About the game
What you do in a play session
Mmm… Brains! is a fast‑paced, noisy game that puts you and up to four friends in the shoes of brain‑hungry zombies. Each round starts with everyone rolling the custom dice; the immediate goal is to snatch as many brain tokens as possible from the table. Once the brain pool is empty, the game shifts to a "steal" phase: you roll the dice again and, depending on the result, you can force opponents to drop the brains they've collected. The last zombie still holding any brains wins, so the strategy balances aggressive grabbing with careful defense. Components are thematically rich – five dice with hungry‑mouth symbols, player cards that give each zombie its identity, and fifty sculpted brain miniatures that add a tactile charm. The rules are straightforward, perfect for a 15‑minute playtime, yet the mix of dice luck and quick decisions creates tension and plenty of laughs. Designed for 3‑5 players, the game has a light weight (1.06/5), making it approachable for beginners and great for casual get‑togethers or parties. If you enjoy dice‑driven games with a light horror vibe and a dash of macabre humor, Mmm… Brains! will have you rolling dice (and brains) nonstop.
