Players assume secret roles as loyal knights or traitors, navigating tense voting and hidden identities to complete missions. Its compact design and easy-to-learn rules make it ideal for game nights, while its deep strategic layers and integration with related games ensure high replayability and social engagement. ## Description Product Description The Resistance Avalon is a fast social deduction game where five to ten players take on secret roles in the world of King Arthur. Some players are loyal knights who want missions to succeed, while others serve Mordred and try to make them fail. Before each mission the group debates, chooses a team, and then secretly votes for success or failure. Every vote and accusation gives clues about who can be trusted, but traitors will lie and bluff to stay hidden. Merlin knows which players are evil, yet must guide the table without revealing his identity, because the Assassin wins if Merlin is correctly named at the end of the game. Simple rules make it easy to teach in minutes, and a full game usually finishes in about thirty minutes, making it an ideal choice for parties and game nights. Avalon fits well with mixed experience groups, since new players can follow their instincts while veterans explore deeper layers of table talk, signaling, and misdirection. The compact card format makes the game easy to pack for travel or conventions, and high replay value comes from different role combinations and ever changing group dynamics. From the Manufacturer 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 honor, 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. Review: Quick, Fun, and Perfect for Groups - This is a great game that really makes you think. It’s perfect for groups and creates lots of fun interaction. The box is a convenient size, making it easy to transport, and the rules are simple to understand. Games are quick, engaging, and very fun. Review: Great for game nights - Bought this for my brother-in-law after watching him use a regular deck of playing cards as a makeshift version of Avalon. Needless to say, he was pretty excited to finally have the real game. The cards and artwork are great, the rules are easy to learn, and every game gets people arguing, bluffing, and trying to figure out who’s lying. It’s become one of our favorite games to bring out when we have a group over. If you like social deduction games, this one is a blast. ## Features - STRATEGY MEETS DECEPTION – Avalon challenges players to expose traitors while completing missions.

You have to remove the role cards from Avalon to set it up as basic Resistance. The expansions that add new characters cards will not work with Avalon, unless you use sleeves that hide the card backs. You don't need the Hidden Agenda expansion because Avalon is a mashup of The Resistance with Hidden Agenda. **Q: Has anyone had experience playing Avalon WITH The Resistance game? The games can be combined... but what does that look like? How? Is it awesome?** A: You can play The Resistance with the new roles from Avalon, or you can play Avalon with the plot cards from The Resistance. The Resistance is improved by the new roles, which you can also get with the same theme via the http://www.amazon.com/Resistance-Hidden-Agenda-Card-Game/dp/B00OVZ693W/ref=pd_sim_21_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0AF032SF6SW4XYWNH0MP expansion. The plot cards offer a deeper level of play, but are more complex and make games longer. **Q: What are the dimensions when shipped? (volumetric and actual)** A: The box of the game itself is 8x6x2 inches, not very large. I don't recall the size of the box that Amazon sent it in (I had other items in that package I believe). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick, Fun, and Perfect for Groups *by P***A on December 24, 2025* This is a great game that really makes you think. It’s perfect for groups and creates lots of fun interaction. The box is a convenient size, making it easy to transport, and the rules are simple to understand. Games are quick, engaging, and very fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for game nights *by K***N on June 16, 2026* Bought this for my brother-in-law after watching him use a regular deck of playing cards as a makeshift version of Avalon. Needless to say, he was pretty excited to finally have the real game. The cards and artwork are great, the rules are easy to learn, and every game gets people arguing, bluffing, and trying to figure out who’s lying. It’s become one of our favorite games to bring out when we have a group over. If you like social deduction games, this one is a blast. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing game of deception for all *by L***T on September 14, 2014* It isn't often that you find a simple game that can be played over and over again and still feel as new and exciting as the first time you sat down to play it. The Resistance Avalon is less of a card game and board game and more of a social experience. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the game Werewolf or Mafia, right? This game is quite similar but without player elimination and with more opportunities to deceive and be deceived. Avalon is a rethemed version of the original Resistance. Both play very similar, the reason I bought Avalon is for the player specific roles that it allows. Before the game begins players will be randomly dealt a card assigning them to either the good team or bad team without anyone else knowing. After that everyone will close their eyes and the bad team members will open their eyes to see who they are working with. The game plays out over a series of "quests". Each quest will have a quest leader who will assign a certain number of players to "participate" in the quest. The rest of the players will then vote whether or not to allow the quest to continue as assigned. When it is settled that these players are allowed to go on the quest they will be given two cards, a Success card and a Fail card. Each player will then submit secretly their decision and then they will be randomly reviled resulting in either a successful or failed quest. First team to reach 3 failed or successful quests wins. The opportunities for a bad player to deceive others is much more numerous than you might imagine. And any players from the good team will need to constantly be on their toes to catch them in the act of treachery. The game is full of lying, accusations, counter accusations and desperate pleas that others blindly put their trust in you trust you. Out of all the games I have this one has been the biggest hit with my group of friends. It was a little difficult to convince them of how much fun the game is, but after playing once everyone always wants to play a second and third time. I honestly have to leave this game at home or else whenever I bring it then it's the one that we play. The only downside to the game might also be the biggest positive, that being that you need at least 5 people to play. But if you have a large group of friends like me then maybe it will make it easier to bring to the table more often. I think I only paid $14 for this game on Amazon and have probably played it more than 50 times. If you have a large group of friends that aren't afraid to twist the truth a little then this game will definitely entertain for hours and hours on end. And besides when else do you get to point to your wife and at the top of your lungs accuse her of lying to your face all in the name of fun. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Resistance: Avalon Card Game - Thrilling Social Deduction Board Game - Quick Strategy & Deception for 5-10 Players - Ages 13+ - 30 Minute Play Time - By Indie Boards & Cards - Coup - The Fast, Fun Bluffing Party Game for 2-6 Players.
