The Resistance - Learn to Play The Ultimate Game of Deception
Summary:
Secret identities, deduction, deception. Win a game, go to the final. Everyone gets a chance to "Get in the Game" and could be featured as a character in an upcoming game.
A party game of social deduction. It is inspired by Mafia/Werewolf, yet it is unique in its core mechanics which intensify player interaction, and eliminate player elimination.
Description:
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. At the same time, they must try to deduce the other players’ identities and gain their trust. Each round begins with discussion. When ready, the Leader entrusts sets of Plans to a certain number of players (possibly including himself/herself). Everyone votes on whether or not to approve the assignment. Once an assignment passes, the chosen players secretly decide to Support or Sabotage the mission. Based on the results, the mission succeeds (Resistance win) or fails (Empire win). When a team wins three missions, they have won the game.
