Zombie Dice, a new game from Steve Jackson Games, has us pretty excited here at Dice of Doom. The premise is pretty simple – you are a zombie, hungry and desperately attempting to eat brains whilst trying to avoid the natural enemy of the zombie – the shotgun. While we are all left waiting for the game to be released early next year some time, they have kindly created a Flash Demo of the game to further tease educate us on the way the game is played – and we have to admit – it looks pretty fun. The Flash Demo is worth watching for the pure amusement value – think ‘Zombie narrator’…
Overall the game appears to be fairly straightforward. You roll three dice (randomly chosen from a pool of 13) and check the result. If you roll brains, you get points. If you roll shotguns, you take hits. Once you have been shotgunned three times you have been killed.
From the website:
Eat brains. Don’t get shotgunned.
You are a zombie. You want braaains. More brains than any of your zombie buddies.
Zombie Dice is fast and easy for any zombie fan (or the whole zombie family). The 13 custom dice are your victims. Push your luck to eat their brains, but stop rolling before the shotgun blasts end your turn!
Two or more can play. Each game takes 10 to 20 minutes, and can be taught in a single round.
The game looks like a great for passing the time waiting for players to turn up to game or something between classes. Can’t wait for this to come out…
