Thanks to Amazon’s Winter Sale, the Resident Evil: The Bleak Outpost board game is available for $36.99, discounted from its typical Amazon price of $52.62. Fans of Resident Evil, or board games, can access this expansion to the original Resident Evil: The Board Game and now save over $15, amounting to a decent savings of 30%. While this game acts as an expansion to the original board game, players can also jump straight in, thanks to six standalone scenarios that bring new challenges and even bigger bosses.
Resident Evil is one of the most influential game series of all time. It pioneered the survival horror genre and expanded into movies, novels, and board games. The game series was created by Capcom, a household name in gaming with a rich history spanning decades. Known for titles like Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Street Fighter, there’s no shortage of legendary Capcom franchises. However, Resident Evil is the one title that has expanded far beyond gaming, and this tabletop game created in collaboration with Steamforged Games is an excellent example of this.

Why The Bleak Outpost Is a Must-Have for Resident Evil Fans
The Bleak Outpost is an expansion to Resident Evil: The Board Game, introducing players to new locations such as the Guard House and Aqua Ring. Each area is filled with unique hazards like flooding tiles and dangerous searching vines, which are, naturally, accompanied by hostiles. These environments challenge us to adapt our strategies beyond what the original game required, adding fresh, challenging puzzles to an already well-established system. However, the addition of two massive boss fights against Neptune and Plant-42 is what we are really excited about, creating battles that demand even more teamwork.

Fans of the Resident Evil franchise have now an excellent opportunity to grab an expansion for the board game that brings the legendary horror game to life. Resident Evil: The Bleak Outpost sets players on a dangerous adventure through six scenarios with new, bigger bosses.
This expansion brings 11 double-sided tiles, expanding the playable environment with new layouts. There are also over 100 new cards that add layers of complexity by introducing mechanics, enemies, and resources that expand gameplay. While The Bleak Outpost is optimal for those looking to continue their campaign, we love that new players can tackle it as a standalone game. The included rulebook ensures that both new and returning players can learn about the core rules and take advantage of the added features.
The board game comes with more detailed miniatures for Neptune and Plant-42, the two massive bosses, alongside new mechanics and challenges.
In terms of the gameplay, the game involves the strategic element of managing limited resources while facing evolving threats. With deadly creatures potentially looming behind every corner, the suspense of the game series is brought perfectly into tabletop format. Both of the new bosses come in larger 80 mm bases, towering over the players. The game adds around 8 hours of gameplay to the original board game. Now for a limited time, Amazon’s Winter Sale is offering the Resident Evil: The Bleak Outpost board game at $36.99, down 30% from its typical retail price. However, there’s only a limited quantity, so purchase before it is too late.
