About the game
The streets of Gotham were never the safest place. But now that Darkseid’s Anti-Life Equation has been unleashed, it’s not pickpockets and thugs you have to worry about. It’s the zombie hordes and Zombie Heroes. DCeased – A Zombicide Game: Gotham City Outbreak puts players in the role of the last uninfected Super Heroes fighting against Zombie Heroes and the zombie hordes, controlled by the game itself. The outbreak has created some rather unlikely allies, but extreme times call for extreme measures. Players must work together and use their special abilities to their max in order to survive the meaner streets of Gotham. Gotham City Outbreak is a stand alone, slimmed down version of DCeased - A Zombicide Game. Using the same core Zombicide gameplay, it features unique characters, standees instead of miniatures, and simplified health/power tracking. It is compatible with other Dceased materials.
