Zombie Dice

To set up the game, give each player a scoreboard to track their points, though any paper or device works for extra players. Place all 13 dice inside the included bag. Pass the bag and a marker to the starting player, who is typically the person who won the last game or someone chosen randomly.

The main objective is to act as a hungry zombie trying to collect as many brains as possible by rolling dice while avoiding human victims who fight back with shotguns.

On your turn, you draw three random dice from the bag and roll them. Green dice are weak humans, yellow are tougher, and red are the strongest. Brain symbols mean you score, shotguns mean you are wounded, and footprints mean the victim escaped and must be re-rolled alongside new dice.

You can choose to stop after any roll and score one point for each brain symbol you have accumulated that turn, crossing them off on your scoreboard. However, if you ever accumulate three shotgun symbols, your turn ends immediately and you score zero points.

The game continues in a clockwise rotation until at least one player reaches 13 or more brains. Once that happens, the round finishes so every player gets an equal number of turns, and the player with the highest score wins.
