Zombie Dice might just be my new favorite game! It’s quick and easy and you get to devour people’s brains! Ok, there’s no actual brain-devouring, but it’s still a lot of fun!
The game comes with 13 six-sided dice (with varying amounts of brains, footsteps, and shotgun blasts depicted on each) and a dice cup. That’s it. That’s all you need. If you roll a brain, yay! You ate someone! Go you! If you roll footsteps, they got away. Phooey! If you roll a shotgun blast, oh no! Someone fought back!
Each turn starts with a player rolling three random dice from the dice cup. Put any brains you’ve rolled to one side. Put shotgun blasts to the other side. If you’ve rolled three blasts, your turn is through. If you have less than three blasts you may go again and roll a new set of three random dice, but keep in mind if you reach three blasts in a turn, you’ll lose all the brains you have to the side. If you choose to play it safe and hand the dice cup over to the next player before you reach three blasts, you may “bank” the brains you’ve acquired this turn and add that number to your score. The player who eats 13 brains, wins!
Zombie Dice is recommended for ages 10 and up (but I’ve played it with younger) and for 2 – 8 players. It’s a quick play, pretty addictive, and a tad on the darkly silly side.
