Description Description
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. It is designed for five to ten players, lasts about 30 minutes, and has no player elimination. 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. 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.

BioDio 10.0/10

If you have a group that actually rages, slurs, and talks nonstop in an extremely violent way, regardless of gender, there is no board game I've played that tops the fun that The Resistance constantly provides.

jdtaylor 10.0/10

I consider this the benchmark hidden role social deduction game. Preferred over Secret Hitler, Deception, or anything with werewolves in it. Hidden Agenda expansion adds the Avalon roles and is a must-have.

Ms_InspirationPlay 10.0/10

The first social deduction game I ever played. I’ve played many since and this is still my favorite one. Always laugh so hard at the end. You need a good poker face but it’s so fun with the right group.

PoopZer 10.0/10

It's the classic social deduction game that plays 5-10 pretty quickly and is easy to learn. Yes it doesn't have the bells and whistles of the newer games or Avalon, but I think simple is still great.

PSYmoom 10.0/10

A fantastic deduction game! It is a simple-ish social deduction game to teach that doesn’t devolve into chaotic shouting matches. No lying required. Both the good and the bad players can rely on logic and metagaming to outwit their opponents. If you play regularly with the same group, the game evolves naturally as players adapt to the meta and find new strategies to break it. While the expansion with Commander cards is highly recommended, you can also create your own makeshift solutions. A must-have for any fan of social deduction games!
