The Resistance 3rd Edition is a tense social deduction card game of secret identities, failed missions and accusations around the table.

Players are members of a resistance cell trying to overthrow a corrupt Empire, but spies have infiltrated the group. Each round, a leader chooses a mission team, everyone votes on whether to approve it, and the chosen players secretly decide whether the mission succeeds or fails. One spy on the team can be enough to ruin the mission and throw the whole group into suspicion.

This updated third edition keeps the core rules of The Resistance, adds new artwork and includes the Inquisitor expansion for more streamlined extended play. With no moderator and no player elimination, every player stays involved until either the Resistance completes three missions or the spies sabotage enough plans to crush the rebellion.

• Secret identity social deduction: Most players are loyal Resistance operatives, but hidden spies already know each other and are working together to undermine every mission.
• Mission team voting: Each round, the leader proposes a team and the whole table votes to approve or reject it, creating instant suspicion before the mission even begins.
• Hidden mission results: Approved team members secretly submit success or fail cards, so a single sabotage result can expose a spy or frame an innocent player.
• No player elimination: Everyone stays in the game from start to finish, so there is no waiting around after being knocked out early.
• No moderator needed: Unlike many Werewolf style games, all players can take part because the game runs without a separate host.
• Inquisitor expansion included: This third edition replaces The Plot Thickens with the Inquisitor expansion for a cleaner extended game option.
• Updated presentation: Third edition features refreshed artwork while keeping the same core Resistance rules.
• Built for table talk: Accusations, voting patterns, rejected teams and suspicious mission results all give players evidence to argue over.
• Plays up to 10 people: Ideal for larger groups that want a compact hidden role game without needing a long rules explanation.
• Fast 30 minute format: Delivers bluffing, deduction and dramatic reveals in a shorter playtime than many larger social deduction games.
• Dystopian sci-fi setting: The struggle between the Resistance and the Empire gives the game a sharper futuristic theme than medieval or village based hidden role games.
• Replayable group dynamics: The same cards can feel completely different depending on who lies well, who panics, and who the table decides to trust.
