Board game Portal Games Zombicide: Living or Undead — Riders from Nowhere (expansion set)

Zombicide: Living or Undead — Riders from Nowhere (expansion set) by Portal Games expands the Zombicide system with new scenarios, rider-type characters and supplementary components designed to increase tactical variety and campaign length. The expansion integrates with existing Zombicide: Living or Undead campaigns and provides fresh encounter dynamics through mounted foes or allies that change movement, engagement and threat management on the board. Components are intended for cooperative group play and add options for mission design and replayability.

Advantages

This expansion introduces rider figures and related rules that modify line-of-sight, movement ranges and engagement priorities without changing the core Zombicide mechanics. It supplies scenario-driven content that can be inserted into ongoing campaigns or used as standalone missions, extending the duration and variability of play sessions. The set also increases tactical decision points by combining standard zombie threats with rider behaviours, enabling new strategies for positioning, crowd control and objective protection.

Suitable for

• Cooperative play sessions with 1–6 players in existing Zombicide campaigns
• Players seeking additional scenarios and tactical variety
• Groups that want to extend campaign length and replayability
• Tabletop hobbyists who collect Zombicide expansions and modular components

Key specifications

• Expansion type: scenario and component pack compatible with Zombicide: Living or Undead
• Contents: rider figures, scenario cards, new rules inserts and campaign tokens
• Game genre: cooperative survival / zombie board game expansion
• Player count: designed to integrate with base game player range
• Playtime: increases with added scenarios and campaign integration

How to use

Follow the integration instructions included in the expansion manual to add rider figures and scenario components to an existing Zombicide: Living or Undead setup. Place new tiles, tokens and figures according to scenario setup diagrams, then apply the rider-specific rules during the activation phase described in the scenario. Use the scenario cards to trigger riders, special events and mission objectives. The expansion is designed to be placed into the campaign flow at the recommended insertion points or played as isolated scenarios for shorter sessions.

Usage recommendations

Use this expansion with the Zombicide: Living or Undead base set and official campaign book for full compatibility. Introduce rider mechanics gradually during a campaign session if players are unfamiliar with mounted enemy behaviours. For balanced play, adjust difficulty by varying the number of additional zombie spawns and by selecting scenarios that match the group’s experience level.
