Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Claudia said the description of people ‘murdering’ each other in a Scottish castle also made her doubtful but she watched the Dutch version and was “interested in the psychology and how everybody gets on”. The Resistance is a card game where players are trying to complete a series of missions. What the actual missions are, doesn’t really matter. Each round, the mission leader must choose some of the players at the table to go on the mission in the hopes that they will succeed. Choose the right players and the mission will pass and the players will get a victory point. Gain 3 successes and the players win. To compound that, halfway through the game, another round of loyalty cards are dealt out. So you might have been 100% sure that the player next to you was human, perhaps not anymore. You yourself might have been working hard to help the human, only to now realize your on the other team. This concept will seem quite familiar to any fans of the TV show. The Haunt phase begins when certain parameters have been fulfilled. Depending on explored areas, who has which items, and a random factor one of the players is selected as a traitor, who gets possessed by the evil forces.
In other words, it’s the perfect recipe for a tense evening of double-crossing your family and friends around the kitchen table, with scenes likely to resemble this hilarious viral clip of a group of people playing The Traitors to pass time at a bus stop. One of the players will be infected and known as the “host”. The host’s job is to try and infect the other players and stop them from destroying the hive. Each player has infection cards (only the host’s are real). When you enter a room with any other player, you have to swap one of your cards. If you encounter the host and he gives you an infection card (and you don’t have a counter card), you become one of the infected. If you are unsure of someone’s loyalty, you can also just blast them in the face with your gun instead of swapping cards. I suppose that becomes a viable option one the paranoia fully sets in. If you both choose to reveal a Faithful card, you’ll split the collected gold coins from the pot thus far. If only you choose betrayal, you get everything. If you both choose Betrayal, everything in the shared hoard is lost! Then a new round begins with all players resurrected. Whoever has the most gold coins at the end of the final round is the winner! Final Thoughts

Cooperative board games are one of my favorite genres to play. I enjoy a sense of teamwork and group celebration on a hard earned victory. But sometimes, I just want to be sneaky. While it’s fun to be the bad guy, it’s even more fun for your fellow players to be unaware of your deception. Enter the traitor role. The traitor mechanic hasn’t been as fully embraced as the cooperative game mechanic in board gaming. I’m not sure why, but there are nowhere near as many games with a traitor as there are with fully cooperative mechanics. The description reads: "Enter a realm of trust and treachery, where every player must navigate the shadows carefully. Among the participants, there are Traitors hidden amidst the group, ready to strike under the cover of darkness. Every time an event card is drawn, there could be a murder or banishment. You need to make sure you’re not the victim of either. Whenever a murder comes up, someone will die, so the Faithful need to work together to find out who is working against them. I remember the tension and fear I experienced when I first saw the original Alien movie from 1979. It was one of the things that got me interested in sci-fi and horror, and it made Alien one of my favorite franchises. And I’m definitely not alone. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of "The Traitors" with this strategic family party game, based on the thrilling BBC TV series. Based on the hit reality competition, this game combines strategy and suspicion, offering a unique and engaging gameplay experience. Enter a realm of trust and treachery, where every player must navigate the shadows carefully.

Those two get a couple more turns then if they are both still in the game, it’s time for the Traitor’s Dilemma to decide what they want to do next. Now, if you are one of the final two, you can pop your hoodie up and pretend to huddle in a stone turret a la the BBC. Or you can just take a Faithful and a Betrayal card and decide what you are in your heart; pure or devilish! The board game allows players to fully immerse themselves in The Traitors experience as they either use their wits to unmask the traitor, or remain undetected as the traitor whilst competing alongside Faithfuls to win the prize pot. Among the participants, there are Traitors hidden amidst the group, ready to strike under the cover of darkness. Will you be the victim tonight? Stay vigilant, keeping your shield close and your foes even closer. The game is set, and the stakes are high. Will you win the money pot? Will you be banished?
