Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

First of all, the company name's a misnomer - it would be more accurate were it called "ZombieDollar Uncreative".  Making a zombie deck at this stage, and one that's as plain-vanilla as this one, is the furthest thing from creative I can think of.

Judging from their goal, the decks are being made by either MPC or someone similar.  This doesn't bode as well for the decks being worth what's being asked.  It's $13.01/8 GBP to ship within the UK or $16.30/10 GBP to ship to anywhere else.  Nothing about this deck tells me it's worth either price.

It's not even like the artwork is bad - it actually isn't.  It's just that there's been a glut of zombie decks, the print run most likely won't be of the quality people prefer in terms of stock and coating and there's nothing by way of extra features to justify such a high price for what in the end is a deck that doesn't stand out from the crowd.
