan module, or undertake Hera's labyrinth and take home even more treasure than ever before in the Goddess module? You can play with either one of the two types and each one plays very differently to each other.

In addition to different modules, you can also choose just to use the new heroic feat cards and leave the modules out. This gives the base game a lot more variety.

==Titan Module==
In the Titan module, you will gain glory points for being loyal to the gods and lose them for being loyal to the titans. However, siding will the titans will give you very powerful ancient shards and more points for performing heroic feats!
===Starting dice===
Die faces will change at the start, including replacing the sun face with an ancient shard face, and the 2 glory point face with a face awarding 1 glory point and a loyalty.

===Titan board===
Everyone will start on the middle '0' space and will move up and down the track depending on the different tokens they earn. If one obtains an ancient shard, they will move one space to the left, whereas a loyalty point will move a player to the right. Bonuses obtained for different positions on the board are as follows:
* Players obtain bonuses depending on the '''zone''' their player marker is in. Areas further to the left or right usually give stronger bonuses.
*For titan zones, a player will obtain more glory points for obtaining the '''first''' heroic feat card they buy of a certain type. Obtaining a particular type of heroic feat card first will grant more glory points than if someone else already has purchased one of these cards.
* For goddess zones, the bonuses apply to *die rolls.* The first area awards an additional 1 bonus gold to any type of blessing, which results in more gold. For the second area, gold rolls will also award a glory point. Lastly, the final area will give an extra glory point if a major or minor blessing awards glory points.

In addition to bonuses, there are also 'special paths' on the board. If a player lands on a spot with an additional path and moves in the same directions as the arrows on it, one must follow that direction.

At the end of the game, glory points will be awarded or deducted depending on the final position of your counter on the board.

=== Ancient shards and extra cards ===
Ancient shards are 'wild' shards - they can be either sun or moon shards! You can store up to 6 of them, and it is optional to use them when performing a Heroic feat.
The heroic feat cards used in this module will contain 6 titan cards, which can affect the loyalty and ancient shards of yourself and other players.

==Goddess Module==
In Goddess Module, players enter the labyrinth of Hera and receive rewards.

* Use the Sun Golem, the Moon Golem, the Time Golem and the Great Golem.
* Replace the 1 moon shard with a moon advance.
* When you roll a sun advance or a moon advance, move one space forward in the labyrinth. In case of a crosspath, you choose which path to take.
* If you roll a sun advance and a moon advance at the same time, roll the celestial die once.
* Some spaces have treasure chests. When you reach a treasure chest first, choose 10 glory points, 4 sun shards or 4 moon shards. Other players who reach this chest can only receive the lower reward.
* If you reach the last space, you receive 15 glory points. If you are first to arrive, receive a divine blessing with you choosing the sides.

==Game Info==
Dice Forge is a game about rolling your dice to collect resources. You can spend those resources to upgrade your dice, or perform Heroic Feats (purchase cards) that give you points and special powers.

=== Currencies ===
*'''Gold''' - Yellow - Used to upgrade your dice or to activate some reinforcements..
*'''Sun Shards''' - Orange - Used to perform Heroic Feats (purchase cards) and take extra actions.
*'''Moon Shards''' - Purple - Used to perform Heroic Feats (purchase cards).
*'''Glory Points''' (GP) - Green - Contributes directly to your score; can be earned by rolling the appropriate dice face, activating certain reinforcements, and at the end of the game the Glory value of all collected cards is added to your score.

=== Terminology used in the game ===
*'''Divine Blessing''' - The act of rolling both your dice and receiving the rolled resources.
*'''Minor Blessing''' - Rolling a single die and receiving the rolled resources.
*'''Reinforcements''' - After rolling their dice, the active player may use any special powers gained from purchased cards.

=== Auto-advance (Hammer) ===
If you have purchased The Blacksmith's Hammer card and enable the "Auto-advancement" button, Gold earned from any source will applied to the Hammer. If "Auto-advancement" is disabled, you will be prompted to allocate Gold earned to either the Hammer or your inventory.

== Taking Your Turn ==
On each player's turn, all players roll their dice and collect the rolled resources. (In a two-player game, players roll their dice twice before each player's turn.)

You are then allowed to perform one action:
*'''Forge''' - Spend Gold to upgrade your dice. You can purchase any number of new die faces, but each face you buy must be unique. (Your dice may have duplicated sides, but the faces you purchase within a given Forge action must be different.)
*'''Heroic Feat''' - Spend Sun and/or Moon Shards to purchase a single card. Place your Hero pawn on the pedestal containing the card you wish to purchase. If another player's pawn was on that pedestal, they receive a Divine Blessing and are returned to the central island. (This is known as "'''Ousting'''" their hero.)

===Taking an additional action ===
