About the game
Zombie Dice is a fast push-your-luck dice game in which players take on the role of hungry zombies trying to eat more brains than anyone else. Each turn, you roll three of the thirteen custom dice, collecting brains while avoiding three shotgun blasts that end your turn with nothing scored. Footstep results let you reroll, tempting you to push further before your luck runs out. First to thirteen brains wins in this quick, endlessly replayable filler.
Hobbli's Notes
Zombie Dice is a masterclass in simple push-your-luck design: it takes thirty seconds to teach and never overstays its welcome. The tension of deciding whether to bank your brains or roll again is exactly the kind of thing that makes for great party laughter. Its small tin makes it endlessly portable, and it plays great with large groups since turns are so fast. It's a genuine modern classic filler.
