Description

The Resistance is a social deduction party game where 5 to 10 players work together to complete missions against the Empire, while also trying to figure out who among them are Imperial Spies. The game is easy to learn and plays out over 30 minutes, with no player elimination. Players are either Resistance Operatives or Imperial Spies, and they must depend on each other to succeed, while also trying to gain each other's trust and deduce their true identities. As the game unfolds, players discuss and vote on mission assignments, and then secretly decide whether to support or sabotage the mission. The team that wins three missions first wins the game. With its unique blend of social interaction, deduction, and bluffing, The Resistance is a thrilling game of cat and mouse that's perfect for large groups of friends.
