Zombie Kidz Evolution

Don’t worry – evolution is not in the game at all – it just means it is the sequel to Zombie Kidz

Personally, I don’t see what OTHER people see in Zombies… but they seem to be the big thing in games (I suppose they are a good alternative to fighting off aliens). If you are OK with fighting off Zombies, then here is a very interesting Cooperative game! (so all players are working together to beat of the Zombies). The unique thing about this game is that the rules gradually change as you play … there are secret envelopes that you open when you win that grant you more super powers etc.

Railroad Ink Challenge

This is a roll the dice and write on your personal map game that can be played by any number of players – just print a map for each player and all players share the same dice roll for each round (excellent for play by video chat such as with Zoom or Google Meet).

There are two different base games – GREEN and YELLOW. Both have exactly the same base game but with different special “expansion” dice (which I have never used yet).

=> YELLOW edition (Board Game Geek)

Overview Explanation of the base game – she includes the GOAL CARDS, but they are not needed to play the game, and the game can be more fun without them (less thinking) Note that even experts make mistakes – she missed one error in her example of scoring a final game:
