you are saying that to a priest who allows his daughter to play an high priest of an archdevil

#202

That’s why I don’t have it, but made sure my friend has it. :smile:

Expansions can also solve that to a degree.

#203

oh yeah. it reminds me a bit of playing codenames as the codemaster

#204

You’re acting like people should conflate fiction and reality :thinking:

#205

Until you’ve played them

#206

Well, it is a way to actively change your personality, so yes, a little bit

#207

I think most people are perfectly capable of separating fantasy from reality, and capable of playing a role for entertainment that they do not then feel any need to fulfill in real life.

Those that aren’t are the exception, not the rule.

okay so here’s the Avalon thing

The Resistance: Avalon came out before the expansion that added literally everything in it but in the Resistance theme and using resistance card backs, then added the Lady of the Lake mechanic into the base game of The Resistnace.

But at that point it was the only official way to play with the Merlin rules, and those rules were more popular for a long enough time that when the reflavoured reimplimentation had its’ special mechanics supplanted back into the original nobody really cared.

it’s one of the dumbest things in board gaming, but I can’t help but think of those rules as the Avalon rules even if I have a copy of the original Resistance.

#210

so im told avalon has one less mechanic than resistance.
which mechanic

#211

by that i mean one mechanic lost.
not referring to added mechanics

#212

yeah i don’t think that’s a thing
let me check

#213

Base resistance has everyone vanilla, avalon actually adds roles. Avalon introduced mechanics not removed them. Further expansions on resistance copied Avalon and added some more I think.

#214

i think it’s just that the resistance for quite a while had a different expansion inside of Lady of the Lake and that rule was dropped in Avalon

#215

im quoting what orange told me. thats what i thought but he said otherwise so i asked

#216
