A new Zombie game on Kickstarter - Resident Evil

[Raynor]

Resident Evil the board game is on Kickstarter, and it's got me Wondering if I should break down and add another Zombie game to my collection.

Currently I really enjoy LNoE and Zombicide, which scratch two different kinds of itches. I also have Dead of Winter but the game sees almost no play, as the gameplay and group dynamics aren't appealing to my group. We got rid of Z-Pocalypse despite finding it entertaining because it didn't get picked for play either.

Anyone played the previously released Re2 or Re3 board games? It looks like they're building on and refining the mechanics that they designed for those games. I hadn't played those video games, so didn't seek them out but I have played the first RE, so the setting and characters are more interesting to me. The fact that they've been able to refine the gameplay is also intriguing.

If I dive in, it'll likely be just the core pledge. The number of extra bonus characters in the KS edition make it seem likely worth the extra I'll end up spending on shipping.

Anyone else a fan of the Resident Evil series? I believe the movie was the first instance I can remember of legitimately enjoying a video game movie adaptation. I have the whole series on Blu-ray, though they're primarily a guilty pleasure after the first film.

Reading through the campaign page has gotten me to finally start playing through the RE2 videogame remake I bought on sale last Christmas and start playing through it. I missed the boat on the original series back on the PS, and only started with RE4 on the GameCube.
