Operating (Gameplay Overview)

Zombicide: White Death is a cooperative game where players work together to achieve scenario objectives while battling hordes of zombies and powerful Necromancers. The game is played over a series of rounds, each consisting of a Player Phase and a Zombie Phase.

Player Phase

• Each Survivor takes their turn, performing actions such as moving, searching, opening doors, attacking, or reorganizing inventory.
• Actions are limited by the Survivor's current experience level.
• Cooperation and strategic planning are crucial for success.

Zombie Phase

• All active Zombies on the board activate, moving towards Survivors or attacking if in range.
• New Zombies spawn at designated spawn zones, increasing the threat.
• Corruption Mechanic: Beware the spread of Corruption by Necromancers. This mechanic introduces a timer and additional challenges, requiring Survivors to neutralize its source before it overwhelms Wintergrad.
• Wintergrad Battlements: Utilize the city's battlements for tactical advantages, allowing Survivors to attack from elevated positions. Guards are also present to assist in the defense.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your game components:

• Storage: Store all components in their original box or a suitable storage solution to prevent damage. Keep the game in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe miniatures and game tiles with a dry, soft cloth if they become dusty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Card Care: Handle game cards with care to prevent bending or tearing. Consider using card sleeves for added protection during gameplay.
