Review on Steve Jackson Games SJG 131313 by Marc Zitnik

Looking for a Farkle-like dice game (but faster than Farkle)? Zombie Dice is the answer! It's a super fast and super simple game, perfect for a 5-10 minute break from a heavier meal. The player begins by taking three dice from the container and rolling them. Ultimately, you need brains (the first zombie to roll 13 brains wins!). It's entirely possible to throw shotguns (three shots and you're out!) or footsteps (victims who escaped - and give you another chance for food for thought!). With each roll you take a risk: you can repeat steps to get more brains. However, the role also increases the risk of being shot! Zombie Dice is easy to learn and has a ridiculous/funny theme. It's a nice twist on dice games like Yahtzee and Farkle. Like these, it's also more of a game of chance than strategy, and it can be over in a few minutes if anyone gets upset! (Of course, you can always increase the number of brains to make the game last longer!) The only gripe is the cylindrical cardboard container; It would be nice if it was made out of plastic or something harder that would hold up better over time.
