Easy to understand

Betrayal!

With the right people it can be a great laugh

Not always well balanced, depending on who you play with (0 more)

A quick game of bluff

With Resistance you can expect laughter - genuine, nervous, awkward, or all of the above. It's a relatively simple game to pick up and can be played within half an hour. It's all about trying to bluff and deceive your way to win the game.
You are either a traitor or part of the resistance who go away on small missions, voting for whether the mission fails or succeeds. Only traitors can cause a mission to fail and when it's discovered then that's where the deception comes in.
Who's betrayed the team? There's only one way to find out!

If you fail enough missions without capturing the traitors then they win, but if you manage to find them then the resistance wins. Simple.

Can create your own content (4 more)

Only need the core book, a pen/pencil, and paper to get started

Can always add scenery, figures, etc over time

Plenty of content online

Have as big a world or small a world as you want, you and the other players create it

Can be complex for beginners (1 more)

Can sometimes cause minor arguments

Easily adaptable for any age

Dungeons and Dragons is a massive table top game. You can stick to the core games all you want, or create your own content and game. For anyone with even a small amount of creativity, it's amazing.
This will probably be one of my poorer reviews, as D&D is so huge it's hard to describe it. You and your party can be a mix of fighters, rogues, magic users and all sorts, fighting off the dead, dragons, bandits, werewolves, goblins, and more. And while you do it, it's more than likely going to cause hilarity, and some exciting, tense moments.
It can be almost anything you want it to be.
