About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for the most hellish job ever! In 'Give Me the Brain!', you and your friends are zombies working in a seriously sinister fast-food joint. The catch? Brainpower is scarce, and there's only one brain to go around for everyone. Who will manage to use this precious commodity to complete their tasks and escape this mess?

This card game is pure hustle and hilarity. You'll use action points to move, grab cards, and, of course, try to snatch someone else's brain. The auction mechanic comes into play as you bid for the single available brain, adding a layer of tension and negotiation. Hand management is essential for planning your moves and not falling behind in the race against time and hunger (for brains, of course!).

With quick rounds lasting no more than 15 minutes and the ability to play with up to 8 people, 'Give Me the Brain!' is perfect for livening up any gathering. The complexity is low, ideal for those who want something light and fun, but with that strategic twist that makes us think. It's the kind of game that entertains both board game newbies and veterans alike, especially if you enjoy a zombie theme with a dash of dark humor. Prepare for plenty of chaos and laughter as you try to secure your piece of gray matter!
