Zombie Dice

In THE WALKING DEAD™ führte eine weltweite Epidemie apokalyptischen Ausmaßes überall auf der Erde dazu, dass die Toten wieder auferstehen. Sie ernähren sich von den Lebenden und die Gesellschaft, wie wir sie kennen, existiert nicht mehr. Die Überlebenden müssen sich dem Chaos der postapokalyptischen Welt stellen und Bündnisse schließen, um ihr Überleben zu sichern. In einer Welt, die von den Toten beherrscht wird, müssen sie endlich anfangen zu leben. In dieser eigenständigen Version des Spiels BANG! bestimmen Vertrauen und Verrat über das Überleben jedes Einzelnen. Nur wer sich mit anderen verbündet, hat eine Chance, im Kampf ums Überleben die Oberhand zu behalten. Die Spieler schlüpfen in die Rollen der beliebten THE WALKING DEAD™-Charaktere und schließen sich einer der rivalisierenden Gruppen an. Doch wer ist wirklich vertrauenswürdig? Wie kann der Sieg und damit das nackte Überleben gesichert werden?   Spieleranzahl 4 - 7 Spieldauer 30 Minuten Alter ab 13 Jahre

In the Gloom card game, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but simple: you want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. Play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters, while trying to cheer your opponents' characters with marriages and other happy occasions. Printed on transparent plastic cards, Gloom features an innovative design by Keith Baker. Multiple modifier cards can be played on top of the same character card; since the cards are transparent, elements from previously played modifier cards either show through or are obscured by those played above them. You'll immediately and easily know the worth of every character, no matter how many modifiers they have. You've got to see (through) this game to believe it! The second edition includes sturdy new packaging, rules fixes, timing icons, reminder cards, and more; plus it's fully compatible with the first edition game and supplements. It's sure to delight even the most despondent Gloom fan!

Crews of 1 to 4 players take on the roles of wildfire fighters (Crew Boss, Spotter, Swamper, and Sawyer) with special abilities and roll dice on burning terrain tiles to match the combinations shown on the tiles. The more faces you roll, the better you fight the fire. Choose to cut Firebreaks, which prevent fires from being spread by wind gusts, or push your luck to reduce Flames and possibly even generate Reward Tokens. If you bust and fail to match at least 3 of the 6 symbols on the tile, the fire grows. Another option is to maneuver Vehicles (Air Tanker, Helicopter, and Brush Rig) to save the forest. Flame tokens are added at the end of each player’s turn by the draw of a Fire card, which can bring about light or strong wind gusts, increase the strength of the flames on certain tiles, and start fires. Too many Flame tokens will cause a tile to Scorch and be lost. Losing a terrain tile could also affect the game play. Some tiles are tied to crewmembers’ special abilities, while others help the firefighters and still others cause the fire to spread in unique ways. If 8 tiles or the Fire Camp Scorches, the game is over and the forest is lost. But if your intrepid crew can extinguish the fire, your team wins together. The press-your-luck mechanic with ratcheting rewards creates a lot of great tension, and the variety of ways to fight the fire makes for interesting choices. The modular tile layout and Fire cards bring high replayability to the game, and the beautiful acrylic Flame tokens provide an enticing table presence.
