The game is elegant and simple to learn but offers deep strategic decisions about when to take tiles and how to complete patterns.
The Resistance: Avalon
The Resistance: Avalon is a social deduction game where players are Knights of the Round Table on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Hidden among them are spies working for Mordred. Players debate, accuse, and vote to determine who goes on missions. This hidden-identity game is all about reading players and building trust.
