Plants Vs Zombies Board Game

Well according to Kotaku Australia (who hasn’t changed to the HORRIBLE new look that Gawker sites run on) there is a Plants vs Zombies board game coming out soon! An officially licensed one at that!

Apparently a company called Screenlife has teamed up with PopCap to release the official board game of Plants vs Zombies. Shown above is the prototype that was displayed at Toy Fair 2011! It’s apparently to be be:

It’ll be a 2-4 player game, with 80 zombie card, 40 plant cards and a batch of game boards on which each player will be able to place place plants and battle zombies. I was given a quick look at how the game will play, with card flips and dice rolls determining which zombies need to be placed on the board next and which plant tiles you can place against them. Players will be able to mess with their opponents’ lawns, making this more of a competitive game than the PvZ so many of us have played on iPhone, iPad, computers and wherever else.

The game is scheduled for a fall 2011 release, at which time the prototype boards and box you see here will be replaced with much snazzier stuff.
