Game play is very straight forward and simple enough that even first time players can dive in with just a basic run down of rules, yet play changes enough each game that it is kept fresh and interesting. The games are divided into 5 different "missions" and an entire game tends to last only around 20 minutes, which is fantastic since most games that support a group our size end up being incredibly complicated or drag on forever. It helps, of course, to have a bunch of back-stabbing liars as friends but we all can't be so lucky.
Each player is dealt a role card -- in the most simple of versions, you're either a good guy (Loyal Servant of Arthur, including Merlin) or evil (Minion of Mordred, including Assassin). Certain characters reveal themselves to each other before the game so alliances can be formed -- in general the bad guys usually know who each other are and Merlin knows who the evil players are. The basic object of the game is to complete a set number of missions through a voting system; good must always vote for success and evil is free to cause as much chaos in voting as they like. For each mission, there is a group leader who choose a team to go on the mission with him; all of the players then vote to approve/deny the questing team. After a team is chosen, just then team then vote to succeed/fail the mission...then on to the next group leader. Rinse and repeat. Once either team completes 3 missions (evil completes a mission by causing it to fail), the game is over. If evil wins, they usually celebrate like the true jerks they are. If good wins, the Assassin and other minions get a chance to guess who was playing Merlin; if a correct guess is made, evil wins. Evil wins a lot in this game, which is probably part of why it can be so fun. Every game also changes depending on which character cards are used and who ends up playing which role.
Once everyone is familiar with play, there are a few other role cards that can be added in to spice things up -- Oberon, Mordred, Morgana, and Percival -- each will change the game play, with an additional note on how to play each of the named characters written on the card. There is a fair amount of strategy that can be incorporated, especially as the more complicated characters and eventually Lady of the Lake (a card used to view other player's roles) are brought into play. If you notice that either good or evil is tending to sweep the missions, the named characters can help balance play in either direction, depending on which ones you add to the role deck.
All in all, I'd definitely recommend this game. We're asked to bring it to every gathering and it hasn't grown stale yet.
The laughs,the betrayal, the lies, the tears, the camaraderie. This is a great game for family and friends.
Be prepared to lie straight to everyone’s faces to make sure you don’t get caught!
10 out of 10!!
This expansion adds a lot of complexity to the game (in a good way), but because you can customize the characters as you like it is very easy to change difficulties.
A brief reviews of the pros and cons:
1) Easy to explain the game and pick up on easily
2) Aesthetics: the look and feel of the tokens was very nice-- even though they were cardboard, they had a matte, weighted feeling that was pleasant to the touch.
3) The game has many variations, and changes depending on what kind of people you are playing with-- it does not get boring quickly
4) The theme of the game-- who doesn't want to be a questing, or thwarting a quest as the "minion of Mordred"
5) 20-30 minute games, a perfect length of time to play multiple rounds, or slip in a quick game between other activities
5) Pairable with other Resistance games
Cons
1) There were too many cards and pieces for a relatively simple game-- I think it could be streamlined and simplified, without losing any of the game's story or function. I found the number of cards and tokens overwhelming and unruly.
2) Materials will most likely wear down over time.
Overall, a great game to play with many ages, for a very decent price. It is now frequently re-QUEST-ed at all our family gatherings.
