I have to say I was a little surprised this isn’t just some reskin of the RISK World map with Plants vs Zombies flair added. But if you check out the single photo below you’ll see that in RISK: Plants vs Zombies there’s actually a two sided board for your to play one, one the traditional Plants vs Zombies experience and the other a weird misshapen map of sorts which is actually the map for the town of Brainsborough if you can believe that. So there’s three ways to play Risk: Plants vs Zombies and they both need and support only two players.
That’s right there’s no more warring family disputes over who owns the US and who’s taking Russia because it’s just you can one other person one looking for total brain domination and the other looking to stop the pandemic. The three modes of play are Tower Defense. Mission Objective and Total Domination. They don’t elaborate but tower defense has to be normal Plants vs Zombies on the grid board side, Total Domination has to be the Brainsborough side and Mission Objective might be either or. You can already pick it up at the Plants vs Zombies Store for $30 and it is also coming to places like Amazon and more.
PRESS RELEASE
ANNOUNCING RISK: Plants vs. Zombies Collector’s Edition
As if fighting zombies with plants wasn’t risky enough!
Seattle, WA. (September 30, 2013) Dig into fun-dead action as PopCap Games’
plants and zombies make their tabletop gaming debut in RISK®: Plants vs. Zombies™ Collector’s Edition. Produced by USAopoly under license from Hasbro, Inc. and in conjunction with PopCap, this all new experience takes the hilarious characters from the mega-hit video game Plants vs. Zombies into an awesome tabletop battle for suburban domination!
This completely customized take on two-player RISK offers a double-sided gameboard and three head-to-head ways to play: Tower Defense, Mission Objective, or Total Domination. With a detailed map of the original town of Brainsborough on one side and the familiar Plants vs. Zombies backyard from the video game on the other, players opt to be plants or zombies and then pick their battlefield. Fighting for their very survival, players engage in skirmishes, battle for three different victory conditions, and play the classic RISK game mode, vying to take over the whole board.
In this mulchifying take on the traditional RISK game, armies have been replaced by Peashooters and Threepeaters who attempt to prevent the consumption of human brains everywhere by the ever-approaching Brown Coat Zombies and Zombie Mobs.
With all-new Plants vs. Zombies content and locations, combined with easy-to-learn, fast-paced two-player action, RISK: Plants vs. Zombies Collector’s Edition is a whole new way to have fun while protecting brains. Or eating them.
