About the game
If you're already a fan of the Resident Evil Deck Building Game and craving more scares and challenges, Nightmare is the perfect addition! This expansion introduces brand-new cards like Luis Sera, Sergei Vladimir, and the dreaded Mine Thrower, injecting extra excitement into the four modes you already know and love: Story, Versus, Mercenary, and Outbreak. Get ready to face Osmund Saddler in his infected form, because the real nightmare is just beginning!

As an expansion, you'll need the base game (Resident Evil DBG or Resident Evil: Alliance) to play. It adds more variety and content for those looking to extend their experience. The Nightmare box is cleverly designed to also store cards from all previous expansions, keeping your collection organized. The rules are straightforward, and the card text is minimal, making it very accessible for non-English speakers or for quicker setup. It's a great pick for fans of the series who want more action and horror on their tables, utilizing the deck-building mechanic that made the original game a hit.
