Description
The Resistance: Avalon X cranks the classic Avalon experience up to eleven, letting a crew of five to ten friends dive into a quick, 30‑minute clash of wits where everybody’s got a secret agenda. Designed by Don Eskridge and released in 2019, this expansion adds fresh hidden roles, sneaky memory challenges and asymmetric powers that keep even veteran players guessing. The rules are dead‑simple and can be explained in a flash, so you spend more time whispering, accusing, and voting on who to trust (or betray) and less time leaf‑turning. With simultaneous action selection and team‑based missions, the game feels like a medieval spy thriller mixed with a party‑game showdown—full of bluffing, deduction, and that delicious “I‑knew‑it‑was‑you” moment when the traitor finally slips up. Grab your friends, shuffle the cards, and let the back‑stabbing fun begin.
