ZOMBIE DICE RULES

Eat brains. Don't get shotgunned.

This game includes these rules, 13 dice, and a cup to hold them. You'll
need some way to keep score. Two or more can play.

The first player is the one who won the last game, or the one who can say
"Braaaaains!" with the most feeling.

Mmm! Brainnns!

On your turn, shake the cup, take three dice from it without looking, and
roll them. Each one is a human victim. The red dice are the toughest. Green
are easiest, and yellow are medium tough.

The dice have three symbols:

Brain -- you ate your victim's brain. Set your Brain dice to
your left.
Shotgun -- he fought back! Set your Shotgun dice to your
right.
Footprints -- your victim escaped. Keep your Feet dice in
front of you. If you choose to roll again, you will re-roll these
dice, along with enough new ones to bring the total to three.
If you rolled three shotguns, your turn is over. Otherwise,
you can choose to stop and score, or continue.

If you decide to stop, score 1 for each Brain you have, and put all the dice
back into the cup. It's the next player's turn.

If you choose to keep going, leave all your Feet on the table. Unless all
three of your dice are Feet, take enough random new dice from the cup to
total three, and roll again. Whenever you roll, you will roll three dice at a
time.

After you take new dice, you can't decide to stop . . . you have to roll.

Set aside Brains and Shotguns as above. If you are up to 3 Shotguns, your
turn is over and you score nothing. Otherwise, you can stop and score, or
take another roll . . .

Brrrains?

If you don't have three dice left in the cup, make a note of how many
Brains you have and put them all in the cup (keep the Shotguns in front of
you). Then continue.

BRAAAINS!!!

Play until someone reaches 13 Brains. Then finish the round. Whoever
has the most Brains at the end of that round is the winner. If there's a tie,
the leaders (only) play a tiebreaker round.

Not in the rule book to subtract the gunshot but actually this maybe a better mechanic if you want a longer game. And who says you can't make up a few rules. It's your game in the end.

You've made a mistake explaining how to play this game.  You do not subtract any brains when you get a shotgun.

[GuitarJacksonkvx]

this is how the game is not played, there is no subtracting. you get all the brains you roll.

[squishypanda]

if you get three gunshots even if you have more points than gunshots do you hwve to end your turn?

[sentino]

Remember Steve Jackson also brought us a game called Munchkin...

[TheMaf]

You're playing it wrong. You don't subtract any points for a gunshot.
