The Resistance is an intense social deduction game for 5-10 players. While it shares similarities 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 government 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.
This game is fantastic. I played it recently at a party that I hosted after we played a two board game of Fische, Fluppen, Frikadellen. Everybody said that it was the best game ever! It is a lot of fun. There is a lot of laughing. Always disbelief when the spy's are announced at the end of the game. I remember one of my first games. When you are down to the last round, the pressure is so big to win. You don't know who you can trust. I selected my two most trusted operatives who successfully completed the first mission. They were both spies! I promise you a good time!
