Zombie Dice

Pro: This game is extremely easy to learn, very fast paced, and the more people you have the more fun it is. A very simple dice game that has the whole party excited with each roll.Con: For more advanced gamers it lacks a little depth, but the expansion helps with that a bit and it’s just so darn fun that replaying is never an issue, especially at a party or holiday with the family.Kids: I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old who play and love this game. They love plans vs. zombies so they love the zombie theme and love the idea of being zombies themselves. They got the rules very quickly and because it is a dice game, this is one of the few games our 2 year old can play with our guidance where the physical part of the game he does on his own. (just pick up 3 dice and roll). This helps when playing a game as a family that sometimes is too complicated for him. I would recommend it for a mature 5 year old and certainly for 6 and 7 year olds and older who like games.Other: Because it is a dice game, my brother who has Cerebral Palsy and struggles with fine motor control loved this game, because it was so easy for him to do physically. (He won a bunch of the games.)Overall: This game rocks overall, the only con I had was a slight one, and people who play it once or see it played usually get excited to continue to play it. This has become a family favorite, it is also a game we know we can break out at any time, with any crowd anywhere and have fun with. We had a ton of fun, yelling and cheering on Christmas day at my uncles house, it was a blast (shotgun that is  )

Note: The drawstring bag shown in the pictures is not included. The pictures shown are for the basic set plus the two expansions, all of which neatly fit into the included plastic cup.Zombie Dice is a fun, interesting, brilliant, fast, and EASY game. With the two expansions, a total of eight possible permutations of the game is possible, allowing for a series of games with gradually expanding rules to be played.The drawsting bag is a necessity because mixing the dice in the cup is LOUD, obnoxiously and irritatingly loud. The cup is fantastic for storage but terrible for actual play.The rules sheets were poorly folded and easily ripped, so I scanned mine, printed them out double sided at appropriate sizes, and laminated and trimmed them so that they line the inside of the storage cup.If I were to add one thing to this set, it would be a Bag o' Brains from Twilight Creations. Of the twenty-five brain tokens. I would mark a '5' on nine of them. This would provide enough score tokens for a four-player game.

What a great game! I have an 8 year old who's just starting to get into horror stuff. She wanted this game because of the zombie on the front, but once we started playing the game, she fell in love with it. It's an easy game with simple rules that can be played quickly. You rack up brains (points) and if you get shot 3 times, you get none for that round. All other dice can be re-rolled. First person to score the right amount of points wins. I believe the instructions say first person to either 13 or 14 points, but my daughter and I have easily adapted this to a 30-50 point game when we were really in the mood to play.I would recommend this to any parent with kids over the age of 5. It's a great counting tool. The zombie drawing on the front is as graphic as anything in the game gets. The dice have a picture of a brain, one of a bang, and one of footprints. You could probably cover the cup they come in (and let your child draw on the cup), and tell your kids the pictures of brains are cotton candy or something. My daughter and I called brains "Points," Shotgun blasts "BANGS," and the footprints "Runners." Let your child decide what the brain shape looks like if you feel that "brains" is too graphic of a term for them.My daughter and I have had HOURS of fun with this time killer.

This is a really fun game. It’s a fast moving game & good for children as well as adults.

This game is extremely simple so it's easy to explain the rules to your friends, grandma, and 6-year-old cousin. Also its simplicity makes it pretty quick and fun rather long and boring.The game is nice for some friendly competition over things you normally wouldn't get competitive about (brains), though the cover of the container (the creepy zombie and blood) really doesn't set the tone for the style of the game; it's not scary or gross, just a creative point-based game system.The dice are pretty good quality and appealing in appearance, but the container is just thick cardboard so try not to get it wet and don't leave it around where it might get smashed or chewed on by a dog/baby.Its container actually, being compact as it is, makes it easy to carry the game around whenever you're going somewhere where you might need to kill time or just to a friend or family's house to play it with good company. It only takes perhaps 5-8 minutes to reach 13 brains with two players, 8-12 for 3, and up to 15 for 4 (that's just been my experience).Zombie Dice is a great, inexpensive investment.
