Who would love this: Kids who love cooperative game with exciting background story!
We are BIG fans of Zombie Kidz Evolution - so imagine our excitement when we received the brand new Zombie Teenz Evolution - Scorpion Masque ! This time, a new group of brave Teenz must defend their town against invading zombies - It’s chaotic. It’s cooperative. It’s ridiculously fun! Thank you Let's Play Games for providing a copy.
Why I love ❤️ it:
(1) Collect 4 Crates + Battle Zombie Hordes To Win
Instead of locking gates like in Zombie Kidz Evolution, players now travel around the town square collecting supply crates from surrounding buildings and returning them to the central base - all while battling zombie hordes. Collect 4 crates before the town is completely overrun and you win! Each turn, you roll the dice to see where zombies appear. A zombie pops up in the sewer or shamble forward toward the nearest building. If they enter a building, it becomes “overrun.” Place an overrun tile on it, and that horde leapfrogs clockwise to the next building, continuing until it finds an empty one. If the white die shows a ?, you draw an event card - and most of them are bad (all zombies advance… more zombies emerge… chaos everywhere!). Players get two actions per turn: move, attack, or transfer a crate. But here’s my favourite twist - moving crates requires teamwork - You must hand a crate to another player or receive one from them.
(2) Brain Stickers To Track Progress + Secret Envelopes
Every game (win or lose) earns you a brain sticker in the rulebook to progress toward opening secret envelopes. Achievements unlock trophies, badges, and comic panels that expand the story. Who doesn’t love stickers?!
(3) Legacy Style Game - New Powers/ Characters/ Rules/ Plot Twists
As a legacy-style game, certain milestones let you open numbered envelopes revealing new powers, characters, rules, and plot twists (some helpful… some not!). Without spoiling too much — there’s even a dog that can move independently and attack zombies. Opening envelopes becomes almost more exciting than the game itself!
(4) Fantastic Components - Foldable Board + Amazing Artwork
The components are fantastic. The foldable board is sturdy, the artwork is bright and bold, and the standees are full of personality. I love the diverse heroes - including a Teenz in a wheelchair - all equipped with awesome zombie-fighting gear. It’s got classic zombie-movie vibes, but in a kid-friendly, giggle-worthy way.
