Great little social game recommended for any group who enjoy backstabbing and lying to your closest of friends.
The resistance is similar to social games like Mafia or Werewolf, where the group of individuals playing are split into teams and need to either pass a set of missions, or fail them. The tricky part is no one knows who is who.
The game involves reading other people's actions and calling their bluff – very fun and easy to introduce to new players
The Resistance is a very intense social deduction game for 5–10 players. While it shares similiarities with games like Werewolf, Mafia and even Battlestar Galactica it has many very unique features such as a quick 30 minute play time, no moderator required and no player elimination.
Set in the near future, The Resistance pits a small group of resistance fighters against a powerful and corrupt government. The resistance has launched a series of bold and daring missions to bring the governement to its knees. Unfortunately spies have infiltrated the resistance ranks, ready to sabotage the carefully crafted plans. Even a single spy can take down a resistance mission team, choose your teams carefully or forever lose your chance for freedom.
Included in this release is a full expansion – “The Plot Thickens” is 15 additional action cards that increase the pressure and pacing of the game, and requires the spies to be even more deceitful if they are to achieve victory.
The Resistance artfully balances pure deduction elements with the social elements into a game that creates the adrenaline filled moments of high stakes poker but in a full interactive and social event. Its not for the faint of heart, or slow of mind – but if you are quick on your feet you'll be proud of your hard fought victories.
Ages 13+
