Eat brains. Don't get shotgunned.
In Zombie Dice, you are a zombie. You want braaains – more brains than any of your zombie buddies. The 13 custom dice are your victims. Push your luck to eat their brains, but stop rolling before the shotgun blasts end your turn! Whoever collects 13 brains first wins. Each game takes 10 to 20 minutes, and can be taught in a single round.
Gameplay
Each turn, you take 3 dice from the box and roll them. A brain symbol is worth one point at the end of the round, while footsteps allow you to reroll this particular dice. Shotgun blasts on the other hand are rather bad, cause if you collect 3 shotgun blasts during your turn, it is over for you and you get no points. After rolling 3 dice, you may decide if you want to score your current brain collection or if you want to push your luck by grabbing new dice so you have 3 again and roll once more.
It’s an easy game to learn. I’d like to get the expansion dice as well.
This game is just fine. It is a simple and quick push your luck game but it just isn't that great. I find that I am either the person who gets nothing but bad luck and loses. Or I get good rolls and play reasonably to win. Either way all you are doing is really simple math to figure out the odds of drawing bad dice and they making a risk assessment. Because it is so straight forward it is typically an easy decision. I would have also preferred a bag instead of this cup given that you do not roll using the cup.
The best part about this game is how simple and fun it can be! Are you willing to risk it all? Play it safe and lose or risk it all to get the most brains? I love how transportable it is as I've even taken this to the beach. It's a family favourite and perfect warmup for game night! Put something on the line to make it more intense ;)
And the perfect filler, we play this absentmindedly before RPG sessions. Its a well rounded push your luck game.
