Brains . . . brains . . .
Er, what?
Okay, sorry. A certain little squirrel is demanding I add some squirrel-friendly options.
So, brains . . . and watermelon . . .
and Dead of Winter!
Brains and watermelon are both pink and squishy, so it stands to reason they're equally terrifying.
Whoa, wait, Dead of Winter again?
Not quite. This time, Dead of Winter collides with another game called Flick 'em Up to bring us Flick 'em Up! Dead of Winter, which takes all the horror of having to survive a zombie apocalypse and adds . . . flicking.
Yes, flicking.
You flick a disk to move your characters across town, you flick a plastic knife to stab zombies, you flick a tiny bat to bludgeon zombies, and, possibly best of all, you flick Sparky the Wonderdog to lay waste to all zombie hordes in his way - because what would a Dead of Winter game be without this beloved, overpowered goofball? Everyone loves Sparky!
Ahem, I'm being interrupted again to amend the above statement to add that not everyone loves Sparky. Squirrels, I'm told, do not view zombies as particularly scary, but dogs are deemed quite creepy.
In this game you set up a miniature town you'll be navigating in order to gather supplies and fight zombies. Put away the chairs for this one, because you'll be on your feet and maneuvering around the table to line up that perfect shot, either to move yourself or to use one of the many weapons at your disposal. My personal favorite is the shotgun, which has you flicking three tiny disks at once in order to spray destruction across the enemy. That enemy could be the zombies, or it could be another player, as this game has setups for different maps and scenarios that allow for cooperative or competitive play. Either way, the town is full of zombies ready to chow down on your delicious, pink, watermelony brains!
