About the game
Get ready for another zombie outbreak! In Resident Evil Deck Building Game: Alliance, you and your friends (or just yourself!) dive into a sinister mansion, fleeing a horde of hungry undead. The mission? Gather as many resources, weapons, and ammo as you can to survive and, maybe, put an end to this viral mess. With each game, you build your deck, adding cards that represent your arsenal and skills, all to face the infected who appear along the way. You can choose from iconic characters from the series, each with their own tricks, and the cool part is that this game works on its own or can boost your original Resident Evil Deck Building Game.

Alliance brings new features like extra characters – such as Hunk and Carlos Oliveira – plus new weapons and dangers that will keep you on edge. And if you enjoy playing as a duo, the new 'partner' mode lets you control two characters simultaneously, increasing strategy and fun. With components that enhance immersion and straightforward rules, the game promises constant challenges and explosive combinations for fans of the franchise or anyone who enjoys a good deck builder with a survival theme. It's time to face the mansion and prove you have what it takes to avoid becoming zombie chow!
