We return to where it all began. After the board games Resident Evil 2 (2019) and Resident Evil 3 (2021), Resident Evil: The Board Game (2023) brings the sinister Spencer Mansion to the game board in a terrifying open world campaign. Based on the 2002 remake of the original Resident Evil video game, Resident Evil: The Board Game is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players.
Built on the survival horror engine of the two previous board games, Resident Evil: The Board Game introduces plenty of new and updated mechanics to keep you on your toes. Solve ingenious new puzzles by unlocking doors, build the mansion's floor plan as you walk around, send characters on worthwhile missions and more. Setup is quick, as each scenario starts with just a few tiles. As you explore and open doors, you expand the map, opening new paths and discovering useful items... and deadly enemies.
Resident Evil: The Board Game is a campaign game that lasts approximately 27 hours, where every decision counts and has far-reaching consequences. Every resource must be managed, every bullet must be counted. Fighting is not the only way to survive. You will have to decide when to attack and when to flee. But you don't always get a choice! As your campaign progresses, the mansion will evolve and the danger level will increase. The suspense and encounter cards will change, mysterious new cards will be added, and the effects of old cards will be adjusted to make them even more dangerous. But effects don't just happen over time. Tension cards can change enemy behavior at any time, suddenly making them more deadly.
Little time? Each scenario of Resident Evil: The Board Game is also playable as a one-time session of 60-90 minutes.
In the darkness lie your fears. Can you fight them and survive?
