At the same time, they must try to deduce the other players’ identities and gain their trust. For three to five rounds, they must depend on each other to carry out missions against the Empire. Players are either Resistance Operatives or Imperial Spies. The Resistance is inspired by Mafia/Werewolf, yet it is unique in its core mechanics which increase the resources for informed decisions, intensify player interaction, and eliminate player elimination. It is designed for five to ten players, lasts about 30 minutes, and has no player elimination. The Resistance is a party game of social deduction. In five nights we reshape destiny or die trying. Yet spies have infiltrated our ranks, ready for sabotage. By destroying their key bases, we will shatter Imperial strength and liberate our people. For those unfamilar with the game, here’s the description from : I played a few other games, but the highlight of the game was a marathon “The Resistance” session. The most notable thing was that we were clearly playing with a demo version of the game (with mocked up laser printed cards) that’s been around since the game was in development. Same general rules as CZE’s DC Deck Building Game, but with minor tweaks. I started my night playing The Hobbit Deck Building Game for the first time. Most visitors to this site are mainly interested in Hex, as I am myself, but CZE has a lot more going on. I may have accidentally seen a new bunny and another robot troop from Set 2…ĭuring my tour I was blown away by the sheer number of games, trading card sets, etc. Finally, I saw what I’ll call the Card Manager” admin tool where all of the cards are defined, art is associated, etc. The (in)famous paper decks that are being used for playtesting Set 2 were laying around – definitely took a lot of self control to not pick one up and start thumbing through the cards. I also got to see the UI at a much higher resolution than we saw at GenCon – it looks awesome. They’d just got the art assets for the new loading screen and apparently it’s “beautiful” and “incredible”. I got to meet the entire team, including almost everyone we saw in the Kickstarter videos, and spent a good deal of time talking to the developers. I wasn’t completely oblivious to the fact that I was at the “source” of Hex. Never fear, I’ll go back sooner or later, squeeze the Hex team for new information, and document the visit fully for the community! I figured I’d relay some of my experiences. As it turned out they would have been more than happy to let me take a bunch of pictures and ask a bunch of questions, but I didn’t want to impose – I’d accepted an offer to participate in “Game Night” so I wasn’t there as a blogger, nor was I on a mission to unearth new Hex information.
Cory and the entire team were incredibly welcoming and I had a great time. I had the extremely good fortune to visit Cryptozoic’s HQ last night.
