“Fantastic game and recreation of Resident Evil Remake. The huge amount of minis, pieces, cards, and tokens completely justifies the price of admission here. Not to mention the amount of playtime you'll get from doing a whole campaign! Also, there are a lot of rules and specifics to learn which feels daunting but once you've gone through a scenario it becomes substantially easier. The players get into a quick rhythm of play once everyone is comfortable! Negatives and Nitpicks: - Set up/tear down time is quite substantial, especially the first time. A handout helping you determine optimal ways to store your tokens and cards like in the Stardew Valley board game would be cool! - The rulebook: First time read of it is good, but after that when searching for rules it does not feel well laid out and you'll find yourself going back and forth quite often. - FAQ definitely needs to be included for this game. - Campaign play sheet for keeping track of game between play sessions needs more info, such as "Cards Removed From Play", "Decks to Preserve", etc. - Game needs to specifically call out in the rules the 2nd Floor West A case where you cannot progress due to missing the Key Item there. (I believe this is going to be in the FAQ) - Game should add some mechanic or mention in book regarding potential special rules or setup for adding/dropping out Players between Scenarios or even Players leaving during a Scenario. - I've already House Ruled that you can combine 2 Green Herbs into a Green Herb Mix as an Action that heals for 3 pts and only takes up 1 inventory slot. - FOMO: Found the finished Kickstarter first on the search results and there is an absolute boatload of characters, minis, playermats, etc there that we can never get here, even if we paid extra. As a recent superfan, I was super bummed we can't play as Wesker!”

“Fun and exciting! Love the puzzles and suspense of exploration. There are Lots of interesting mechanics that will keep you on the edge of your seat time and time again. You can really tell the fine attention to detail in the masterful construction on all game pieces and the close resemblance to the story line and events of the video game. A wonderful adaptation! Thank you One criticism i could give is some of the maps and doors are very dark and monochromatic.”

“Disclaimer: Have not had opportunity to play the game yet. I was unable to support this game for kickstarter, but when I saw it again for pre order a year later I gladly pulled the trigger and ordered. Resident Evil REmake being one of my favoritr games of all time The artwork on the box and tiles are nostalgia made real, as are the items printed on the cards. Everything looks proper, like it was ripped straight from the game. The holographic art (not sure actual title. Picture that changes as viewing angles changes) of the infamous zombie head turn was a surprise and utter delight. The printed models look great, and as a hobby miniature painter I look forward to giving the STARS their signature look while making the BOWs properly horrifying. Reading the rules looks like the game has coniderable depth and longevity, while not being overly complex either. I'm sure that once I get a trial game under my belt Ill have no trouble introducing this as a possibility for game nights Very happy with this purchase. Perfect for any RE fan”

“Nice game but I would have added more mansion related tiles. Unacceptable that the terrain pack is a KS exclusive! -2 stars”
