Resident Evil Deck Building Game

[randomwab]

Has anyone picked this up? I had no interest in it until I read Robert Florence talking about it on Rock Paper Shotgun this morning. A nice except from the article.

I like this game a lot. I’m a Resident Evil fan, though, so I get a real kick out of combining two Green Herb cards to regain health. That thrills me. Finding a First Aid Spray makes me quiver. Shooting a Licker with a shotgun makes my Southern Nose wet.

The risk/reward element of the Mansion Deck is a buzz, because it’s always fun to see your opponents pushing too far and getting their legs eaten and cards stolen by a Hunter. There’s just something really tasty about getting to choose whether or not you’re exploring the mansion. It’s always fun to say “I’m going in.”

“But you have one gun, no ammo, two knives.”

“I’m going in.”

Everybody looking at you like you’re crazy. Like you’re some crazy, sexy kid. Beautiful.

The full article is here.

And it should be noted that this was written by a big Resident Evil fan. The man who made the best Resident Evil 4 review way back when.
