SECRET SERVICE
As we learned later, the secret service did their
best to contain the first zombie waves, protect the
White House, and help as many people as possible to
escape. Many heroes died on day one. I know it ’ s
strange, but for that reason, we have some respect
for the equipment and facilities they left behind.
Unfortunately, they were not build to last, and
often break easier than their civilian counterparts.

SANDBAGS

really smart, and lacks the coordination to perform most
trivial tasks. Imagine our faces as we were hiding behind
sandbags and expected them to jump on us, and saw our
foes being stopped, trying to get around.

Campaign Missions may either require an important decision

to make, or get Survivors to perform a significant feat. The
choice or feat may result in writing a Campaign Achievement,
usually a descriptive keyword (like “Praetorian” or “Tunnel
Dweller”, for example), in the corresponding section of the
Campaign Sheet.
Campaign Achievements may be individual or collective.
They may have an impact on future Missions: obtaining a
specific Achievement may unlock special events, influence
the behavior of non-playing characters toward the Survivor,
or change the course of the Campaign itself.

OBJECTIVE CARDS
We ’ve seen our share of weird things and
unexpected events since our Washington days.
First, we never grew accustomed to them. Second,
we don’ t want them to stop!
WASHINGTON Z.C.
RULES •

In Campaign Missions, Objective tokens are replaced with

Objective cards. These cards are designed to be set in specific
Zones, or straddling doors. Their back blends with the tile’s
environment. Don’t read Objective cards until a Survivor
takes them up, as it would spoil your gaming experience!

14
-- SETUP

Each Campaign Mission has its own set of Objective cards,

:
gathered in an Objective pack. Make sure to take the right
set for the chosen Mission, and place the Objective cards
as described on the Mission map. For an easier setting,
Objective cards feature the number(s) of the tile(s) they
are placed on.

Some Objective cards, called Notes, are placed facedown

close to the board. They may be read during the Mission,
according to the decisions the Survivors make.

This is a basic campaign Mission layout. Everything is the same, except the Objective tokens have been replaced
with Objective cards. When a Survivor picks one up, the player reads it aloud, and apply the corresponding game
effects. Sometimes, choices have to be made! Also, please note the Pimpweapon Crate stay the same.

WASHINGTON Z.C.
RULES •

These are Notes. They can be picked up and

read along the game, according to situations
or choices made with the Objective cards. For
example, Objective Card #14 may lead you to
choose between two options. Each of them is then
explained on its corresponding Note, #1 or #2.

-- ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEYWORDS

Objective cards may feature Achievements to write down on

Campaign Sheets (see P. XX).
Some Objective cards also feature capitalized keywords,
linking them to other Objective cards in a narrative way.

EXAMPLE: Tess takes a door Objective card. The player

reads it and discovers it cannot be opened as a KEYCARD is
needed. But when it is done, players may read Note #1. The
Objective card is placed back on the door.
Later, Angelo takes an Objective card featuring a KEYCARD.
The door Tess previously found can now be opened. As soon
as it is done, Note #1 is read. What secret lies inside this
locked room?
