Who it's for

Groups who want a tiny, noisy dice game that anyone can join mid-conversation. Great with four or five, but handles big crowds.

Not for you if…

You want strategy, or you hate losing a whole turn to a bad roll. It is mostly luck and nerve.

Vibe's take

Loud, silly and tense in short bursts. Everyone groans together on a three-shotgun bust, then someone brags about a ten-brain streak.

About this game

You are a zombie, and you want brains. The game gives you 13 dice that stand in for your victims. Each turn you pull three dice from the cup and roll: brains score, footsteps mean the victim ran and you may re-roll that die, and shotgun blasts hurt. Three shotguns in one turn and you lose everything you gathered. The only decision is whether to keep rolling or to stop and bank your brains. First to 13 brains wins. A round is quick and loud, it works with a huge crowd, and the joke of acting like a hungry zombie keeps it fun even when luck turns on you.
