Oh My Brain

Picture a perfect summer night around the campfire - right up until zombie raccoons and brain-hungry bunnies burst from the bushes! In Oh My Brain, you fend off these undead critters by emptying your hand of cards before your “brain tokens” are gnawed away. Each player starts with six cards in hand, three tucked face-up in a personal “cemetery,” and a small stash of brains.

On your turn you must toss a card (or matching set) onto the central “campfire” that’s higher than the one on top. Zeros always reset the pile, 8s force the next player to go lower, and 11s earn you an extra turn; play certain extremes and you’ll roll a special die that might steal brains, swap piles or add more chaos. Can’t play? Lose a brain, clear the campfire, draw two cards, and stash one in your cemetery before restarting the climb. Empty your hand first and everyone else loses a brain for every card they still clutch. When someone’s out of brains, the camper with the most tokens is declared the lone survivor of this marshmallow-turned-monster night.

A great hand-management, ladder climbing card game for 2-5 players.
