Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game – Clash of the Sinister Six is an expansion for Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game released in 2023 for 1–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Michael Shinall and Fábio Cury and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Modular Board, and Cooperative Game.
Clash of the Sinister Six features special Team vs Team Missions, pitting two groups of players against each. In this unique game mode, you’ll control a team of either Super Hero or Zombie Heroes, each team with 3 to 6 characters, each side attempting to eliminate the other while completing mini-objectives around the map to gain extra benefits. Heroes, whether Super or Zombie, will also make use of special Teamwork cards, only utilized in this game mode. These cards grant powerful benefits to you and your team, as long as they are strategically used! Opponents also won’t know exactly what plan you have until you’ve revealed it, so secret strategies and tactics can be employed as needed! This expansion features two new locations: The New York Subway System as well as Central Park, bringing new Missions (for both Team vs Team and normal play) and customizable map options. These can be easily combined with the Marvel Zombies core box tiles to create sprawling arenas for epic battles to take place. Note: Since Team vs Team mode has players controlling both Zombie Heroes and Super Heroes, to properly use this mode both the Marvel Zombies and the X-Men Resistance core boxes are needed. –description from the publisher
