I write, I game, I drink, and I climb.
Sometimes I do some of those at the same time, other times I may do none of them!

Easy to understand
Betrayal!
With the right people it can be a great laugh
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.
