It’s mindnight

Me: ‘yeah we had to start a secret Avalon group that meets on Fridays because people kept gamethrowing’

You:

so, its resistance?
why call it avalon

it’s resistance with a twist: merlin
merlin knows all bads but mordred, but if good wins, first evil then gets one last chance to guess who merlin is: if they guess right, evil wins instead

so its resistance with the chief rules?

idk those
i dont think i’ve ever played resistance.

resistance has a lotta custom roles in the scripted tts version.
one of which is the chief setup in which:
there is a good chief, which knows all the evils (there is a special evil that is undetectable to this one that is optional)

optionally, there is the false chief (evil) and the butler (good). the butler knows who the chief and false chief are, but not which is which

theres also the witness, a good player whose mission vote (aka pass/fail) isnt chosen by themselves. however, they choose another player, and vote whatever they voted

so Mordred, Morgana, and Percival

Also there’s lancelot

i have the expansion

We tried playing with one of the Lancelot variants at least once (we didn’t have the expansion but we looked up the rules and someone wrote GOOD LANCELOT and EVIL LANCELOT on one of the cards) but it wasn’t super popular

yeah fair

it’s discount Resistance

which

to be clear

I have also not played

but like I’m 99% sure you can get a Resistance expansion that just makes it Avalon, but you can also play without that for normal Resistance or with other expansions, so it’s much more modular and so probably just a straight upgrade

yo im pretty sure that avalon isnt its own game and is literally an expansion to the resistance.
not an expansion themed after avalon
avalon itself.

idk but im trying to find avalon itself and all im finding is the resistance

Alternatively you can ignore the rolecards and just play Avalon like base Resistance.

For me it’s just different flavor for the same kind of game. :man_shrugging:

But Avalon has less expansions
