Add two players to Run Fight or Die: Reloaded without bogging down turns. Follow this step-by-step setup, rules, and table-space guide for six-player zombie dice games.
Quick answer
Set up the Run Fight or Die 5-6 Player Expansion by adding its extra player boards and tokens to the base game, then adjust the zombie spawn and turn order for six players. The expansion is designed for the Reloaded core set, so use the base game's rules for combat and scoring unless the expansion insert says otherwise.
Why player count changes the table, not just the rules
With six players, the biggest practical challenge is downtime between turns. The expansion adds components for two more players, but it does not shorten the base game's dice-rolling and zombie-fighting phases. Plan for a longer session and keep the table organized so each player can resolve their turn without waiting on shared components.
The expansion also increases the number of zombies on the board. More players means more spawns and more targets, which can make the game feel more chaotic. That is part of the appeal of a multiplayer zombie dice game, but it also means you should agree on a spawn and activation order before the first turn.
What the expansion adds and what it does not
The Run Fight or Die 5-6 Player Expansion contains the extra player boards, tokens, and cards needed to include two additional players. It does not replace the base game's core rules for movement, combat, or scoring. If you are new to the system, learn the base game with three or four players first, then add the expansion.
Because the expansion is a retailer-only product, it is sold through physical stores and store websites, not on Amazon or other online retailers. That matters for availability: check with your local game store or the Grey Fox Games retailer program rather than expecting to find it on major marketplaces.
Setup steps for six players
- 1. Build the base game first: Set up the Run Fight or Die: Reloaded core set exactly as you would for four players, including the board, zombie pool, and starting player boards. Do not add expansion components until the base setup is complete. Checkpoint: confirm every base-game component is in place before opening the expansion.
- 2. Add the expansion player boards: Give each of the two additional players one of the expansion's player boards and matching tokens. Seat all six players around the table so everyone can reach the central board and the zombie pool. Common mistake: mixing expansion and base-game tokens of the same type; keep each player's set separate.
- 3. Adjust the zombie spawn: Follow the expansion's spawn instructions for five or six players. If the insert does not specify a different spawn rate, use the base game's per-player spawn rule and add the extra spawns for the two new players. Checkpoint: before the first turn, count the starting zombies and confirm they match the six-player setup.
- 4. Set turn order and activation: Choose a first player and proceed clockwise. At six players, agree on whether zombies activate after each player turn or at the end of the round, based on the base game's rules. Write the order down if your group tends to debate it. Common mistake: assuming the expansion changes the base game's turn order; it does not unless the insert says so.
- 5. Run a practice round: Before playing for real, run one practice round with no scoring. This lets new players learn the dice actions and lets the group spot table-space or component-shortage issues. Checkpoint: if the table feels crowded, move the zombie pool to a side table and assign one player to manage spawns.
