| The Resistance Indie Boards & Cards |
The Resistance is a highly interactive party-style game for 5-10 players. It full of secret identities, deductions and deceptions. From Indie Boards & Cards comes this game description:
Set in the near future, The Resistance pits a small group of resistance fighters against a powerful and corrupt government. The resistance has launched a series of bold and daring missions to bring the governement to its knees. Unfortunately spies have infiltrated the resistance ranks, ready to sabotage the carefully crafted plans. Even a single spy can take down a resistance mission team, choose your teams carefully or forever lose your chance for freedom.
The Resistance includes a bundled expansion, “The Plot Thickens”, that offers even more possibilities for discovery and deception.
The Resistance artfully balances pure deduction elements with the social elements into a game that creates the adreniline filled moments of high stakes poker but in a full interactive and social event. Its not for the faint of heart, or slow of mind – but if you are quick on your feet you’ll be proud of your hard fought victories.
