Zombies en el Pacífico is an expansion for Guerra en el Pacífico. In this scenario, Zombies have arisen in Victorian England and are overrunning the world. Only in South America there is still some resistance, as the old enemies Chile, Peru and Bolivia combine their forces. In this game, one player plays the zombies, the other players play the humans and try to defeat the zombie hordes, trying to stop their naval units at sea, and also fighting those that came ashore on land. Battles are fought by dice rolls, with different units having different probabilities. Human units can withdraw if in a tight spot (zombies can't). Humans can also recruit new troops, including heroes with special abilities, while the zombies can turn defeated humans into zombies. Humans win if they can defeat all zombies, if the health level reaches 10 points or the infection marker reaches the field for "human victory". Zombies win if the infection marker reaches "zombie victory", or if they defeat all humans or occupy all three capitals.
