Understanding Seasons and Chapters

Zombies the Board Game or ZtBG or “Zombies” as we call it for short in this manual is organised into Seasons and Chapters much like a series you would watch on Netflix (seasons and episodes=chapters).
The base game is produced with 5 Chapters, 2 Side-Story Chapters (much like optional side quests), and 2 non-playable Prologue and Epilogues letters. Making Season 1 a total of 9 letters.
You can play Zombies in one sitting (potentially taking a whole day!) or multiple sessions with each playable Chapter taking between 60 to 90 minutes or more.
To start a Season, or traditionally known as “campaign”, players must nominate a Zombies Master or ZoM. The ZoM is responsible for managing all enemy decisions and activities throughout the Season.

The first things a ZoM should know about Zombies

1) Help players with Chapter Setup (See Rules > 02 Chapter Setup)
2) The sequence of reading of letters throughout the season:
Read the Prologue Letter out load at the start of the Season to all players
Read the Chapter Letter relevant to that the current game session. For example if you are just starting a new season, the ZoM should read the letter labelled Chapter 1.
