– Jared
Zombicide: Invader is played over a series of Game Rounds,
which proceed as follows.
PLAYERS’ PHASE
The player with the First Player token takes their Turn,
activating their Survivors one at a time, in the order of their
choice. Each Survivor can initially perform 3 Actions per Turn,
though they may gain Skills allowing them to perform extra
Actions as the game progresses. The Survivor may use their
Actions to kill Xenos, move around the board, and perform
other tasks to accomplish the various Mission Objectives.
Some Actions make Noise, and Noise attracts Xenos!
Once a player has activated all their Survivors, the player
to the left takes their Turn, activating their Survivors in the
same manner.
When all the players have completed their Turns, the Players’
Phase ends.

Zombicide: Invader features different kinds of Equipment

Combat characteristics displayed at the bottom:
Weapons fall into 2 categories: Melee weapons and Ranged

distinguish each type.
Melee weapons bear the Melee symbol. They

have a Range 0 value and thus can only be
used in the same Zone as the Survivor. They
are used with Melee Actions (P. 31).
AMMO TYPE
Most weapons use solid ammunition or a power source to

eliminate Xenos. They have infinite ammo (enjoy!). However,
the type of Ammo influences several game effects.

Weapons with the Energy symbol use a power

Energy-fed weapons can be used in any Zone.
Sledges are silent weapons to kill with.

Light Machine Guns produce Noise when firing.
Note that their Prototype counterpart is Silent!
Cattle Prods and Chainsaws use Energy as a power

source. They can be used anywhere. Prototype
weapons are both Ranged and Energy weapons, and
thus allow Ranged Combat in any type of Zone!
But they require an Attached Energy Cell to work.

XENOS
Zombicide: Invader features four types of Xenos. Most
of them have a single Action to spend each time they
activate (Hunters have 2). A Xeno is eliminated as soon as
it is successfully hit with an attack that has the minimum
required Damage value. Then its assailant immediately
earns the listed Experience Points.

Workers are the most common Xenos. While they seem to
be the weakest among their species, each one is strong

targets with a single punch, rending exo-armors in seconds. Faster and more cunning than their brethren, the Hunters’

- 2 Damage on the Civilian, killing them and ending the game.

- 1 Damage on each Survivor.
Each Xeno activates and spends its Action on either an
Attack or a Move, depending on its situation. Resolve all the
Attacks first, then all the Moves. Each Xeno performs either
an Attack OR a Move with a single Action.
ATTACK
Each Xeno in the same Zone as Survivors performs an

Attack. A Xeno’s Attack is always successful, does not
require any die rolls, and inflicts a specific amount of

cannot be closed again. Mold application (P. 20) removes
destroyed door tokens.

If there is more than one route of the same length, Xenos
split into groups of equal numbers and types to follow all
possible routes. They also split up if different target Zones
contain the same number of Noise tokens.
Uneven Xenos groups are split the same way. Decide which
splitting group gets the extra Xeno and which direction the

FRIENDLY FIRE
I found this embedded in my armor. Whose bullet is this?
(*general whistling*)
A Survivor can’t hit themselves with their own attacks.

However, emergency situations can call for Ranged
or Machine Actions aimed at a Zone where a teammate
is stuck.
In that case, misses on the Attack roll automatically hit
Survivors standing in the target Zone. Assign these Friendly
Fire hits in any way you want and apply Damage normally.
Remember: Friendly Fire doesn’t apply to Melee Actions.
EXAMPLE: Armed with a Heavy Shotgun (Damage 2), Cole
performs a Ranged Action at a Zone with 1 Tank, 2 Workers,
and 2 Hunters.
• Cole rolls • and • for his first Action. Hits are obtained
with 4 or more, which means 2 hits. Following the Targeting
Priority Order, the first hit is assigned to the Tank, eliminating
it (Damage 2). The second hit is assigned to a Worker,
eliminating it as well (1 hit = 1 target).
• Cole rolls • and • with his second Action, obtaining 2
hits. The Targeting Priority Order lists the Worker as the first
target, so it’s eliminated. The second hit is allocated to either
Hunter, eliminating it as well. A single Hunter remains.

A Ranged Concentrated Attack still follows the Targeting

EXAMPLE 1: Armed with a Light Machine Gun (Damage 1),
