Give Me the Brain!

You are a zombie in hell's fast-food joint, and there is only one brain for the whole crew.

Working in fast food is hell. Literally: you are a zombie in a fast-food restaurant in the underworld, and your shift will not end until the tasks pile up and you finish them. The catch is that some jobs need actual intelligence, and the entire restaurant shares exactly one brain. You spend action points, manage your hand, and bid for that brain at the right moment while everyone else tries to snatch it away. It is a fast, silly 1996 card game, ideal when you want groaning and laughing in about fifteen minutes. Zombie shuffling is encouraged, and so is complaining about your coworkers.

Who it's for

You like dark-comedy card games where friends steal from each other, and you want a quick, noisy game with three to eight players.

Not for you if…

You dislike take-that moments or you want something thoughtful. This is about chaos and sniping.

Vibe's take

Fast, loud and mean in a cheerful way. Everyone is trying to finish their chores while sniping the one brain away from each other, so there is always something to groan about.
