Zombicide: Invader – Kabuki Gang Survivor Pack is an expansion for Zombicide: Invader released in 2019 for 1–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Adrian Smith and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Dice Rolling.
Kickstarter Exclusive set of 6 original Survivors designed by Adrian Smith, including their figures and ID cards. The Kabuki Gang is an actual performance troupe that was touring the base when the Xenos attacked. The members of this troupe, most of them with rather shady pasts, didn't hesitate to pick up arms and face the invaders. Assuming the identity of the characters they were playing in their performance of Yotsuya Kaidan (including traditional wardrobe and masks), these actors scrambled to find whatever they could to help them in their fight. This means this group of Survivors each starts the game with an extra Equipment card, randomly drawn from the pile. The show, as they say, must go on! —description from the publisher
