It is a dark time in Camelot. (If that sounds familiar, perhaps you recently read this review of another Arthurian-themed traitor game) King Arthur has disappeared, and Mordred is pressing hard against his loyal servants. Unfortunately, Mordred is not waging an all-out war so much as infiltrating the ranks of Arthur's people. Will the loyalists be able to root out the evil minions of Mordred in time, or will they fall prey to their cunning deception? Or, perhaps even worse, will they fail to protect Merlin, their only hope?
In the Resistance: Avalon, an updated version of Don Eskridge's The Resistance, players take on the role of characters in Arthurian times--either loyal servants of Arthur or minions of the evil Mordred.
