About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of the brain-eating madness of Zombie Dice, get ready because the school bus has arrived to shake things up! The 'School Bus' expansion doesn't bring complex boards or hundreds of cards, but rather a single 12-sided die that completely changes the hunt's dynamics. Imagine the scene: you've found a bus packed with teenagers. For a zombie, this is basically an all-you-can-eat buffet of nutritious, fresh brains, since these kids have been studying hard and have sharp minds. But hold on, it's not all banquets!
These students aren't just sitting around waiting to be devoured; they are armed to the teeth with shotguns. While you try to secure your dinner, you might end up taking a blast to the face, getting run over by the bus while chasing it, or even worse, being hit by multiple shotguns at once. It's the classic 'push your luck' gameplay: do you keep rolling the die to grab more brains, or do you stop before the situation turns into a total disaster and you lose everything you've earned in the round?
The great charm here is the simplicity. The expansion maintains the essence of the original game — fast, chaotic, and funny — but adds layers of risk that make every turn more tense. It's perfect for those who want to breathe new life into quick gaming sessions with friends, bringing about absurd situations and laughs when someone 'eats' a shotgun blast instead of a brain. Just remember one crucial detail: this is an accessory. You need the original Zombie Dice base game to use this die, as it serves to boost the experience rather than create a brand new game from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Can I play with only the School Bus expansion?
No! It's just an additional die. You need the original Zombie Dice game to play.
How many people can play?
The game is super flexible, supporting from 2 to practically any number of people (BGG mentions up to 99!).
Is it hard to learn?
Not at all! If you already know how to play Zombie Dice, just add the new die and follow the 'push your luck' logic.
How long does a game last?
Very fast, usually between 10 and 20 minutes. Great as a game-night opener.
What's in the box?
Basically the school bus themed 12-sided die and the instructions on how to use it.
