About the game
It was inevitable that crows would get infected, scavenging all those zombie bodies. It was also inevitable that it would be very bad news. Crowz may be easy to kill, but these flying vermin can move awfully fast and, worst of all, they can ignore any obstacles, either flying over them or squeezing through broken windows, holes in the roof or gaps on crumbling walls! This box of Zombies implements infected Crows into the Zombicide games. The box contains 15 miniatures and the spawn cards to play them. Note: This item, although functioning in a similar way to Zombicide: Black Plague – Murder of Crowz, does not expand Zombicide: Black Plague, and Zombicide: Black Plague – Murder of Crowz does not expand Zombicide, because of the card backs. This entry allows for the correct items to be linked as expansions to the correct entries.
