## Description
Get ready for a wild Old West adventure with a peculiar zombie twist! In "The Great Brain Robbery," you and your fellow zombie line cooks are tired of sharing just one brain. The solution? Rob a speeding train packed with them! This is the fourth game in the Friedey's series and the first Cheapass Games title to come in a sturdier box. The 'board' is made up of train cars that constantly change, growing and shrinking as the game progresses. The mission is clear: find the most intelligent brain before the train comes to a halt and, of course, defend your prize from other zombies who'd rather fight than think. Featuring illustrations by the talented Brian Snoddy, this game uniquely and amusingly blends the Wild West with horror. It's an experience full of twists and laughs, perfect for those who enjoy games with an unusual theme and mechanics that keep you on the edge of your seat. Language dependency is moderate, so having a translated copy of the cards can greatly enhance immersion. Hop aboard this railway madness and prove who has the best (or most stolen) brain!
