PLAYED FOR YOU

Zombeasts

pets on NIGHTLY prowl

90 cards feature one zombie pet each, marked with a point value and a background color - white is a joker - plus a quarter moon in one of the lower corners. You begin with three cards and, in turn, place one card on the table to begin a full moon or to continue a moon, at any time only one moon per color and player. Jokers can be added to a moon or swapped for a card from another player’s moon. A complete full moon is set aside for victory points and you can start on a new moon of this color. For a full moon of four different animals you may set aside a card from the open stock for victory points. If you place identical animals into a moon, you may place a second card. After playing a card, you draw as many cards as indicated by the dark number of the animal you played, in any mixture from the open stock of three cards, from the draw pile or from the hand of another player, but only one card per player.

If you cannot use any card from your hand, you set those cards aside for penalty points and draw three new cars. When the draw pile is empty, all other players but the currently active one have another turn to complete moons. Then the player with most points wins. In the Master Version all animals have a favorite toy with special abilities, which you can use as an alternative to using a Zombeast Attack, that is, placing another card for placing identical animals.

Well, the topic is nice and the animals are cutely horrible in this set collecting game best geared for beginners as there are - unless you play the Master Version - only to tactical alternatives - going for identical animals or different animals.
