About the game
Zombicide Season 2: Prison Outbreak drops survivors into a claustrophobic prison overrun by vicious berserker zombies, expanding the acclaimed Zombicide cooperative miniatures game. Players use action points to scavenge, fight, and unlock secret areas while managing an ever-growing zombie horde spawned by noise and mayhem. Six new survivors with complementary special abilities join the fight, wielding riot shields, shotguns, and concrete saws to turn the prison into a safe haven. Its interconnected missions form a mini-campaign of escalating danger.
Hobbli's Notes
Prison Outbreak captures everything fans love about Zombicide: satisfying miniature combat, mounting tension as zombies swarm, and a real sense of teamwork under pressure. The close-quarters prison setting adds a claustrophobic twist to the usual open-street mayhem. As a stand-alone or add-on, it's an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys cooperative zombie survival with lots of plastic on the table.
What we like
- Satisfying cooperative miniatures combat with lots of table presence.
- New berserker zombies and prison setting add fresh tactical challenges.
- Six new survivors with complementary abilities encourage teamwork.
- Scales well from solo play up to six players.
Keep in mind
- Escalating zombie hordes can occasionally feel swingy.
- Miniature assembly and setup can add prep time.
- Repeated missions may feel similar over many plays.
Who it's for
Great for groups of 1-6 teens and adults who enjoy cooperative miniature combat and zombie survival horror themes.
