Players are ready to be thrown into where it all begins, as S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team are preparing to get into the horrifying mix and get their boots on the ground to save Bravo Team from the unknown.
Like other Resident Evil board games, 1-4 players will undergo a cooperative survival horror experience. Heading back to iconic locations such as the depths of the forest, the Arklay Mountains and the mysterious Spencer Manor for respite.

If players have not immersed themselves in the tabletop universe for Resident Evil, now truly is the perfect time to get started. Can probably guarantee that Steamforged will make Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 available as a pledge bundle or add-on to be able to journey through each individual campaign.
Promising a Kickstarter “unlike any you've experienced before”, Resident Evil: The Board Game will be standing up this Ocotber on the crowd-funding platform Kickstarter, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the original Resident Evil video game. You can request a notification via email as a reminder here.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. Can we please get Resident Evil 4? I am desperate to scream “LEON!” at the top of my voice Ashley-style, every time her miniature is being moved on the board…

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: video games like RE live on the scare factor. The tension and the sudden AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH!. I can’t see any way to recreate that with a boardgame. Not without using additional media like VHS/DVD/Apps.
I’ve played through most of the Resident Evil 2 tabletop campaign (and also own the RE3 board game, though I’ve not had a chance to play through it yet), and I can attest that they’ve done an absolutely brilliant job of translating the experience into board game-ese. We’ve had a blast with it! I’ll be backing this as well for sure.
Mmm not sure if this will be as good as the PC version as @sundancer says you don’t have the spook effect.
You don’t get jump scares but the tension deck mechanic in the RE2 board game was one of its better features and worked surprisingly well to keep the tension up with its combination of ‘phew, nothing unexpected happened this turn’ and ‘but that means all the really bad stuff is still waiting for us’.
Fire pits are of different types and kinds, some are dug into the ground, or some are made up of wood, stone, and bricks. If you are an Australian, you can find the best product here at Hot Fire Pits Australia.
