The Resistance is a party game of social deduction. It is designed for five to ten players, lasts about 30 minutes, and may be played with an ordinary deck of cards. The Resistance is inspired by Mafia/Werewolf, yet it is unique in its core mechanics which increase the resources for informed decisions, intensify player interaction, and eliminate player elimination.
From the rules:
Welcome to the Resistance. We’ve gathered here tonight to end our struggle against the empire’s brutal regime by sharing and implementing Plans for the destruction of their top bases. But be wary, because the empire has infiltrated spies among our ranks! You’re either a Resistance Operative or an Imperial Spy. Each team’s goal is to destroy the other side’s bases before their own are eliminated. Once all the bases of either group are destroyed, the other team has won. The stakes are high and the risk is great; we must determine our allies from our enemies for the Resistance to prevail!
