The ResistEnce

Including: The Plot thickens

The Resistance is a deduction game on secret identites. You either are the resistance and want to overthrow the government or are a spy and want to eliminate The Resistance. The Resistance wins with three successfully completed missions, the spies when three missions fail and they win, too, if The Resistance at any point in the game cannot put together a team.

A Leader is determined and cards for spies and Resistance are prepared depending on the number of players. Then characters are secretly allocated to players. Then the Leader gives the following orders: “all close their eyes – only the spies open their eyes and identify their colleagues – all close their eyes – all open their eyes”.  Now the leader chooses a team, followed by mission attribution and debate. Then a vote on the task allocation is taken. If this is approved all players vote whether they will support or sabotage the mission. A mission is successful if all votes are cast for support = success, otherwise the mission has failed. Information comes from different sources – like the behavior in voting and the success of mission, a basic rule of the game is: any player may at any time say what he likes.

The expansion „The Plot thickens“ uses Plot cards to facilitate gathering of information. Information received can be discussed, but you can never reveal character or mission cards.

The Resistance is an interesting version of the werewolf mechanisms, it plays faster and without loss of players, discussion is of the same importance as are deceit and logical deduction to choose the best team to help you own faction to win.
