Zombicide (2nd Edition): Rio Z Janeiro
Survivors navigate a riotous, tropical city overrun by the undead during a festival season. Players control characters who scavenge streets, buildings, and parade routes for equipment, complete objectives from a linked campaign, and fend off growing hordes of zombies using cooperative tactics and action selection. The scenario-driven campaign advances a narrative about reaching a possible cure or escaping by sea, with evolving missions that alter map layouts, objectives, and enemy density as play progresses.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
When I go All-Out, what happens if I roll a Break?
After resolving the Combat Action, discard the weapon if any All-Out die showed a Break; with dual weapons, each Break loses one weapon. All-Out dice can’t be rerolled (p. 5).
When a Survivor takes a Wound, do I just lose 1 Health?
You lose 1 Health as usual and immediately draw and apply a Wound card. If you suffer multiple Wounds, resolve each card before drawing the next (p. 7).
If my Survivor loses their last Health, are they dead right away?
In a Campaign using the KO rules, they’re KOed, not dead: lay their miniature down and discard their Equipment. Another Survivor can take them as an Objective before the End Phase of the subsequent Game Round; otherwise, they die (p. 6).
Do I get Adrenaline Points or trigger Skills when I take an Objective card?
Taking an Objective card grants no AP unless the card says otherwise, and Survivor Skills don’t trigger when its effects occur. Read the card aloud and resolve its effects; it’s discarded afterward unless instructed otherwise (p. 14).
Can I Search a Narrow Zone, or move into one that’s full?
No. Narrow Zones can’t be Searched, and an Actor can’t enter if all the Zone’s Spots are occupied; each Spot holds one Actor (p. 8).
When do Zombies pull Survivors out of Narrow Zones?
At the start of the Zombie Phase, before any Zombie Activation, Zombies in Zones adjacent to a Narrow Zone pull Survivors from it into their Zones. Each Zombie can pull only one Survivor, and this doesn’t count as a Zombie Action (p. 8).
