This Is An Official Plants Vs Zombies Board Game
The Plants Vs. Zombies board game is real. This is a prototype, essentially the rough draft of the game that the people at Screenlife are planning on making. I spotted it at Toy Fair 2011 where it was so new it wasn’t even in Screenlife’s printed brochure. It’ll be a 2-4 player game, with 80…

Back when I was a kid, I thought that toymakers were revolutionizing the game of Battleship when they made a version that had electronic sounds. But that innovation had nothing on Hasbro’s fall-scheduled Battleship Live. Not a video game, not a board game. It’s something else. There’s a Monopoly Live coming out later this year,…
