Steve Jackson Games 131313 Zombie Dice

As you've probably noticed there are loads of reviews for Zombie Dice already so I'll try to give you my thoughts on this game as briefly as possible.What we have here is an extremely quick and easy dice based filler game for 2+ players with a strong "push your luck" mechanic. The object of the game is to be the first player (or zombie) to eat 13 brains by rolling the dice (or victims) and collecting as many brains as possible without getting shot and killed. When to stop rolling and cut your losses before passing to the next player is up to you.So as you may have guessed the main components of this game are the dice and I'm glad to say that all 13 are excellent quality (6 green, 4 yellow and 3 red all representing varying degrees of difficulty), also the plastic container is solid which is good because you'll constantly be shaking it and shoving your hand in to draw more dice.The positives;1. Zombie Dice plays very quickly and the rules are simple and to the point.2. The components are basic but very well produced, the size is perfect aswell and will fit easily in a bag or pocket.3. Zombie Dice is the definition of a good filler game, because of its fast pace and easy rules you'll be able to play a couple of games in just a few minutes and it will get the players talking and laughing before getting stuck into the next main game.The negatives;1. The zombie theme is good but feels very pasted on - this game could literally have any theme and play exactly the same. Shame on you Steve Jackson for jumping on the zombie bandwagon just for the sake of it.So overall I would recommend Zombie Dice if you want a fun and fast filler game with good replay value and at a reasonable price too.

This might not seem like much for the price because it's basically a container with 13 dice. But trust me, as a life long gamer, you'll play this often and will never look back.It's not a long game and a great filler in between big games. It can be quite intense as well. The size is easy enough to travel with and definitely a game you should carry with you if you are hanging around game players.You're looking to score 13 points before anyone else by pulling out 3 random dice and trying to score brains. After a roll, you can bank you brains, or take another turn, but you always roll 3 dice so you'd put brains to one side, reroll the feet, but also put the shotgun hits to one side as well.. 3 of those and you lose any points you could have banked this turn.There are green, yellow and red coloured dice, green has 3 brains on it, yellow 2 and red one. The shotgun hits you're trying to avoid, well the red having 3 on it, you're closer to losing your points. So obviously, you don't want to pull red dice as there's a huge risk of rolling what you don't want.I am one of two people in my circle that have gotten all 13 points on the first turn. A very very proud thing to do, but VERY difficult. You have to hold your nerve and not cavein to banking. It can be quite intense.Highly recommended. The only problems I have with it is the cylinder box. Finding a place for it on the game shelf is a nightmare. Also, if it came with a dice bag, that would be great, especially for this price.

Zombie Dice is a wonderful little game where you are a zombie trying to eat as many brains as possible without getting your head blown off by those pesky survivors. You randomly take 3 dice out of the cup and try to roll brains, rerolling any runners and trying to avoid getting shot. You keep any brains and shots rolled. You can continue randomly picking up to 3 dice to keep rolling (pushing your luck at time when all you have left are red dice that mean it is far more likely you will get shot) or stop picking more dice and your turn at any point and mark down how many brains you ate.The game is fast to play and if often over in 5 minutes so it is a great filler to play between games or at the end of a gaming night, or you can just keep having as many games as you like. The game has a fairly low target number of brains to eat before the game ends so we usually increase that to have longer games, but the design and rules are so elegantly simple it is a work of genius.Easily one of my favourite games.

Great little game, takes minutes to learn, can be played with many people, and it's just a great laugh. Buy it!

Steve Jackson is a really good place to look for your 'quick to learn games'. Munchkin is definitely one of my favourites and with the amount of additional content it's hard to beat when it comes to replayabilty. Therefore when I've found out that Zombie Dice comes straight from makers of Munchkin I didn't hesitate and didn't waste any time on reading the reviews - just ordered it. It was no mistake - Zombie dice (especially with both DLC) is a fun, quick, easy to learn and (important) really pocket size game. Slightly over dozen die and pure luck is what makes this game exciting. It's an amazing game whenever you feel like you need a break from lengthy and heavy board games but it's also really good to just pack and have a quick game on your way. Absolutely recommend it!

Such a simple yet fun dice game. Quick to play, easy to learn but always with enough interest to keep it fun. You have a cup of dice, take three (without look) roll with the hope of getting'good side up. Simple. But the fun comes with deciding if you stick and keep the points or roll again for more but risk losing all your points that turn. Like the hare and tortoise, do you build your score slowly or be a bit greedy and gamble on a few more. The fact that the bad sides are gun shots to kill you and the good sides are the opportunity for you as a zombie to eat human brains just rounds off the game's humourous and silly side and of course helps tease the teens off their mobiles for some real people interaction. Sure it's aimed at adults and older children and the principal would work just the same with bunnies eating lettuce and a farmer with a net but but who doesn't like some nice clean Zombie fun every now and then. We all loved it, totally recommended.

Lo conocí y lo quise comprar porque me gustó lo sencillo que es, además que es de esos juegos que puedes sacar entre partidas de otros juegos más largos y no interrumpen. Y los dados son geniales jajaja

I bought this game for my 5 year old and 6 year old grandsons. The game is so easy to play and lots of fun! We even play over FaceTime. The game is quick, great quality of dice. I recommend this game, have even taught my 3 year old grandson.
