The Resistance: Hidden Agenda

About this expansion

The Resistance: Hidden Agenda is an expansion for 5–10 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. It adds three modular ways to change the roles, loyalties, and mission decisions in The Resistance.

The Assassin Module brings the exciting roles from The Resistance: Avalon into The Resistance universe. These Avalon roles are rethemed and renamed to fit the setting, offering new character options for groups familiar with the original game.

The Defector Module includes two variants. In one, the Defectors can switch allegiance during the game, making it difficult for players to know who can be trusted. In the other, the two Defectors know each other from the beginning, ensuring that suspicion and accusations can start immediately.

The Trapper Module changes how proposed Mission Teams work. Each team includes one extra person who will not go on the mission. The leader isolates a team member and watches their every move, creating a difficult choice: a spy on the team may cause a mission to fail, or reveal their identity through their actions.

• Assassin Module: Avalon roles adapted for The Resistance
• Defector Module: two variants featuring changing or shared loyalties
• Trapper Module: an extra proposed team member and a leader-selected isolation

Resistance members may need to approve missions while knowing a spy is present, trusting the leader to isolate the right person. The Resistance: Hidden Agenda includes 25 new cards, measuring 89mm by 64mm, along with one team token.

The first printing omitted the rules for optional character powers; those rules are available elsewhere on the relevant site.
