* InstantWinCondition: Can happen for the Resistance, if the spies play ''really badly''. It requires that a spy be randomly selected as the first team leader, chose ''only'' other spies as team-mates, and ''then'' that every spy turns in a fail card. That this involves ComicallyMissingThePoint of the game does not prevent it from occurring.

Added DiffLines:
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: An alternative win condition for the spies is to cause so much distrust and disagreement among the rest of the players that nobody can get a team approved to go on a mission.

''Avalon'', a version of the game set in [[Myth/ArthurianMythology Camelot]], was released in 2012. Here, players are either loyal to King Arthur's court or to Mordred, who is trying to take Camelot. ''Avalon'' introduces additional roles to complicate the game, such as Merlin, who knows who the spies are, and Oberon, a secret servant of Mordred.

''The Resistance'' is a {{Social Deduction| Game}} board game for 5-10 players. It was designed by Don Eskridge and released in 2010.
The game is set in an Empire that the titular Resistance is trying to defeat. Players are either Resistance operatives or Imperial spies. The spies know who their compatriots are. Every round, a selected group of players go on a missions, which must be approved by the team. The spies can choose to sabotage the mission at the risk of revealing their allegiances; a successful mission means a point for the Resistance, while a sabotaged mission means a point for the spies. Resistance operatives must use the information gained from mission planning and operations to deduce the traitors. The game ends when one side wins three points.
There are expansion packs (''Hidden Agenda'', ''Hostile Intent'', and ''The Plot Thickens'') that add additional gameplay elements.

!!Tropes in the original game and expansion packs:
* DeepCoverAgent: The ''Hidden Agenda'' expansion pack adds a "Deep Cover" role, who can hide themselves from the Commander (who knows who the spies are). This is analogous to the Oberon ''Avalon'' card.
* TheEmpire: The Resistance is trying to defeat the implicitly evil Empire.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: The heroic Resistance members are blue, while the traitorous Empire spies are red.
* TheMole: Some players (randomly chosen) are the Resistance, and some are The Mole. The aim of the resistance is to accomplish at least three out of five missions. The aim of the traitors is to sabotage at least three missions.
* RecycledWithAGimmick: ''Avalon'' punts the concept of ''The Resistance'' to [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Camelot]]. The Resistance becomes Arthur's loyalists, while the Imperial Spies become Mordred's forces. It also introduces new roles, such as Merlin and Percival.
* LaResistance: The goal of the Resistance is to topple the Empire. Unfortunately, there are spies in their midst.
* SocialDeductionGame: There are spies (informed minority) within a greater group of Resistance agents (uninformed majority); the latter only knows how many spies there are and not who is one. Players go on 'missions' that must be approved by the group; during the mission, 'good' members turn in Mission Success cards while spies can sabotage the mission by turning in a Mission Fail card (at the risk of their identity being exposed). The game continues in this manner until one team gets three points.
* WildCard: The Rogue module puts a wild card on both teams, who have their own agendas and win conditions separate from the Resistance or the Empire.
!!Tropes in ''Avalon'':
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Evil sorceress Morgana has black sclera.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The leader of the bad guys, Mordred, has chalk-white skin and jet-black hair. Contrast with Arthur, who is handsomely tanned.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: The Lady of the Lake role art is a beautiful woman in water whose back is uncovered by the cloth she brings up to her chest.
* StaringThroughTheSword: The Assassin card art has the blade in between the Assassin's bright red eyes.
