Tricky Track
Place counters on the squares numbered 2 to 12. Roll two dice and add to decide which player moves forward one square. The game should be played several times and discussion about the fairness of the game encouraged.
Fast figuring
Using the number cards from an ordinary pack, deal out five cards to each player. Turn up one more card to reveal the 'target number'. Players race to use their five cards and any of the four operations (+, -, x, / ) to form a statement that results in the target number. The first player to do so wins a point. If, after 3 minutes, no one can find a solution, the players show their hands for checking, then cards are shuffled and play continues.
Zombie Board Game
It is called Zombie Board Game because the zombie represents the biggest single threat to the players.
Landing on a zombie space sends a player back to start.
-
Roll the dice and count ahead according to the number that shows up.
-
When a player lands on a space, he/she finds the value of ‘X’ on the space within a determined time.
-
The instructions on the other spaces are pretty straightforward.
-
Lose a turn : the player loses a turn to play.
-
Go forward
-
Go backward
-
The zombie is the space no one wants to land on. It is a killer. Landing on the zombie sends the player back to start. Restarting is no fun when your opponent is advancing.
-
Trade Places : This can be good or bad. The player who lands on this space swaps with the opponent. Trading places with an opponent who is ahead in the game is good. Trading places with an opponent who is behind is no fun.
-
Finally the last pitfall is towards the end of the game. To finish the game, the player must get the exact number on the dice to END.
