Zombicide: Green Horde
The Frogames review
Fantasy co-op: your team holds out against zombie orcs and the Horde
You've just smashed down a door with your Axe. The noise lingers in the room, and the Fatties are now heading your way.
You're a Survivor of the western borderlands, a land of hedgerows, farms and flooded villages overrun by Zombie Orcs. With swords, bows, spells and a Trebuchet, you set out to complete the quest and stop the Orc Necromancers.
Each Survivor has 3 Actions: move, search, open doors, fight. Then the zombies attack or advance towards the noise, and more of them appear. The more experience you gain, the more enemies arrive. You win by completing the quest objectives. You lose if everyone falls or if one Necromancer too many escapes.
Released in 2018 and designed by Raphaël Guiton, Jean-Baptiste Lullien and Nicolas Raoult, the creators of the Zombicide line. Artwork by Jérémy Masson, Nicolas Fructus and Louise Combal. Italian edition by Asmodee.

At a glance
Why we like it. Every choice comes at a visible cost: noise draws them in, experience swells the invasion, and the Horde builds up off the board until it suddenly bursts in. The Trebuchet and Dragon Fire give the team answers for desperate moments.
Good to know. With six Survivors and the Zombies' Phase handled by hand, there's a lot of waiting between turns, and dice decide every attack.

Questions about Zombicide: Green Horde
Does Zombicide: Green Horde work with two players?+
Yes. You still usually use 6 Survivors, split between the two players, so each controls three. In the BoardGameGeek poll, 91% of voters recommend it at two.
Does Zombicide: Green Horde hold up over many plays?+
Yes, thanks to the 11 quests in the box. Each uses different tiles, objectives and special rules; on top of that, the Vault weapons, the position of the coloured objectives and the chosen Survivors all change.
How much does language matter in Zombicide: Green Horde?+
This is the Italian edition. The Equipment and Zombie cards have short texts, and combat values are shown with symbols and numbers.
How much space do you need for Zombicide: Green Horde?+
You'll need a large table. Quests use 4 to 6 tiles, and each Survivor has their own dashboard, plus the decks and tokens to the side.
Is Zombicide: Green Horde hard to learn?+
The basic turn is quick to pick up: 3 Actions each, then the zombies attack or move. The extra rules (Horde, Necromancers, Flooded Zones, Trebuchet) are added gradually; Quest 0 is designed as an introduction. BoardGameGeek weight: 2.49 out of 5.
How do you win at Zombicide: Green Horde?+
You win by completing all the quest objectives. You lose if all the Survivors are eliminated, or if a Necromancer escapes when there are 6 Zombie Spawn tokens on the board.
Can you play Zombicide: Green Horde solo?+
Yes, it plays 1 to 6. Solo, you control the whole team of Survivors against zombies driven by the game.
How long does a game of Zombicide: Green Horde take?+
About an hour, according to the box. The rulebook gives 30 to 90 minutes for individual quests.
Is Zombicide: Green Horde compatible with Zombicide: Black Plague?+
Yes, fully. Both games are set in the same world, and the Orc Zombie cards can be shuffled in with those from the line's other fantasy products.
Do you need another game to play Zombicide: Green Horde?+
No, it's a complete core box. Necromancer Cabals and games with more than 6 Survivors, however, require components sold separately.
What happens when a Survivor dies in Zombicide: Green Horde?+
They're removed and their equipment is discarded, but the game carries on as long as at least one Survivor remains. Some quests, though, are lost with even a single death.
Is Zombicide: Green Horde suitable for children?+
The recommended age is 14 and up. The theme is horror, with zombies, wounds and fighting.
“The more you kill, the more orcs arrive: and the Horde is just waiting for your first slip.”
