The Resistance - A Strategic Board Game

I played "The Resistance" with family this weekend. I had no idea what it was. And I must admit that this is an awesome strategic game.


In fact this game is good to develop two things. First you will develop you deductive powers. Second you will develop you capacity to deceive.



The game is played like this. You have two types of people. The rebels and the spies from the government. The rebels have to go into missions. And if the mission succeeds, the rebels wins. The aim for the spies is to abort the rebel mission. If the mission abort, the spies wins. The first team to win three times wins the game.



At the beginning of each turn every player is given a card. This card determine for the turn if you are a rebel or a spy. When that's done. Everyone is asked to close his/her eyes. They it is asked that only the spies open their eyes. So they can identify each other an try to play together to make the mission abort.



It is a very good game. And you must ask questions in order to determine (if you are a rebel) who is a spy. Because once you identify a spy, you don't send him/her into missions. Because iiff you do, they will make the mission abort...



It is hard to explain in here how fun the game is and how hard your skills are called into action.



I recommend this game to any one who likes strategy. And who likes to pass a good night with friends and family, playing a good game.
