The Resistance (3rd Edition)

The Empire must fall. Our mission must succeed. By destroying their key bases, we will shatter Imperial strength and liberate our people. Yet spies have infiltrated our ranks, ready for sabotage. We must unmask them. In five nights we reshape destiny or die trying. We are the Resistance!

The Resistance is a party game of social deduction, designed for five to ten players, lasting about 30 minutes, with no player elimination. Inspired by Mafia/Werewolf, it's unique in its core mechanics, which increase the resources for informed decisions, intensify player interaction, and eliminate player elimination.

Players are either Resistance Operatives or Imperial Spies. For three to five rounds, they must depend on each other to carry out missions against the Empire while trying to deduce the other players' identities and gain their trust. Each round begins with discussion — the Leader entrusts sets of Plans to a number of players, and everyone votes on whether to approve the assignment. Once approved, the chosen players secretly decide to Support or Sabotage the mission. When a team wins three missions, they've won the game.

• 5–10 players, ages 13+, about 30 minute playtime
