In Resident Evil, a deadly virus has caused the dead to rise and infect any living thing they encounter! Fleeing to a mysterious mansion, you must gather any materials you can find to protect yourself and fight for your survival against a legion of infected beings!

The RESIDENT EVIL DBG brings the story to life in a game of strategy where players construct their card decks while they play. Choose one of your favorite characters from RESIDENT EVIL such as: Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, or Albert Wesker among others. Players start with only the most basic of items and weapons. As the game progresses, players build their arsenal with additional Weapons, Ammunition, Action or Item cards to customize their deck and improve their ability in defeating “the Infected”! Your deck will be your lifeline to survival. How will you survive the zombie outbreak?

The RESIDENT EVIL DBG will consist of 250 playing cards, 3 different game modes (Story, Mercenary and Versus) and hundreds of possible scenarios within each mode for unlimited replay value. No two games will ever be the same!

  • Story mode is the main version of the game where players must race to claim the best weapons, items, and ammunition before others get to it first. Quick thinking and a good instinct will help you survive the Mansion and be the one to escape to safety.
  • Mercenary mode is similar to Story mode but this mode rewards the players that take the offensive. Players must prove their skills by defeating as many zombies as they can in a limited amount of time. This mode can be played in teams.
  • Versus mode removes “the Infected” from the game and pits the human characters against each other in a battle for dominance. Players must watch their back as they attempt to defeat each other while staying alive themselves. Watch out because you may find that players are not as merciful as “the Infected”!

Players take on the role of one of the Heroes of Resident Evil. They start with a deck of 10 cards, which consist of Weapons and Ammo. Players must use their resources to obtain more powerful Weapons, Ammo, Items, and Action Cards that they add to their deck. As you progress in the game your Deck will become stronger and more efficient. You must use the cards in your deck to fight the "Infected" creatures which awards you Decorations . To win the game you must defeat more "Infected" creatures then your opponents, but the game only ends when the strongest "Infected" creatures is killed. Once he is killed, the player that has gained the most Decorations wins the game.

Ammo cards are used to power your Weapons as well as purchase new cards. Weapon cards are used to battle the "Infected" creatures. Stronger weapons require more ammo. Item cards allow you to strengthen and Heal your Character.

Action cards give you additional actions that you can take during your turn, such as drawing more cards or improving the power of your weapons.

For 1-4 players. 30 minutes.

Resident Evil is a deck-building game based on the very popular video game series. Each player starts with a meager ten card deck (a small amount of ammo, a couple knives, and a pistol). On their turn players choose to purchase new cards giving them better ammo or weapons and/or to fight the zombie horde. With three modes of play, several characters to take the role of, and many cards to swap in and out of each game, Resident Evil is easy to learn, difficult to master, and provides ever varying adventures for one to four players to enjoy.

Dark, intense and very true to the franchise the Resident Evil Deck Building Game is sure to be a great choice for any avid deck building player.

While there are a great many deck builders out there these days, Resident Evil sets its self apart with second to none art work, comprehensive and logical rules as well as three different game modes!

Similar to other deck builders players sort through and purchase a wide variety of weapons, action cards and herbs to help them battle various creatures that lurk within the Mansion, (a deck of cards akin to Thunderstones Dungeon) whenever a player slays the most powerful creature within the Mansion the game is over and players count up their victory points.

Resident Evil fans will be pleased to know that this game features monsters, creatures, weapons and art styles from all Resident Evil games, making this an instant collectible.

Resident Evil is also one of a handful of deck builders that supports not only single and standard multiplayer, but also comes with instructions on a player versus player mode.

Well if you like the Resident Evil video games franchise then your really gonna love the deck building game. Choose from Resident Evil charaters from 1 - 5 such as awesome Leon, big man on campus Chris, hottness Jill Valentine, to even being "that guy" Wesker himself as well as a few other characters! In this game not only are you fighting off zombies but your not alone. Your playing against another player or have a party of four to defeat the infect and level up your charater skills as you go, using a system called Decorations. But we warned when you knock down a door you don't what will come out of it. With the ablity to buy weapons, ammo, action moves, to the great marchant himself. So you can either save your money and out buy your oppents or out zombie hunt them and use ablities to help yourself or prevent your oppenets from winning.

I have to say playing with my friends and after coming to an agreement in story, mercanies, and veruse mode; we were ready to take on the real deal baby! So take hold your pistol and two knife, rashion those 10 things of ammo and get ready for a fun night.

To start off I would give this game a 4 star overview in my opinion. Like most games it does have some drawbacks but all in all this is a fantastic deck building game. I personally would recommend this game to deck building game lovers. It has the style of one of its predecessors Dominion but with the option of combat like Ascension. You can randomly start out with cards or go by the book, depending on the difficulty you will be playing on. I feel in love with it my first time playing and picked up a copy the week it came out. For the most part the first few turns are pretty straight forward and all players are just trying to buy more ammunition, which is what weapons use for combat and what players use as money to buy support from the playing field. Resident Evil brought all the gore and violence you know from the games and made a solid deck building game. I will be honest and note that this game was confusing to get the hang of but once you get it it’s a piece of cake. And like most card games it might come down to the luck of the draw at the last second to beat your competitors. The game comes with 10 characters that come from the game series and all the baddies that go with them. The box has neat storage for the cards and the cards will not get all messed up if you shake it around.

All in all I would point anyone in this game’s direction if you liked Dominion or Ascension.

If you have any questions on this or any other game please feel free to call one of our store’s, during business hours, for answers and tips. Thank you and Game On!
