Resident Evil: The Board Game
Board Game - Design and Lead Development
A tabletop adaptation of the first video game in Capcom's long running survival horror series, Resident Evil.
In keeping with its source material, Resident Evil 1 is focused around managing limited resources and choosing your battles carefully. Is it better to use your limited ammo to clear a key room of a zombie? Or better instead to save it for the bigger threat waiting beyond the next door?
Resident Evil 1 took all of the elements of the previous two Resident Evil board games, developing and refining them making it the definitive game of the three. Aside from the most scenarios it also introduced exploration to the formula, along with puzzles, and reserve characters.
