Ace of Spades: Call of the Zombie
Players confront an undead saloon scenario where a vengeful necromancer commands waves of zombies. This expansion adds 15 new zombie enemy cards and four variants of the Hellbilly boss that alter enemy behavior. Enemies capture cards from players’ hand combinations when they are played, permanently linking and removing one or two cards used to damage that enemy. Zombies do not die, so surviving encounters leads to larger hordes and escalating threats as the round continues.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How do I make the Bonus deck for this expansion?
Use the base-game Enemy cards to make it: place a random 10 face down, then add random cards numbered 9, 7, 6, 4, 3, and 1, plus one card with the Ace of Spades on the back. (p. 1)
When a Goon captures cards, can it take any cards from my Hand?
No. It captures only the card or cards in the combination that dealt the killing damage; you choose which of those cards are captured, and discard the rest of the Hand. (p. 1)
What happens to defeated Goons when a Villain appears, and how do I defeat them again?
The Villain reanimates previously defeated Goons with their captured cards, and those Goons return without life points. To defeat a reanimated Goon, use a combination that damages the Villain and includes a card matching the value or suit of one of that Goon’s captured cards. (p. 1)
Can I use the same card to defeat more than one reanimated Goon?
No. Each card in a combination that damages the Villain can be used to defeat only one captured card. (p. 1)
Do I have to defeat both captured cards of an elite Goon in one Hand?
No. You can defeat its two captured cards in different Hands; mark a card you defeat so you can track that the Goon is wounded, then defeat its remaining card later. (pp. 1–2)
Can I defeat the Villain while some reanimated zombies are still in play, and what do I need to win against the Zombie Master?
You must eliminate all reanimated zombies before defeating the Villain, or you lose the game. To win against the Hellbilly Zombie Master, you must also be holding the Ace of Spades. (pp. 1–2)
