First I'd like to address a couple of the other reviews posted thus far. As far as the quality of the packaging, it isn't the greatest, but I've certainly seen worse and it shouldn't really be the deciding factor when evaluating the quality of a card game; Munchkin is a fantastic card game and is literally just a box with cards and die in it without anything to keep them from just rattling around inside. As for Michael Roberts and his playgroup's issue with dying all the time...all I can say is that I've played a couple games of the story mode with my girlfriend and her brother and no one has been completely knocked out of the game yet from too many deaths. Exploring the mansion (fighting a monster) is optional on your turn and not a good idea in early turns when your deck hasn't developed as much. This may not have been the case. I don't know, perhaps they were just unlucky.
To address the game directly, I'd like to say that this is my first experience with a deck-building game and that after 5 or so turns, it becomes extremely addicting. It is a game that is easy to learn, but more challenging to understand on a strategic level. Building your deck and combating monsters without regard for probability is a recipe for disaster. Fundamentally the game is about adopting a strategy that works well with your character card (everyone starts with a character card that gains new abilities after killing monsters), trying to obtain cards that enable that strategy, and building a deck with consideration to probability and ratio. Since this is my first time playing a deck-building game, the closest thing I can equate the experience to is drafting Magic the Gathering.
I would also suggest sleeving up the cards to lengthen their lifespan and also to make the amount of shuffling the game requires much easier. The instruction booklet does have some typos which caused some confusion and the directions themselves often take some active participation on your part, but the core game as a whole is a lot of fun.

Summary:
"Resident Evil: Deck Building Game" is a brand new game from the Resident Evil franchise that uses a very simple turn based card game system that gives room for large strategic battle against zombies, or each other. This is the first deck building game I played and after playing this game with friends and family, I was shocked to find that 3 hours have past and we still want to keep on playing.
I was extremely surprised at how many people enjoyed this game after I have introduced it to them and taught them how to play. They have no experience with other card games such as this and they seemed to much rather do something else, BUT after a few turns of playing, they really enjoyed playing Resident Evil: Deck Building Game and would love to play it again. Having owned this game for a month already and showing it to several friends and family, we spent an enjoyable 5 hours on average playing this game simply because it was just that fun.
I highly recommend this game to people who love boardgames or like the Resident Evil franchise. This game has no actual board and doesn't need one which gives it a high potential for customization.
Recommendations:
This game is a highly customizable game where you can modify the rules as you get more experienced to enhance game play to make it more difficult or easier to your liking. As such, I recommend getting about 300 "Magic Sized" card sleeves all of the same color so you can do things such as placing all of the healing items in the mansion so you have to explore to heal yourself (The extra 50 card sleeves are there to replace bent card sleeves since a lot of shuffling will take place). Heres a link of the type of sleeves I meant 100 Count Blue Deck Protector Sleeves. The game also suggests you have tokens to keep track of your life, just having pen and paper handy for each player to keep track of their life is all you really need. And last but not least, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THE GAME MANUAL AND VISIT THE OFFICIAL RESIDENT EVIL: DECK BUILDING GAME SITE [...] to understand how to play or have someone teach you how to play. It seems difficult to understand but after 3-4 turns of playing you will get the hang of it.
Note:
There are spacing errors on my version of the Game Manual, future releases might have this problem fixed so beware and check the official site for clarifications. Expect to spend 2-3 hours to play through your first round of "Story Mode", that was how long on average I estimated on each "First time" play through with my friends and family. Experienced players can finish a round of "Story Mode" within 1 hour. The first time I started this game with a few friends it was 8pm and we finished at 11pm and we still wanted to go for another round. We planned to do other things but eventually it was 3am and we were having too much fun with Resident Evil: Deck Building Game. In my experience, teaching new players and playing through the "First time" with them still takes about 3 hours to finish a game. I only gave this game a 4 star rating because I feel that it needs more cards to enhance the game experience. I am hoping to see a possible expansion set for more cards.

I bought this game, and in the beginning it was a little dificult, but in the forums of bandaicg.com there are a loy of questions solved, so now i can play very well and with my friends that are RE fans.
The pictures corresponds to the games, there are some rules or some actions a little difficult, but the gameplay is great, specially if you play with 3 more friends. The game offers a randomized enviroment, so it's difficult to predict what player wins the round. The best part are the characters and the weapons, there are cool, a great design.
So if you're a real fan of RE series you won't be dissapointed !!
