Resident Evil Deck Building Game

Fight the Infected from the Resident Evil mansion by building a deck of weapons, ammunition and items.

Published by

Resident Evil's mansion nightmare as a deckbuilder. A deadly virus has raised the dead, you have fled to a mysterious mansion, and you start with nothing but the most basic items and weapons. Pick a favorite character, such as Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine or Albert Wesker, and fight the Infected while you add Weapons, Ammunition, Action and Item cards to your deck. Your deck is your lifeline, and the better you build it, the longer you survive. A 2010 deck-building game based on the video-game series, with team-based play and a solo mode, for one to four players, about thirty minutes, from age thirteen.

Who it's for

You know the video games, like zombie horror and want a deck-builder that is short and approachable.

Not for you if…

You expect a deep survival-horror campaign or have no taste for zombies. This is a quick card game.

Vibe's take

Tense and brisk. Your deck starts weak, grows teeth as you buy better cards, and every infected enemy tests whether you built the right mix.
