Risk: Plants vs. Zombies (2013)

About this game

A mob of fun-dead zombies are invading the quaint town of Brainsborough, while the pea-packing plants branch out for a battle of suburban domination! Risk: Plants vs. Zombies is a two-player-only version of the decades-old Risk game, with one player controlling the plants of the wildly successful Plants vs. Zombies digital game and the other controlling the zombies. The game features a double-sided game board and three play modes: mission objectives, tower defense, and total domination.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
