What to Expect
You play legendary princesses in a fairy-tale world overrun by zombie princes, villagers and creatures. Games play out over four rounds, each with a special rule that changes dynamics and keeps play fresh. Players bid on how many zombie hordes they will eliminate and use unique player powers to gain flexibility or information. The structure is a spin on classic trick-taking games like Spades, with added Events and team play.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for experienced groups and fans of trick-taking mechanics; age minimum is 15. With a 60-minute playtime it fits a game night, and prior experience with bidding and trick-taking helps with quicker setup and smoother play.
How It Works
Core mechanic is Trick-taking combined with Events and Variable Player Powers; each round players bid on expected results and then play tricks to meet those bids. The game supports Team-Based Game play so rounds can be team or individual-based. Four rounds with distinct special rules shift priorities and strategies across a game.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Ted Alspach, Zombie Princess is a sequel/spin to Rebel Princess and adapts Spades-style trick-taking to a zombie-fairy-tale setting. The mix of team play, variable powers and round-specific rules provides variety over repeated plays. Family/series tags indicate links to fairy-tale themes and the 'Rebel Princess' series.
