## Description

From the manufacturer The Resistance: Avalon The Resistance: Avalon pits the forces of Good and Evil in a battle to control the future of civilization. Arthur represents the future of Britain, a promise of prosperity and honour, yet hidden among his brave warriors are Mordred's unscrupulous minions. These forces of evil are few in number but have knowledge of each other and remain hidden from all but one of Arthur's servants. Merlin alone knows the agents of evil, but he must speak of this only in riddles. If his true identity is discovered all will be lost. The Resistance: Avalon is a stand alone game. It does not require you to have The Resistance to play, but it remains compatible so you can combine games. Product Information 5 to 10 Players 30 Minutes play time Ages 13 and Up Like the 2nd Edition of The Resistance, The Resistance: Avalon features upgraded components. These upgrades include thick tokens for voting and tracking players on the quest. The game also includes 6 tableaus, one for each player count, with incredible illustrations. Inside the Box The box contains 14 character cards, 10 quest cards, 2 loyalty cards, 5 team tokens, 20 voting tokens, 5 scoring tokens, 1 turn token, 1 loot token, 1 election token, 1 Lady of the Lake token, 3 score boards and 1 rule book.

Review: Simple game, endless hours of fun - One quick "trial round" and you should be good to go. If you're not sure, have a poke around for "Resistance - Avalon" on YouTube to see how it's played. Honestly, it's such a fun experience as you try to ascertain who the "Minions of Mordor" (aka bad guys) are. It encourages open dialogue, leaving you staring into your friends eyes to see how honorable they are (or not!). In my opinion, this game is best suited for 6-7 players. The 5-player board is a too tough to work out who the bad guys are in time. And 6/7 players sits comfortably in the "need to think it out" zone. 10 players (the maximum), and it becomes more of a headache, than a fun experience! If after a few rounds you're finding it seems like perhaps the bad guys or good guys are winning too easily, you can introduce different styles of players. For instance, the Wizard, Merlin (who's a good guy) knows who the bad guys are... So he has to convince his fellow good-guys to pick the right team each time. Twist is, if the good guys win, then at the end, the bad guys get to take a guess on who Merlin is. If they get it right.... The bad guys win! So it's a subtle role that needs to be played well. And there's a similar character for the bad guys. But you get the idea ! We find voting a little cumbersome, but it is important. I would say have a thumbs up or down policy rather than pulling out additional cards. It comes in a very portable box, so ready to take away on a weekend with friends for that quieter night. Brilliant. Can't recommend it enough !
Review: Great fun for 5-10 players who like bluff and deception. - A well-produced game of bluff and deception that we play infrequently as it requires at least 5 players, and preferably more (about 7 is good, I'd say). It is based on the game Resistance but is (obviously) themed around the King Arthur and Mordred story, and it has additional mechanics (e.g., via the addition of Merlin - more of him later). Artwork is excellent and the entire package is not too large and so is easily transported. Players receive a character card (kept secret) that will be either allied to Arthur (good) or to Mordred (evil). Some of these characters have a special ability. Each round a player acts as king and chooses who goes on a mission. Arthur's side want the missions to succeed, Mordred's want them to fail. And that's basically it. 3 success and the good guys win, 3 fails and the bad guys win... The game play is interesting - there's plenty of opportunity to deceive and the game is fast and fun and intriguing from the very start; if you're good you don't know who to trust - unless you're Merlin, who knows exactly who the evil players are but who must not give away his own identity as, if the evil players correctly identify him, they win the game). Given that the game lasts around 30 mins, it's good that players are never eliminated - everyone plays throughout. This is a family game that genuinely engages all ages - even my 7 year old son enjoys it; the game mechanics are simple and the layers of sophistication/complexity lie with the players and their bluffing/deducing. A great game!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the package quantities? Wondering why the price is nearly 6 times more for a quantity of 3 than a quantity of 1**
A: There is no difference - the different amounts just serve to confuse the customer. We expect that if someone did buy 3, they would just send 3 of the single cheaper items. Sadly this practice seems to be all over the catalog.

**Q: My daughter's bf loves secret hitler!  if anyone has played both... is it different enough or just same game different theme?**
A: Pretty much the same game, different theme but I still like to play all the different games - avalon, coup, resistance, secret hitler... gives a nice bit of variety!

**Q: What is the best single player game of this nature?**
A: This is a social deduction game. There are no single-player games in this genre.

**Q: Do you also provide card sleeves fro them? I know it's composed of not only cards but token and smaller stuff, is there a way I can get all of them?**
A: I bought FFG sleeves for mine (standard silver I think). The tokens and stuff are linen finish heavy card stock so you won’t need sleeves for them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All time classic
*by L***E on 21 January 2019*

I've played this game countless times with other people's copy. The ultimate social deduction game that I cannot get enough of. I finally got this, played it, and now I am reviewing this. The base game is the resistence, which follows the paradigm of the "good" guys figuring out who the "bad" guys are. Bad guys control the information at the beginning of the game (as they identify each other at the beginning of the game) but lack in numbers. While the good guys control the board by having the majority, but with no information to begin with. This is the reimplementation of the "vanilla" resistence above, where it adds special characters like Merlin, who identifies the bad guys, but has to remain hidden. Mordred who stays hidden from Merlin. Percival, who identifies Merlin (the good guy who knows all the bad guys except Mordred) and Morgana (a bad guy) but unaware of which one is which! And the assassin, who has the chance to assassinate Merlin at the end of the game. Based on the crowd, I have mixed and matched the characters - depending on their ability to perform social deduction. Ranging from adding no special characters, and just playing with the base game to all the special characters, (plus more!) 9 out of 10 times, I was able to teach and play in less than 10 minutes, for the rest of the night. With the special characters, it is incredibly easy to balance the game also. Must-have for anyone who is interested in social deception games. Easy to learn, exciting board game for everyone (also happens to be one of my favourite board games of all time.) Easiest 5 stars I have given.
