▪️ Bézier Games announced a few new card games for release this June. The first called Zombie Princess. A trick-taking card game with variable player powers, and is the follow-up to the successful Rebel Princess. For 3-6 players and takes about 30-60 minutes to play.
From BGG:
As legendary princesses in Zombie Princess, players compete individually or as teams! Each princess is armed with a unique player power, giving her or her teammate much-needed flexibility or information. Zombie Princess takes place over four rounds, and each round has a special rule, making each game feel fresh and unique. Princesses bid on how many hordes of zombies they will eliminate… er… save each round. Will you eradicate the resident evil of the land, or will this be the dawn of the dead?
▪️ Haunted Mouse is another card game releasing soon from Bézier Games designed by Jonathan Cox. This plays 2-5 players in about 20-45 minutes.
