Steve Jackson Games SJG 131313 Zombie Dice

Manchmal hat man keine Lust auf stundenlanges Regellesen oder komplexe Strategien. Manchmal will man einfach nur ein Zombie sein und Gehirne fressen. Genau dafür ist „Zombie Würfel“ perfekt. Das Prinzip ist genial simpel: Du bist ein Zombie. Du schüttelst den Becher, würfelst und willst so viele Gehirn-Symbole wie möglich sammeln. Aber Vorsicht: Bei drei Schrotflinten-Symbolen ist dein Zug vorbei und du verlierst alles. Es ist der klassische „Zock“-Moment: Riskiere ich noch einen Wurf oder sichere ich meine Punkte? Warum es rockt: Speed: Eine Runde dauert oft nur 10-15 Minuten. Perfekt als „Opener“ am Spieleabend oder beim Warten auf die Pizza. Lernkurve: In 30 Sekunden erklärt. Selbst Leute, die Brettspiele hassen, verstehen es sofort. Portabilität: Das ganze Spiel passt in den Würfelbecher. Ideal für den Urlaub, die Kneipe oder den Park. Fazit: Kein Spiel für Strategie-Füchse, aber der ungeschlagene König der „Absacker“-Spiele. Für unter 15 Euro ein absoluter No-Brainer (Wortspiel beabsichtigt).

３歳児でも解る超簡単ルールに、３～４人でやって１プレイ１０分程度ととっつき易さは抜群。 バースト系ダイスゲームなので運の要素が殆どだが、その辺はバカゲーなのでご容赦を。

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  )

It's a great game for all ages. We played it with our adult children and plan to play it with our primary school-age grandchildren. Also, taking it in the caravan to play on our travels.

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.
