In Zombie Dice, players take on the role of zombies competing to collect the most delicious brains. The game uses 13 custom dice, representing your unfortunate victims.

During your turn, you draw three dice from the box and roll them. Each die can show one of three results:

Brain – counts as a point at the end of your turn

Footsteps – the victim escaped and the die may be rolled again

Shotgun blast – a dangerous result

After each roll, you decide whether to bank the brains you have collected or push your luck by drawing additional dice to roll again. However, if you accumulate three shotgun blasts in a single turn, your turn immediately ends and you lose all the brains gained during that round.

Players take turns until someone reaches 13 brains, winning the game. A typical game lasts 10–20 minutes, and the rules can be explained in just a single round.
