Stray Cat Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Does anyone else play this? Or would anyone else be interested in playing it? http://www.theresistanceonline.com/ Rules The game requires between five and ten players. Approximately one third of the players are randomly chosen as spies; the rest are members of the Resistance. The spies know who the other spies are, but Resistance members do not. The game consists of up to five missions. Each mission has a leader. The leader proposes a mission team of a certain size, which the group approves by public vote. If the group does not approve the mission by a simple majority, leadership passes to the next player. If the group cannot approve a mission team after five attempts, the spies win. Once a mission team is chosen, it votes by secret ballot whether the mission succeeds or fails. Resistance members will always vote for success, but spies have the option of voting for success or failure. It usually only takes one spy on the mission team to sabotage a mission, but sometimes the fourth mission requires two. If three missions succeed, the Resistance wins. If three fail, the spies win. And finally, the last, but most important rule of all: You are allowed to say anything, to any one, at any time -- as long as it is said publicly. Additionally, there are two rule variants: Original Resistance: At the beginning of the first round of every mission, the leader distributes a number of plot cards from a shuffled deck to other players. These plot cards can be used to reveal additional pieces of information to certain players or to the entire group. Resistance: Avalon: One of the Resistance players (designated "Merlin") is told who the spies are. He can use this knowledge to help his teammates, but beware -- the spies mustn't figure out who Merlin is! At the end of the game, one of the spies (designated "the Assassin") is allowed to kill off one Resistance player; if he picks Merlin, the spies win!

Stray Cat Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I added rules. The video is a semi-decent explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosakyun Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Sounds a lot like that wolf and villager thingy game using cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
