Zombie Minatures
These plastic figures represent the zombies you will face in
Zpocalypse. A gray figure represents one zombie, and a green figure
represents two zombies. Whenever two gray zombie miniatures occupy
a single square, replace them with a single green zombie miniature.
Survivor Miniatures and Stands
These plastic figures represent the squad of Survivors each player
controls. Players select any 2 Survivor miniatures they wish to represent
their squad and place them on the stand of their chosen color.
Each player receives one Squad
Board matching the color of their
chosen Survivor miniatures. This is
used to keep track of your Squad’s
combined stats, and also outlines
the Phases of the game for easy
reference.
Victory Point Tracker
Players keep track of how many
Victory Points ( ) they gain
throughout the game on the
Victory Point Tracker. You
gain Victory Points by killing
zombies, building fortifications,
and accomplishing your Daily
Goals at the end of the day.
Player Pawns
Each player receives one wooden
pawn in their chosen color.
These are used on the Victory
Point Tracker to track your score
during the course of the game.
Map Tiles
Map Tiles link together in various ways to
form the game board. Each square on a tile
is considered a space.
Dice
The game comes with 2 types of dice: blue
and red. Red dice are used for attacking and
skill checks, and blue dice are used for ammo
checks.
The number of symbols tells you how many dice to roll.
, you would roll three red dice.
For example, if you must roll
is the 1 on the die.
The is the 6 on the die and the
Armory Cards
Armory Cards represent useful
equipment players find during the
game. The deck contains armor,
accessories, firearms, and melee
weapons.
Squad board

Food Cards
Food Cards represent food you find during
the game. Food is required to keep your
survivors fit to handle the onslaught of
zombies. There are 2 basic types: normal
food and radioactive food , and
several special types.
Scenario Cards
The Scenario Card defines the type
of game you are going to be playing.
Are you going head to head to see
who is the best player, or cooperating
and just trying to survive the zombie
onslaught? The choice is yours.
Item Cards
Item Cards represent the different items
you may find. They are broken down into
3 simple classes of cards: scrap used
for building fortifications, first aid for
healing, and ammo for your firearms.
Death Tokens
Death Tokens are used when a player
dies. All the cards belonging to their
current Squad are placed in a pile with a
matching color Death Token on top, and
the second Death Token is placed on the
square where they perished.
Survivor Cards
Survivor Cards represent the survivors
who will either cower in the Bunker or
form your Squads. Each survivor has
a back story, special ability, and stats
which define the character. Stats are
Hit Points , Armor , Smarts ,
Movement , Firearms Skill , and
Melee Skill .
Scavenge Cards
Scavenge Cards represent the
locations where you scavenge during
the morning of each day. Each location
has a Smarts skill check, which if passed,
may gain you more loot.
Something’s Happening! Cards
Something’s Happening! Cards
represent a special event which happens as
night falls. Spoiler: the event is never good.
Each card tells you the number of zombies
attacking you and how fast they move
each night, as well as detailing additional
complications your Squad may face.
Fortification Tokens
Fortification Tokens are bought
and placed about mid-afternoon
each day. They help slow down
or even prevent the movement of
zombies during the night.
Search Tokens
Search Tokens are used during the night,
if a Squad searches the map for items.
However, some of the tokens have zombies
on them—so watch out or you’ll be
discovering zombies on as well as loot!
Rad and Bio Tokens
Radiation Tokens are be used to denote when a Survivor
has eaten radioactive food. Biohazard Tokens are printed
on the other side of the token; they may be used in future
expansions and can be used for player-created scenarios.
Bunker
The Bunker is where you hid during the bombing of the city. It’s very
important to protect the Bunker so the survivors sheltering inside don’t
get bitten—and turn into zombies themselves!
Daily Goals Cards
Optionally, each player will draw a
Daily Goals Card each day. If they
complete the goal, they may earn Victory
Points, or even a special advantage.

Are you playing a full co-op, the Quick Play Scenario, or just trying to
survive? Either way, you get to slay zombies, survive attacks, obtain
victory points, and do it all with style! But before you start, perform
these steps in order when setting up a new game of Zpocalypse:
1. Set Up the Tiles
Choose your starting Base Tile set 1 . A Base Tile set consists of 4
Map Tiles with a matching colored glow in a corner. Place the the 4
tiles together to create the area outside your Bunker. Leave some space
around these tiles, because once you start exploring, the map is going
to grow.
The yellow Hotel Lobby Base Tile set is recommended for first time
players, while the green Park set should only be used by veteran
zombie slayers! On their flip sides, you can also choose from the violet
Supermarket or the light blue Restaurant.
Once you’ve chosen and placed a Base Tile set, they’ll be 4 Base Map
Tiles remaining. Shuffle these with the rest of the tiles, keeping the
matching Base set sides faceup, to make a the Map Tile stack 2 ,
from which you’ll draw during the game.
2. Organize the Card Decks
Shuffle the following card types into separate decks: Survivors 3 ,
Armory 4 , Food 5 , Items 6 , Scavenge 7 , Something’s
Happening! 8 , and Daily Goals 9 . Place all these decks within
reach of all of the players.
Once a Food, Items, Scavenge, Something’s Happening!, or
Daily Goals Card has been used, it is discarded to the appropriate
deck’s discard pile (faceup, unless otherwise stated on the card). When
a deck is exhausted, immediately shuffle the discards to create a new
facedown deck.
Don’t worry about setting the dials on the squad board just yet; you
can do that in the Feed & Fortify Phase of the first round.
Choose any 2 Survivor miniatures 14 , attach them to the Squad
base matching your chosen color, and place this miniature in the
Bunker.
Take the wooden pawn 15 matching your color and place it on the
starting space in the bottom left-hand corner of the Victory Point
Tracker board.
6. Choose a Scenario
Choose a Scenario Card 16 and follow the setup instructions. Return
the remaining Scenario Cards to the game box.
Other setup instructions may vary according to the scenario, but for the
Main Scenario, for example, each player starts with the following cards
17 drawn from the appropriate decks:
2 Survivor Cards,
2 Food Cards,
1 Item Card, and
2 Armory Cards.
Your starting Armory Cards must both be weapons (either Melee or
Firearm cards). Keep drawing until you get 2 weapons, then reshuffle
the unused cards back into the deck.
7. Start Playing!
Begin play with the first Phase of the first day. If you like, have
someone read the story at the start of this rulebook aloud; preferably
someone classically trained. Okay, maybe just literate. When the
zombie apocalypse comes, the actors will be among the first to be
eaten!
3. Set Up the Bunker
Place the Bunker 10 near the base tile set, Randomly draw 2 Survivor
Cards and 2 Armory Cards and place them facedown under it. Place the
Victory Point Tracker board 11 near the Base Tile set.
4. Organize the Other Bits
Place the Search Tokens 12 facedown (X side up) in a randomized
pile. The Death Tokens, Fortification Tokens, dice and zombies should all
be placed in separate piles within easy reach of all the players.
5. Assemble Your Squad
Each player does the following:
Choose a color and take the Squad Board
colored skulls in the top corners.

How to Play
Playing Zpocalypse
Overview
A game is played over a series of Days, each of which consists of 4
Phases:
1. Scavenge
2. Feed & Fortify
3. Something’s Happening
4. Combat
Zpocalypse can be played in many different ways. The game comes
with 6 Scenario Cards, and the chosen Scenario Card describes the
story, setup, objective, and the number of days the game lasts. At the
end of the indicated number of days—or earlier, if everybody’s squads
are killed—each player adds up their total Victory Points.
Players get Victory Points during the game from killing zombies,
building fortifications, and completing the goals and challenges on
Daily Goals Cards. At the end of the game, players also add the total
number of Victory Points on any cards they have that have Victory Point
values.
Whoever has the most Victory Points is the winner of the game—even
if everyone ended up dead! (Well, you were the best at surviving, even
though you didn’t survive until the end of the game.) Remember, it’s
not about living or dying, it’s about how much ass you kick!
On each Day, the player with the least number of Victory Points goes
first. Of course on the first day, no one has any Victory Points, so each
player rolls a and the highest roller goes first. Re-roll ties.
Phase 1 (First Light)
Scavenge
At first light, your squad of survivors cautiously ventures out of your
bunker and into the wasteland to gather supplies and meet other
survivors. During this phase each player draws a Scavenge Card and a
Daily Goals Card, then adds add new tiles and zombies to the map.
Starting with the first player, each player performs the following steps
in order:
1. Draw a Daily Goals Card
Discard the previous day’s Daily Goals Card and draw a new
one. Place the card on or near your squad board—face down! Do you
want everyone knowing your business?
2. Draw a Scavenge Card
a. Draw a Scavenge Card and read it aloud, noting any special
instructions.
b. Make a Scavenging Roll. Roll a number of equal to your
squad’s Smarts (if your squad’s Smarts stat is 0, roll 1 die). Any roll of
5 or means you’re successful.
Your success or failure determines how many Food, Item, and Armory
Cards you draw from the approriate decks (and how many zombies will
be on the new tile you’ll place next).
Scavenge Card Example

Warning: Zpocalypse is
designed to become
increasingly difficult
as each day passes.
We describe games of up
to 4 Days, but a game that
lasts that long can take 2 or more hours even for experienced players.

Placing Zombies
Placing map Tiles
Zombies are placed during the second step of the Scavenge Phase,
and during the second step of the Something’s Happening! Phase.
Whenever you have to place one or more zombies on the map tiles,
unless specifically instructed otherwise, follow these guidelines:
You can place map tiles wherever you like, but during the Scavenge
Phase, you get 1 Victory Point if it’s as close as possible to the bunker
entrance.
a. Place as many double zombies as possible. For example, if you
have to place 5 zombies, place 2 green double zombies and 1
grey single zombie.
b. Place 1 zombie miniature per space.
c. Place zombies on spaces with ,
possible.
or
d. Never place zombies on spaces with a
icons wherever
icon.
e. Never place zombies so they are ‘penned in’. Zombies must always
be able to move towards the Bunker entrance or players.
Some special Scavenge Cards may require you to make 2 checks: one
for a special event, and the second to see what supplies you get.
If the card says you rescue a Survivor, draw a card from the Survivors
deck and place it sideways in front of you.
It’s a good idea to do this, because you’ll need those extra Victory
Points to help increase your Firearm and Melee Skill training as soon
as possible!
Each game should have a different tile layout, grown organically by
the players. Like carrots, only less healthy and more wasteland-y.
Tiles may connect to the main board in nearly any order. However,
it’s recommended that you try to match the tile borders with each
other. It just makes for a more appealing layout!
Remember, however that you may never trap zombies by placing
map tiles. Zombies must always be able to move towards a Bunker
entrance or a squad.
Special Scavenge Cards
Some special Scavenge Cards require you to make another Smarts
Check for a special event in addition to your Scavenging Roll. Roll for
the special event first.
You may not use any new Survivor’s stats or special abilities until they
have been fed in the next Phase—however they may carry up to the
standard 4 cards.
Event: Succeed and you’ll get some extra stuff, but fail and something
bad might happen!
c. Draw a new Map Tile and attach it to an existing tile. Then place
the number of zombies indicated (depending on whether you
failed or succeeded on your Scavenge Roll) on the tile, following the
rules for Placing Zombies.
Night Owl: If you choose—or are forced—to stick around until dark,
place your miniature on the Scavenge tile you draw this phase. During
the Feed & Fortify Phase which follows, your Squad may not build any
fortifications or trade, but you still have to feed your Survivors in that
phase. Survivors that aren’t fed are discarded to the bottom of the
Survivors deck instead of placed in the Bunker.
Tiles may be connected in any way, though matching tile borders is
recommended. If you choose to place the tile as close as possible
to the Bunker entrance square, you get 1 Victory Point. Record
this by moving your pawn up the Victory Point Tracker.
Any tile that belongs to a Base Tile set must always be connected to
other tiles from that set with a matching colored border that have
already been placed.
On the third day, return all the tiles (discarding any fortification
tokens on them) to the stack and reshuffle all of them into a new tile
stack, this time using their opposite sides. Set up a new Base Tile set
and begin exploring a new area, rebuilding the board off this new Base
Tile set.
Skills: If you’re lucky you could be gaining some extra skills.
Speeding up the game
Once you get the hang of the Scavenge Phase, all the players can
complete their phase at the same time. Have one player draw cards
while another draws tiles and places zombies. You know, to get to the
fighting faster.
Scavenge Cards are discarded to their discard pile after use.
9
Phase 2 (Mid-Afternoon)
Feed & Fortify
Fortification Costs
About mid-afternoon you make it back to the bunker. After all that
scavenging your squad is quite hungry and sits down for a meal. Only
those fed will be strong enough to endure the zombie onslaught soon
to come. However, the day is fading fast, so you’d better find the time
to build a few fortifications to help hold back the zombies.
Starting with the first player, each player performs the following steps
in order:
1. Feed Survivors, Squad Maintenance
Discard Radiation Tokens placed on any Survivors the previous
day.
Each Survivor must be fed to be remain in your Squad. Feed each
of your Survivors 1 Food (normal or radioactive ) by
discarding the appropriate cards to the Food deck discard pile.
A survivor who eats any amount of radioactive food will be 1 Hit
Point weaker for the rest of the day. Place a Radiation token on the
survivor’s card as a reminder.
If you use a 2 Food Card to feed 1 Survivor, the card still has to be
discarded. It’s perfectly fine to trade or beg for food from other players.
Fed Survivors are active, and may build fortifications and act in the
Combat Phase. Unfed Survivors are no longer part of your squad—
they’re too weak to help—place their cards in the common Survivor
Pool, facedown under the Bunker.
If you cannot feed any of your Survivors, choose one to keep and lose
2 Hit Points from your Squad Hit Point total (you must show the other
players you have no food).
Getting Survivors from the Bunker
During this step you may spend 2 Food to look at all the Survivor Cards
under the Bunker and select one for your Squad. You may do this
several times if you have enough extra food.
Decide on your squad of up to 4 Survivors and assign your cards to
them. Each Survivor may only carry up to 4 Armory, Food and
Item Cards. You must either give any extra Survivor or Item Cards to
other players or place them faceup under the Bunker.
Now it’s time to tally all your Squad stats (see page 15) and record
them on your Squad Board.
10
2. Fortify
In Zpocalypse you will face an ever-increasing number of zombies—
you need to defend your bunker to survive! When placing fortifications,
think about defending your bunker, and consider how restricting
zombie movement will help when the rolls get more vicious on the
nights to come. But let’s face it: this will only buy you extra time... they
will eventually batter down your walls, smash your gates, and invade
your bunker! Fortifications are not permanent structures. The undead
will be coming for you and any survivors you left behind in the bunker,
so build your fortifications wisely.
You may build as many fortifications as you have active
Survivors to allocate, but each Survivor may only work on one task
per day.
Remember, if you drew a Night Owl Scavenge Card in the Scavenge
Phase, your Squad is still out in the wasteland and can’t build
fortifications.
Used Scrap Cards are discarded to the Scrap deck discard pile.
Fortifications cannot be placed anywhere on a map tile that has
zombies on it, nor on any space with a on it. If you want to get all
strategic, place them so zombies will be funneled for easier killing, or
slowed down from entering the Bunker. If you want to piss the other
players off, put them in the middle of nowhere!
Each fortification you build adds to your total Victory Points: record
these by moving your pawn up the Victory Point Tracker.
Armory, Item and Food Cards are discarded to their respective discard
piles after use.
Speeding up the game
Once you get the hang of the Feed & Fortify Phase, all the players can
complete their phase at the same time.
Fortification Types
Sandbags are placed on the edge of a square or, if
you build two at a corner, on a square. When a
zombie moves over one, its move ends and it cannot
attack during its next turn. Squads must spend an
extra point of Movement to move over a sandbag.
Both zombies and Squads can attack over a
sandbag.
Barbed Wire Traps are placed on squares.
2 zombies can fall into a trap and be killed (no one
gains VPs for zombies killed in this way). When 1
zombie is killed by the trap, flip the token; when 2
have been killed, remove the token from the board.
Traps slow down Squads, but do not damage them.
Walls are placed on the edge of a square or, if you
build two at a corner, on a square. When a double
zombie reaches a wall placed by a player, it is
blocked for 1 round of combat. On the next round
remove the wall from the board. On the third round,
the zombie can continue to move. Squads cannot
move through walls.
Lookouts are placed on squares. Nothing blocks the
line of sight of a Squad using a firearm from a
lookout space. A Squad may only use melee
weapons with a range of 2 from a lookout space.
When 4 single or double zombies are adjacent to
the lookout, it acts the same as a wall. On the next
turn it turns into rubble and anyone on the space
takes 1 red die of direct damage, ignoring Armor,
and loses both their actions next turn.
Gates are placed on the edge of a square. They act
the same as regular walls, and are destroyed in the
same manner, but survivors can move freely through
them. Squads may not attack through gates.
A single zombie cannot push over a wall or a gate:
it tries for 1 round, then looks for another way in.
At a cost of 1 action during the Combat Phase a
Squad may jump down from a lookout into an
adjacent empty square.
Fortification Example
1
Blue player: With 3 Survivors and 2 Scrap, Blue builds a gate and 2 sandbags, scoring 5 VP. Blue already had 1 VP and now has a total of 6 VP.
Having passed the red spot on the Tracker, he now gains 1 Skill Point to spend on either his Firearm Skill or his Melee Skill (see Skill Points, p15).
Red player: With 3 Survivors and 2 Scrap, Red builds a 2x wall and a sandbag, scoring 5 VP. She also gains 1 Skill Point to spend on either her
Firearm Skill or her Melee Skill.
2
3
Green player: Green has difficulty feeding all his Survivors. With only 1 active Survivor, he can only build a sandbag for 1 VP.
4
Yellow player: With 3 Survivors and no Scrap, Yellow builds a trap and and a sandbag, scoring 3 VP.

Phase 3 (Sunset)
Something’s
Happening!
Night is coming fast... too fast. For some reason, the zombies are more
ferocious at night. The Something’s Happening card affects all players,
and adds additional tiles and zombies to the table.
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Draw a Something’s Happening! Card
The first player only draws a Something’s Happening! Card and
reads it aloud. Make it sound spooky. Sound effects are encouraged.
Follow the special instructions on the card.
2. Place new Tiles & Zombies
Starting with the first player, each player draws 1 new map tile and
attaches it to the existing tiles as close to the Bunker entrance as
possible (no Victory Points are gained for doing this). As usual,
any tile that belongs to a Base Tile set must always be connected to
other tiles from that set with a matching colored border.
Therefore, at the end of the Something’s Happening! Phase, a number
of new tiles equal to the number of players in the game will have been
placed.
On the Something’s Happening! card you’ll see a number of zombies
and their Movement stat depending on the night (ie, the round
of the game you’re currently playing). Place the number of zombies
indicated on each tile.

Phase 4 (Night)
Combat
Night has come, and the moans are growing louder as the zombies
approach your location. It’s as though they smell fresh meat...
The Combat Phase starts with each squad in the bunker (unless
indicated otherwise by a Night Owl Scavenge card). Each player gets
two actions and then the zombies get their actions. This sequence
repeats until all the zombies are dead or all squads are dead!
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Player Actions
In turn order, each player may take 2 of the following Actions (or one
of the following Actions twice):
Attack (Firearm / Melee) using Armory Cards.
Move a number of squares up to your Movement stat.
Heal 6 Hit Points damage by discarding a First Aid Card
.
Search spaces on the board that have a Search icon.
A squad may also take 1 free Action per turn from the following list:
Trade Food and Items Cards with adjacent Squads.
You may not trade Armory or Survivor Cards during this Phase.
Reload Discard 1 Ammo Card . If you don’t have any ammo for
a firearm it cannot be used: turn the card on its side.
Rearrange weapons among the Survivors in your Squad.
2. Zombie Actions
When all players have taken their Actions, all the zombies
first move, then attack.

Phase 1: Scavenge
The Blue player goes first and draws a Hospital Scavenge card. He
rolls a Smarts test for the card’s special event and passes, so no extra
zombies follow him home. Then he makes a Scavenge roll, also using
his Smarts. He succeeds and gains 1 Survivor, 2 Food cards, 2 Item
cards, and 1 Amory card.
He must then draw and place a new map tile, placing 4 zombies on the
tile. He places it as close as possible to the Bunker tile and gains 1 VP
for doing so.
The other players then take their turns drawing Scavenge cards,
making their rolls, and placing tiles.
Phase 2: Feed and Fortify
Blue has 3 Survivors (including the one he just found). He discards 2
normal Food and 1 radioactive Food, placing a Radiation token on one
of his survivors.
Red has 3 Survivors and is short 1 Food, so she trades a Firearm
weapon card with Yellow to get 1 normal Food. Green has 3 Survivors
and can only feed one of them, so he chooses 2 Survivors to leave
in the Bunker. Yellow has 4 Food but gave one to Red, using the
remaining 3 Food to feed her own 3 Survivors.
All the players adjust their Squad board stats. Remember Blue will
have 1 less Hit Point because one of her Survivors has a Radiation token
on it.
Blue builds a gate with 1 Survivors and 2 Scrap and gains 5 VPs.
Now that he has over 5 VPs, he gains a Skill Point and spends it on his
Firearm skill. Red builds a 2x wall with 3 Survivors and 2 Scrap. Green
only has 1 Survivor so can only build a Sandbag for 1 VP. Yellow builds
a trap with 3 Survivors and 0 Scrap and gets 3 VPs.
Phase 3: Something’s Happening!
The Blue player draws a Somethings Happening! card and reads it
aloud: it’s The Moans! All players must lose 1 Food, and some may lose
1 VP if they don’t have any Food to lose.
This is the first night of the game so, starting with Blue, each draws
1 new map tile and places it as close to the Bunker Entrance tile as
possible, then placing 4 zombies on the new tile. These will have a
Movement of 4 during the next phase.
Phase 4: Combat
The board is already swarming with zombies. Starting with the Blue
player, each player takes 2 actions. When all the players have taken
actions, the zombies move and attack (see Movement example p17 and
Combat examples p 23).

Survivors & Squads
They are your people, your gang, your squad. Get to know them;
they will help you kill the undead. The more survivors in your squad,
the better your odds of surviving, but you can only have a maximum
of 4 survivors in your squad at a time. Additional survivors are kept
facedown in the bunker in a common survivor pool that all players are
able to choose from in the Scavenge Phase.
Hit Points are the measure of your squad’s total health and are
equal to the sum of your Survivors’ Hit Points.
Armor is how much damage you deflect when your Squad is
hit. It is equal to the sum of your survivors’ Armor plus Accessory
Armory Cards with an Armor rating.
Firearm Skill is how effective your Squad is at shooting. It is
equal to the sum of your Survivors’ Firearm stats. Note that this
value never decreases.
Movement is how many spaces your Squad can move per
action. It is equal to the lowest Movement stat among the
Survivors in your Squad.
Events, items and special abilities may modify these totals.
Each survivor has a special ability that can only be used once per Day
unless otherwise specified. Choose carefully when you decide to use it!
Combat abilities apply to both of the Squad’s actions during their turn.
Carry Limit and Dropping Gear
Place Armory, Item and Food Cards underneath or next to the Survivor
Cards that make up your Squad to indicate who is holding what. Each
Survivor can carry a maximum of 4 cards (any combination of
Armory, Item or Food Cards).
Melee Skill is how effective your Squad is at smashing, slicing
and dicing. It is equal to the sum of your Survivors’ Melee stats.
Note that this value never decreases.
If you exceed your carry limit, drop the extra card(s) immediately.
Place one of your matching colored Death Tokens on the card(s), and
put the second token on the space where you dropped them. The first
squad to get to the token can pick up your dropped gear for 1 Action.
Smarts is how good your Squad is at scavenging and searching
by a combination of book learning and street smarts. It is equal
to the highest Smarts stat among the Survivors in your Squad.
The token stays on the board until all the gear is taken or the Combat
Phase ends. If your gear is still on the map when the phase ends, it is
removed from the game (return the cards to the game box).

Skill Points
Every time your pawn reaches one of the red

spots
on the victory point tracker, you are immediately awarded the number
of Skill Points indicated on the Scenario Card that match that color

Skill Points are used to increase Firearm or Melee stats on a 1 for 1
basis. Remember, these stats can never be reduced. When you hit 5 and
10 points in these stats, your skill level in those skills increases.
Tallying your Squad Stats
In the first step of every Feed & Fortify Phase, after you’ve fed (or not
fed) your Survivors, it’s time to create your Squad and tally up your
Squad stats.
At the start of each day every player draws a new Daily Goals Card (and
discards the one from the day before, unless there is information on it
thy need to refer to for the rest of the game, for example the Combat
table on the Black Belt card).
The card contains a personal objective that each player may try to
complete by the end of the day.
The left side of the card provides a bit of story as well as your goal for
the day. As soon as you complete the goal, you may immediately claim
the reward. It’s optional to complete the goal but who doesn’t like
some extra Victory Points, or even a special reward?
The right side of the card is your challenge. As soon as you complete
the challenge, you may immediately claim the reward. The challenge is
completely optional, so there’s no need to fret if you can’t complete it.
However, the rewards are often worth the effort.
Are you tough enough to complete both the goal and challenge?
Perform the following steps to tally your Squad stats:
1. Your Squad heals all of the damage that was inflicted upon it the
previous night. Total the Hit Points of all the Survivors in your Squad
and record the number using the Hit Points dial on your Squad
Board. Remember that any Survivor with a Radiation Token on his or
her card has 1 less Hit Point!
2. Total the Armor Skill Points of all the Survivors in your Squad, plus
the Armor value of any Accessory Armory Cards with an Armor
rating, and record the number using the Armor dial on your squad
board.
3. Total the Firearm Skill Points of all the Survivors in your Squad and
record the number using the Firearm Skill dial on your Squad Board.

Movement
General Movement
When a squad or a zombie moves, it may move a number of spaces up
to its Move stat.
Map Symbols Quick Reference
Two miniatures can never occupy the same space at the end of a
movement. A Squad may move through a space occupied by another
Squad, and a zombie may move through a space occupied by another
zombie (though see the rules for double zombies and pushing zombies,
below), but Squads and zombies cannot move through each other’s
spaces.
Bunker Entrance: The blue or yellow arrow indicates the
Bunker entrance space. It costs 1 point of movement to
move between this space and the bunker (or vice versa.
All figures may move diagonally, but diagonal movement through
doorways, or around wall corners, is not allowed.
Walls on the map tiles are indicated by red lines and impassable spaces
are indicated with the icon. No Squad or zombie can move through
red lines or into squares with the icon.
It costs 1 point of Movement to move from a Sewer
Entrance space to another Sewer Entrance space (there
must be another Sewer Entrance space on the board).
Zombies may not use sewers unless noted.
Fire: These will be used in a future expansion: for now,
ignore any instances of these symbols. Mwahahahahaha!
Lookout: A Squad on a lookout space has unrestricted
line of sight. See the Fortification Types section.
No Access: A miniature cannot enter or move through a
no access space. These spaces also block line of sight.
Radiation: A Squad who starts their turn on, or moves
through, a radiation space loses 1 hit point.
Search: A Squad may search a Search space for 1 action
by rolling a Smarts check and drawing a card per success
from the indicated deck.
It costs 1 point of movement to move from the bunker to the board, or
to move from the bunker to a Sewer Entrance on the board (or vice versa).
The Bunker acts as a single square for all purposes.
Sewer Entrance: It costs 1 point of Movement to move
from a Sewer Entrance space to another Sewer Entrance
space. Zombies cannot use sewers unless noted.
Squad Movement
Squads may move twice by using both their actions (but obviously, the
Squad can’t then attack—it was too busy running away to fight!)
It costs 2 points of movement for a Squad to move onto a yield
space or over a sandbag with a on it (and 4 points of movement to
).
move onto a trap with
Biohazard: A Squad who starts their turn on, or moves
through, a biohazard space loses 1 hit point.
Yield: It costs 2 points of Movement for a squad to move
onto a yield space or over a sandbag with a on it (and 4
).
points of movement to move onto a trap with
A zombie must stop after it moves over a player-placed
sandbag; otherwise it ignores all spaces.
A Squad who starts their turn on, or moves through, a biohazard
or radiation space loses 1 hit point.
Zombie Movement
Usually, the player with the most Victory Points moves the zombies,
but other players may help. Start with the zombies closest to their
goals (the Bunker or nearby Squads).
Zombies always move the maximum number of squares possible along
the shortest path to the Bunker entrance, moving around all objects
except sandbags and traps. They move towards a Squad instead of the
Bunker if, at any time, they or the Squad come within 4 squares and
line of sight.
Single zombies (grey) become double zombies (green) when they
move into the same square; create double zombies whenever possible.
Otherwise, zombies may pass through a square occupied by other
16
zombies, but if their movement is blocked by another zombie, they
push those zombies along.
A zombie must stop after it moves over a player-placed sandbag;
otherwise it ignores all yield spaces.
If a group of zombies must decide between more than one Squad to
move towards or attack, divide the zombies into equal groups. If there
is a larger group, it attacks/move towards the Squad belonging to the
player with the most Victory Points. On a Victory Point tie in this case,
both players roll a and the player with the highest result is the
target of the smaller zombie group.
Once the Bunker is breached and there are no Survivors left inside,
zombies gain +2 to their Movement stat, and always move towards
the closest Squad regardless of line of sight.
Search
As an action, you may search a space with a Search icon on
it that your squad is standing on.
White numbers indicate the minimum Smarts stat you need to roll to
search again. When a location is successfully searched a second time,
flip the token to the X side to show the location is exhausted.
Make a Smarts check by rolling red dice equal to your squad’s
Smarts: for each success (5 or ), draw 1 card from the deck
matching the symbol inside the Search icon (and written on the space).
Red numbers mean you must place that number of zombies adjacent
to you; then flip the token to the X side to show the location is
exhausted.
Now draw a Search Token from the facedown pile and place
it on the space with the number side faceup.
When a location is exhausted you can no longer search in the space.
Movement Examples
The red player has a Move of 6.
She moves around the radiation
space, and spends 2 points of
Movement to move onto the

Combat
Fight until all zombies or survivors are dead! We just want destruction
and blood. Woo!
Armory cards that depict weapons are called Weapon Cards. There are
3 types: melee, firearm, and thrown. During an attack action, each
of the Survivors in your squad can use one weapon they carry against a
target within the weapon’s range and in the Squad’s line of sight.

2. Choose a target
Choose a zombie or double zombie within the range of all your
weapons and in line of sight (you may attack zombies in adjacent
squares).

You have to see what you’re attacking! To check line of sight, draw an
imaginary line from the center of the attacker’s space to the center of
the target’s space. If this line crosses a space containing another Squad
or zombie miniature, a space with the icon in it, or if it crosses the
edge of a space marked by a red line, line of sight is blocked.
If your Squad is in a lookout tower, you have line of sight to everywhere
on the board.
You may change targets between actions.
3. Grab your dice
Check your Skill Levels to see how many dice you roll for each weapon.
Use your Firearm Skill stat when using firearms, and your Melee Skill
stat when using melee weapons.
The number of dice you roll for a given Weapon Card, what you need
to roll to succeed, and whether you can use the weapon’s special trait
or or not, all depend on your squad’s weapon skill level in either
firearms or melee: untrained (1-4 points), proficient (5-9) or
master (10).
The maximum number of
you can roll is 8.

When performing an attack action, perform these steps in order:

Each Survivor can only use one weapon at a time (unless the Duel Wield
ability has been unlocked, in which case both weapons must have this
ability).

For each success you kill a single zombie and receive 1 Victory
Point. Record this by moving your pawn up the Victory Point Tracker.
Skill levels increases take effect immediately! So always apply your
skill points to your Squad Board as soon as you get them.
When attacking with firearms, the first successes rolled kill the
targeted zombie/double zombie and subsequent successes kill zombies
on or adjacent to the target zombie that are still within line of sight.
When attacking with melee weapons, successes kill the targeted
zombie/double zombie.
Remove killed zombies from the board. After one success against a
double zombie, replace it with a single zombie.
Can I roll for my weapons one at a
time?
It’s fastest and easiest to roll all your red and blue dice together, then
assign the results to the Weapon Cards you’re using. However, if you
prefer, you can roll for each weapon separately and check the results
one at a time.
Out of Ammo!
Each
you roll on a blue die means a weapon
is out of ammo or an item is unusable (turn the card
sideways to indicate this).
If you’ve rolled for several weapons that need ammo checks at the
same time, you can choose which weapon or weapons receive any
results rolled.
You may discard an Ammo Item Card as a free action to make one
weapon or item usable again (turn the card back to its vertical
orientation).
The bullet symbols on the dice have no game function.
Unarmed
No weapon? No problem! Unarmed Survivors may roll a melee
attack, with a success on a result. Look, it’s better than nothing!
Armory Cards
Ammo Check: This means that the weapon requires ammo. You must
roll 1 blue die when attacking.
Range: This is the maximum distance in spaces at which the weapon
can hit a target (count the target’s space, but not your own).
Range, Throwing: This range icon shows a number of : roll this
number of dice to determine the maximum number of squares the
object may be thrown.
Special Weapon Traits: If your skill meets the required level, you can
use a weapon’s special traits. Once you have reached the level to unlock
a trait, you may use that trait if you are at a higher level.
For example, if your squad was masterful at firearms, you could use
both the Dual-Wield and Sniper traits of the Colt .45.
For each action a special ability can only be applied once.
Armor: Added to your squad’s total Armor stat.
Victory Point Value: Each card is worth a number of Victory Points at
the end of the game.
Special Weapon Traits
Most special weapon traits are described sufficiently on the card, but
here are some extra notes:
Dual-Wield: One survivor can use 2 Dual-Wield weapons, but you
attack with 1 less .
on this weapon’s Ammo die, you are
Gas Powered: If you roll a
out gas. The weapon no longer works until you refuel by spending 1
action in the Bunker.
Knockdown: You knock over a single zombie, instead of killing it.
Knockdowns occur when you roll a number 1 less then your skill requires
on a . Place the knocked down miniature on its side. Any player may
then spend 1 action to automatically curb stomp its face for the kill.
On the next zombie turn, if the zombie was left alive it gets back up.
It cannot move, but may attack a survivor within range. You cannot
knockdown double zombies.
Zombies Attack!
A squad attacked by one or more zombies must make a defense roll.
Roll a for each survivor in your Squad. Each success rolled (5 or
) prevents 1 zombie from attacking you.
If there are still zombies attacking you after your defense roll, roll a
.
for each attacking zombie. Double zombies roll
Remember, on nights 2, 3 and 4, double zombies roll
.
Add up the total result and subtract your squad’s Armor. Reduce
your squad’s Hit Points by the final result.
Bitten: Oops, that’s a clean bite. If the zombies roll double ,
immediately lose a Survivor from your Squad (dropping any cards he
or she carried), and add a zombie to the board adjacent to your Squad.
Well, don’t think of them as dead, think of it as joining the winning
side!
Be sure to recalculate your squad’s Hit Points, Armor, Smarts and
Movement. Finally, tally the result of damage, ignoring the double
results.
On Death’s Door: If your Squad’s total Hit Points are below 10 and
attacking zombies roll double , instead of subtracting a Survivor’s
total Hit Points from your squad, reduce your total Hit Points by 2.
However, still subtract their Armor and adjust your Move and Smarts if
necessary.
Zombies in the Bunker!
When a zombie enters the Bunker, and there are no squads there, it
attacks the unattended Survivors. Each zombie turns 1 Survivor into
a zombie. The next round, those 2 turn 2 more, etc. This continues
until either a Squad intervenes or all of the Survivors in the Bunker are
turned into zombies.
The Bunker always counts as 1 square, so if a Squad goes into the
Bunker to attack the zombies, everyone in the Bunker may attack on
their turn. You may not fire or attack into or out of the Bunker entrance:
if there are zombies inside the Bunker, you must enter the Bunker in
order to attack them.
When you have run out of unclaimed Survivors there is no chance
to restart your Squad! If a Survivor dies during this round, they lose
all the equipment they were carrying. The rest of the players may
continue. Turn over the Bunker tile. Zombies are now enraged: they
gain +2 Movement and move towards the closest Squad
regardless of line of sight.
Combat does not end until everyone—living or undead
—is dead.

Combat Examples
The green player has line of sight from his lookout position
to every zombie on the board. His squad has 1 Survivor with a
MP5. His squad’s Firearm skill is 5 (proficient), so checking the
, killing on a 5 or
MP5 Armory card tells him he rolls
result. He must also roll a . The MP5’s range is 4 spaces
so zombie Z1 is within range.
He rolls 5 and 5 on his attack dice, and a
on his Ammo
die. Zombie Z1 is removed from the board along with zombie
Z2. He gains 2 VPs, but he must turn the MP5 card sideways
and can’t use it again until he discards an Ammo card.

Z2
The blue player has 2 Survivors and 2 melee weapons: a
crowbar and a fireman’s axe. He has a Melee skill of only
(one
for
3 (untrained), so he attacks by rolling
each weapon). He rolls 2 successes, kills double zombie Z3
and gets 2 VPs. This takes him to the 5th spot on the Victory
Point Tracker, rewarding him with 2 Skill Points which
he immediately spends on upgrading his Melee skill to 5
(trained).
The red player attacks double zombie Z7 (note he cannot
attack zombie Z8 through the door corner) with 3 melee
weapons (gumball machine, crowbar and fireman’s axe).
her Melee skill level is 4 (untrained) so she rolls a total of
. She rolls only 1 success, so the green double zombie
is replaced by a single gray zombie and the she gets 1 VP.
The yellow player decides to throw a grenade to try to blow
up zombies Z4, Z5, and Z6, aiming for Z4’s space. She rolls
for the range and gets a total of 4, successfully beating
the 2 space range easily. Then she rolls
and gets 4 successes— KA-BOOOM! All 3 zombies are blown
to smithereens and yellow gets 3 VPs.

Explosives
Explosives, unlike firearms, do not have a fixed range. Under pressure,
you might not always be able to throw that grenade just where you
want it. When throwing an explosive, perform the following steps in order:
1. Roll the throwing range
All thrown weapons require you to roll the number of shown on
the card (bottom right hand corner) to see how many spaces away you
are able to throw it.
The space at which you wish to throw the explosive on must be equal
to or less than the number rolled on your dice. If you roll double 1s you
have dropped the explosive. Oof. Sucks to be you.
The square in which the explosive lands and all 8 adjacent squares
are affected. Any single or double zombie in the center of the blast is
automatically killed (you get 1 victory point as usual).
2. Roll damage dice
Then roll the number of damage dice listed on the card. The
number of successes equal how many zombies are killed in the
surrounding 8 squares (don’t forget, you get 1 Victory Point per zombie
killed).
Explosive damage is dealt within line of sight; therefore walls block
the blast. Fortifications caught in the blast are destroyed and removed
from the board.
If another Squad is in the blast radius, roll the damage dice, killing off
zombies as normal. Any dice that are not absorbed by zombies in the
blast are applied to the Squad as attack damage: subtract the Squad’s
Armor and reduce its Hit Points by the final result.
If you throw the explosive on the square of another Squad, use the
‘dropping the explosive’ rules for that Squad.
Dropping the explosive
If you roll double 1s on your range dice you have dropped the explosive!
Roll the number of damage dice on the card: each 5 or
Survivor in your squad.
kills 1
The total of any remaining dice is applied to your Squad as normal
attack damage: subtract the squad’s Armor and reduce its Hit Points by
the final result. Adjacent zombies are not affected.
Death &
First Aid
Death is common in this game... get used to the fact that in most
games you will probably lose your favorite Survivor. As you might
imagine, there are a few drawbacks to dying.
When a Survivor is killed, another zombie is added to the map adjacent
to your Squad miniature. Remove the Survivor Card from the game and
recalculate your squad’s Hit Points, Armor, Smarts and Movement as a
result. The game continues, with your remaining Survivors continuing
to fight the good fight.
If you have no Hit Points left, arrange your hand of cards (Items and
Weapons) into a pile, placing one of your Death Tokens on top of
them. Leave your second Death Token on the space where all your gear
just dropped.
Pick 2 new Survivors from the draw pile under the Bunker, and start
your next turn in the Bunker. You can use your old Squad miniature or
make up a new one. Take the 2 Armory starting cards under the Bunker
if they are still available. These Survivors form your new Squad. Set
your Squad Board up accordingly.
Then choose one of the following 2 options:
Easy Mode: Keep your Firearm and Melee Skill values at the same
level. This keeps the game fun and easy if there are remaining Survivors
who can reform your squad.
Hardcore: When your squad dies, reset both Firearm and Melee Skill
values back to 0.
The first Squad to stand on the same square as your Death Token on the
board can pick up loot for 1 action. The token stays on the board until
all your possessions are taken or the Combat Phase ends. If your gear is
still on the board when the phase ends, it is removed from the game.
Death & Starting Days After the First
If it’s day 2 or later, you were eaten by zombies, and there were no
Survivors left in the Bunker for you to recruit, roll for scavenging
and gain whatever Survivors and items you may find on the
Scavenging Card to start your new day.
First Aid
On your turn, you may spend a First Aid Item Card and
use 1 Action to restore 6 Hit Points to your squad, up to
your maximum. The card is then discarded to the Item
discard pile.

Quick Play Scenario
The Day Zero scenario is a quick play cooperative scenario where all
players must work together to find the Bunker. It’s a shortened game
with some quick and dirty combat.
The scenario is a Combat Phase only game; all previous phases are
skipped! Start with just one tile, and on each player’s turn their Squad
may walk off the board and place a new tile.
To set up with Quick Play scenario, remove 1 Bunker entrance tile
from the game, and shuffle the other Bunker entrance tile into the
bottom half of the tile stack. Have all players start on a Road Tile.
Follow the Scenario Card for starting survivors and weapons, plus other
game instructions.
On a player’s turn they may spend 1 action to walk off the map and
draw a new tile. Zombies have a Movement stat of 3 and move towards
the closest Squad, even a Squad that aren’t in line of sight.
When a new tile is placed, roll a to determine how many zombies
are placed on that tile. When the Bunker entrance tile is drawn, place
an additional roll worth of zombies on that tile.

These expansion packs introduce new survivors, scenarios, weapons,
and vehicles – bringing a whole new set of challenges and adventures
to the world of Zpocalypse.
New scenarios include enhanced game
play: In Z-Team Alpha, desperately
search for scrap and supplies to repair
a cargo truck to make it out of the city
alive!
In Z-Team Beta, ride into town on
a tank to rescue a senator trapped by a
swarm of zombies!
Fortification Pack includes
41 post-apocalyptic fortifications. Designed
to enhance the parent game, Zpocalypse,
the 3D fortification miniatures replace their
cardboard counter parts. However, there is
nothing stopping you from using them for
your own mischievous ends in any other
tabletop games. Each miniature comes fully
assembled and unpainted.
