The Resistance Board Game

Description

The Resistance Board Game:

Secret identities. Deduction. Deception. Set in the near future, The Resistance Board Game 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, so choose your teams carefully or forever lose your chance for freedom! Ages 10 and up.

The Resistance Board Game is a very intense social deduction game for 5 to 10 players. While it shares similarities with games like Werewolf, Mafia, and even Battlestar Galactica, it has many unique features that include a quick 30-minute play time, no moderator requirement, and no player elimination. The Resistance artfully balances pure deduction elements with social elements into a game that creates the adrenaline-filled moments of high-stakes poker, but in a full interactive and social event. It's not for the faint of heart or slow of mind, but if you're quick on your feet you'll be proud of your hard-fought victories.

Included in this release is a full expansion: "The Plot Thickens" consists of 15 additional action cards that increase the pressure and pacing of the game. It requires the spies to be even more deceitful if they are to achieve victory. The 2nd edition also features upgraded components with the same great game play and same low price. These upgrades include thick tokens for voting and tracking players on the mission. The game also includes 6 tableaus, one for each player count, with incredible illustrations.
