Description
Eat brains. Don't get shotgunned.
In Zombie Dice, you are a zombie. You want braaains – more brains than any of your zombie buddies. The 13 custom dice are your victims. Push your luck to eat their brains, but stop rolling before the shotgun blasts end your turn! Whoever collects 13 brains first wins. Each game takes 10 to 20 minutes and can be taught in a single round.
Each turn, you take three dice from the box and roll them. A brain symbol is worth one point at the end of the round, while footsteps allow you to reroll this particular dice. Shotgun blasts on the other hand are rather bad, cause if you collect three shotgun blasts during your turn, it is over for you and you get no points. After rolling three dice, you may decide if you want to score your current brain collection or if you want to push your luck by grabbing new dice so you have three again and roll once more.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action Point Allowance — Each survivor gets three actions per turn to perform various actions like moving, searching, trading, opening doors, or attacking.
- Combat (Melee & Ranged) — Players can attack zombies in the same space using melee weapons or from a distance using ranged weapons. Attack success depends on dice rolls and weapon damage matching zombie requirements.
- Damage Levels — Zombies have different damage level requirements for weapons, with walkers/runners needing level 1, fatties level 2, and abominations level 3.
- Danger Level — A danger bar tracks the zombie attention created by survivors, influencing the difficulty of spawned zombies.
- Door Interaction — Doors can be opened using items or weapons. Some items create noise when opening doors, indicated by a symbol.
- Equipment cards — Players can find and use equipment cards, which are placed on their identity card in different slots for immediate use or carrying.
- Experience and Leveling Up — Defeating zombies grants experience points, which allow survivors to unlock new abilities as they progress through different colored zones on their character card.
- Extra Activation Card — This card grants all zombies of a specific type an extra activation (attack and/or move).
- Item Combination — Certain items can be combined to form a single, more powerful item (e.g., rifle + scope = sniper rifle).
- Item Management — Players can reorganize their inventory and trade items with other survivors in the same space as a single action.
- Line of sight — Line of sight rules dictate how far players and zombies can see, with restrictions when inside buildings or seeing diagonally.
- Manhole Cover Card — This card spawns zombies at manhole cover locations on the map if a survivor is present in that space.
- Modular board — Double-sided tiles are used to lay out the landscape, with specific tiles chosen based on the scenario diagram.
- Movement — Moving from one space to another costs one action. Moving out of a space with zombies costs an additional action per zombie.
- Noise generation — Certain actions, like smashing doors or making noise intentionally, generate noise tokens that affect zombie behavior.
- Objective Collection — Some scenarios require players to collect objective tokens.
- objective tokens — Some scenarios require objective tokens that players need to interact with.
- Runner Zombie Behavior — Runners can attack and then move, or move and then attack, potentially taking two actions per turn.
- scenario play — The game comes with a variety of different scenarios, and players pick one from the base game or download free ones from the designers.
- Searching — Players can search in a building space with no zombies to draw an equipment card.
- Spawning Points — Zombies enter the game from spawning point tokens located on the board.
- Special Zombie Spawning Rules — Fatties spawn with additional walkers, and if an abomination cannot be spawned (due to limits), a fatty and walkers are spawned instead.
- survivor abilities — Survivors have unique abilities that can be unlocked by gaining experience.
- Targeting priority — When using ranged weapons in a space with multiple targets, there's a specific targeting order: survivors, walkers, fatties/abominations, and finally runners.
- Wound System — Survivors take wound cards when attacked by zombies. Accumulating two wound cards eliminates a survivor.
- Zombie Movement — Zombies move towards survivors they can see, prioritizing the noisiest group if multiple groups are visible. They take the shortest route.
- Zombie Spawning — New zombies spawn from designated points based on zombie cards, with the type and number of zombies determined by the highest danger level reached by any survivor.
- Zombie Turn — The zombie turn involves attacks from zombies adjacent to survivors, followed by movement towards survivors or noise, and then spawning new zombies.

- Hi, welcome to Watch It Played. My name is Rodney Smith.
- In our series, we take a game, we show you how it's played, and then over the following episodes, we actually play the game.
- We're going to be playing the game Zombie Side. This is a cooperative game, so we'll all be working together.
- Believe me, you don't want to get stuck with the pan.
- The trick is this bar here is actually the danger bar and it tracks the kind of zombie attention you are creating for your party of survivors.
- It's a lot to take in. If there's things you didn't understand, don't worry about it. Just ask me your questions in the YouTube comments below.

- basically to to say to my wife um the time I spend been doing this series makes sense for our family because there is some financial gain for it
- it's so nice to get something from a fellow gamer because of course there's no obligation there they just want to share that with us and that is a wonderful thing

Quotes (from this video)
- I consider myself a board game media junkie anytime I have spare time I'm usually watching a video review or a walkth through or I am listening to a podcast
- he does such a wonderful job of presenting how a game works in his video he couples that with excellent video work and then all the editing that goes into that I just it's it takes a lot of time and effort he does them so well it just I always walk away understanding how the game works
- there's nothing pushy about it I always walk away knowing exactly what he thinks about the game and I never feel like um he's closed the door on on what I should think about the game either
- basically on the board game geek forums there is a a section that's that's dedicated to the geek of the week and they give a thread each week to a new board game geek member well not not necessar a new member but to a different one each week
- the first serious game that I remember playing oddly enough was a war game actually which surprises me because I don't really have war games in my collection today
- I think I must have somewhere along the line Associated what I perceived to be all this incredible fun tied into these very thick complex rules
- the Box said something like um you know would take you 2 hours to 2 months to play depending on what you played
- I came to realize that I'm not going to be able to teach this game anyone who's going to want to play it with me
- I wonder if that's part of why I get so much meaningful satisfaction out of making these videos I do about teaching games some of them complex and feeling um connected to the other people that I'm you know through online teaching these games too
- This was it for me um when I saw this game on Board Game Geek I got excited because there was the complexity yes there was the complexity there but all of these components and were really goodlooking and and dripping with theme
- I mean this is this is what I was looking for if you will this was the The Thing I needed to get me back and interested in this hobby really full force
- I didn't really realize that games like this existed and that got me going to board game geek all the time
- I really enjoyed watching his videos and it was very inspiring to me it made me think this this is what I would want to do
- I have this I I say it's almost an irrational aversion to giving my opinion about games over the Internet because I never mind it when anyone else does it like that's that's great I don't always agree with all the opinions I hear but I enjoy hearing other Gamers opinions about games but I think on a personal level so I'm not critiquing anyone else who does this but just on a personal level I struggle with the idea if I tell someone A Game's really great and they go and buy it and they hate it I'm going to feel like I cause them to waste money
- This was it I was now getting to play games outside the four walls of my own home with other people they were continuing to play with me and they seem to be enjoying it and I was really enjoying it
- what surprised me believe me it was a surprise was that other people seemed to enjoy watching along with us
- I think that's one of the one of the things that really got on to me early was instead of having just inviting a few people to join us invite everyone to join in people can leave their comments and vote for what ideas they want best that way everyone can feel like they're contributing to the gameplay
- really we just wanted to complement the other great review videos that we were enjoying ourselves
- it's really helped shape me as a gamer it's helped me evolve and and it's certainly made my enjoyment of this hobby all all the more meaningful
- that's really the big part of this hobby that I enjoy the most is that interaction
- thanks Joel thanks for this opportunity to be the geek of the week it's just another extension of being able to reach out to more Gamers and and meet them and and share that passion for this hobby

positive
Pros
- compact, quick to learn and play
- appealing art style
- puzzle-like card placement with strategic decisions
- solo-friendly and affordable
- small package for packaging and portability
Cons
- heavily luck-driven; outcomes depend on card order
- rules are not 100% clear in places (ambiguous order of actions)
- low player agency due to randomness
- possible early stalemates if no feasible feed/placement
- unclear or variable outcomes depending on interpretation of some rules
Thematic elements

Comparison games
- Moon Colony
- Bloodbath
- A Wild Venture
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

- deck/top-card selection — you draw top cards from decks and decide which to flip to room or zombie and which to keep
- diner capacity and placement rules — the number of open doors limits how many zombies can be active; misplacement can cause loss

- End conditions — the game ends when a deck is emptied or you cannot place a room or feed a zombie
- Multi-use cards — each card has a room on one side and a zombie on the other; you flip between them to determine active elements
- neighbor interaction — cards cannot overlap on the table; layout must be compact and non-overlapping
- overlap restriction — cards cannot overlap on the table; layout must be compact and non-overlapping
- Room Placement — place rooms on a grid-like layout aligning doors to create a functional diner map
- tool-based feeding — to feed and remove a zombie, you must have the correct combination of tools (e.g., spatulas and hammer) shown on the cards
- zombie effects — zombies can have effects (e.g., stench) that constrain how you discard or place rooms
