Free League Publishing announced the release of “Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars,” a new miniature skirmish game set in the Mutant Year Zero universe. The game invites players to engage in battles for survival and dominance in a post-apocalyptic setting.
“Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars” aims to offer a fast-paced gameplay experience, emphasizing tactical battles intertwined with a narrative that evolves with each session. Players lead groups of mutants, animals, and robots in a quest to transform a Rot-infested wasteland into a new land of opportunity. They face challenges including scavenging for artifacts and confronting new, formidable enemies.
The core set of the game includes ten 32 mm miniatures split between two factions: the Ark Mutants and the Genlab Tribe. The Ark Mutants are human mutants on a quest to find their origins, while the Genlab Tribe comprises intelligent animal mutants who have recently gained freedom. The set also features 83 playing cards, 105 tokens, 10 custom dice, a 36″ x 36″ game mat, three full sheets of cardboard terrain, a measuring ruler, and a rulebook that includes rules for character generation, solo play, and campaign scenarios.
Additionally, Free League Publishing has released the “Robots & Psionics” expansion alongside the core game. This expansion introduces ten new miniatures—five each from the Mechatron Hive, a group of newly self-aware robots, and the Nova Cult, a secretive group of human mutants with psionic powers. The expansion adds new playing cards, tokens, dice, and terrain, along with a scenario booklet that outlines five new gameplay scenarios.
Both the core game and its expansion come with miniatures that are pre-assembled and pre-painted, designed to be used directly out of the box, facilitating immediate gameplay.
“Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars” is compatible with the Mutant: Year Zero roleplaying game, allowing players to incorporate characters and scenarios from the tabletop RPG into the skirmish game.
The game and its expansion are now available for purchase through the Free League webshop and will soon be available at global retailers.
