What’s better than getting yourself as a survivor? How about a pet! This deck includes many of the animal submissions from the backers from our first Kickstarter and a few of our own devising. Some of them are walking time bombs, and others are just plain adorable. Either way having a fifth member of your Squad can come in handy when holding back a zombie horde. Whether it’s man’s best friend or a polar bear, you never know what they will bring to the Squad dynamic. This deck also includes new special abilities. Each deck comes with 25 Survivors and 2 Blank cards for you to create your own.

The catalogue lists Zpocalypse: Animal Survivor Card Pack for ages 13 and up.
