About the game

Zombicide Season 3: Rue Morgue drops one to twelve players into a cooperative fight against a self-driving zombie horde, now with new team-based mechanics and terrifying foes like the Skinner Zombie and the A-Bomb Abomination. Survivors scavenge, loot weapons, and level up, but growing stronger only attracts more of the shuffling dead. A new optional player-versus-player ruleset lets teams turn on each other when the zombies aren't scary enough. It's a big, miniature-driven horde crawl built for groups.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's editors see this as a strong, standalone entry in the sprawling Zombicide line, with the team mechanic adding a welcome layer of coordination. The new zombie types genuinely ramp up the tension in later scenarios. It shines best with a full table of friends leaning into the chaos. The optional PvP mode is a fun twist for groups who want an edge of rivalry.

What we like

  • Supports a huge range of players, from solo up to twelve.
  • New team mechanics add meaningful coordination between survivors.
  • Optional PvP rules add fresh replay value.
  • Escalating zombie threats keep tension high throughout play.

Keep in mind

  • Requires significant table space for miniatures and modular boards.
  • Can overwhelm new players with escalating difficulty.
  • Best experience often requires combining with other Zombicide sets.

Who it's for

Great for groups of friends and horror-cooperative fans ages 13 and up who enjoy miniature-heavy team survival games.
