About the game
What you do in a play session
If you miss the adrenaline of outrunning a Tyrant or managing scarce ammo while chaos erupts in the streets, Resident Evil 3: The Board Game is your new obsession. This cooperative survival horror game perfectly captures the essence of Capcom's classic, bringing the desperation of Raccoon City straight to your table. You and your friends take control of iconic heroes, like Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira, attempting to escape the T-virus outbreak before it's too late.
The experience is incredibly versatile: you can tackle standalone scenarios for a quick session or dive into an epic campaign that can span over 19 hours of pure suspense. The challenge scales as you play; as time passes, the city's danger level rises and more zombies emerge to disrupt your plans. Resource management is vital, and every decision could mean the difference between survival and a tragic end.
A standout feature is the tension deck, a brilliant carryover from the successful Resident Evil 2: The Board Game. It ensures nothing is predictable, throwing unexpected threats at you that mimic the suspenseful atmosphere of the video games. Designed by Sherwin Matthews, a true fan of the franchise, this isn't just an adaptation—it's a celebration of the series' horror atmosphere. Be ready to manage your action points with precision, because error is not an option when the city is falling apart!
