W00t! The first two review copies of Zombie Cafe get mailed tomorrow!

I would imagine that the earliest a review could possibly see print would be 3-4 months, so we'll see what happens. Which is partly why I'll be hoping for some word of mouth referrals (nudge-nudge, Wuglet and others!) and hopefully some convention sales. Come to think of it, I wonder how much an ad would cost in the Phoenix SF/F convention newsletter would cost? But that's getting far ahead of myself.

You can read about Zombie Cafe on my web site at www.SpareBrainsGames.com, I'll be posting an image of the envelope hopefully tomorrow.

I think it's time to install the shopping cart buttons on my web site. At $20 with shipping, what a deal! Order now for the holidays! ;-)

What a coincidence (I know, there is only the illusion of coincidence), yesterday we finally managed to play it! :)

It was tinchen, exilkobold, finsterstern and me, and it was pretty funny. The rules are easy enough to understand and apply them right in the first round and the cards are just too funny. :D
Only finsterstern was a bit miffed at first because he didn't win the first game (I did ^^) and didn't like it but then he won the second round and all was fine again. Yes, he is like that. ;)

We wondered if it's really prossible to modify a brain right into the negative spectrum... A 2 on the dice or several + modifier can still be successful. We just tried and tinchen ended up having one brain with -6 quality points (it was her last one).

And now some quotes:
exilkobold: "My brain hurts!"
finsterstern: "But if you don't give that modifier to wuglet, she'll win!"
tinchen: "Yeah, and if I do give that to wuglet, you'll win." *gives modifier to him*
finsterstern is trying to sell his last brain, rolls a 2: "Well that's some total waste of dice. XD"

I'll ask exilkobold and finsterstern to do some advertising in their game-community. :)

LOL! Thanks, I've been waiting to hear if you liked it! And yes, brains can go negative. Last year at a convention I was playing with some friends and one won on a highly negative brain by rolling snake eyes.

Do you think it would help if I got a German translation done? There are a ton of Germans in Alamogordo, we have a site of the German Air Force here. Theoretically I could get both the rules and cards translated, at the least I should be able to get the rules done.

I'm totally bouncy to play it again, it was really funny. :)

Well I guess it's always better to have more than one language available but at least in Germany there are a lot of people who buy English games too. Especially young adults and kids do that, e.g. these blasted Yugi Oh! trading cards are mostly in English here (only the starter kits are in German).

If you have the opportunity, take it. :)
