Party Game

The Resistance: Avalon pits the forces of Good and Evil in a battle to control the future of civilization. Arthur represents the future of Britain, a promise of prosperity and honor, yet hidden among his brave warriors are Mordred's unscrupulous minions. These forces of evil are few in number but have knowledge of each other and remain hidden from all but one of Arthur's servants. Merlin alone knows the agents of evil, but he must speak of this only in riddles. If his true identity is discovered, all will be lost.

The Resistance: Avalon is a standalone game, and while The Resistance is not required to play, the games are compatible and can be combined.

This is a re-implementation of the classic team word-guessing hot-potato game Catch Phrase! but all electronic. Players divide into two teams. One team selects the category and presses the start button. An audible timer beeps a count-down while the person holding the device tries to get his team to say the word or phrase on the screen. When he or she is successful, he or she hands the device to the next person on the opposite team. The goal of the round is to not be holding the device when the timer goes off -- though those last furtive seconds can get dicey! When the timer goes off, the opposing team gets a point and (based on what version of the game you are playing) may also have a chance to steal the phrase for an extra point. The first team to reach seven points wins!

The primary differences of this game from its progenitor is the implementation of the electronic device, timer, and substantial word lists. The electronic edition has also spawned several spin-offs and sequels.

Each turn in The Great Persuader, two players – the "Persuaders" – try to convince another player – the "Customer" – either that their "bad" offer (e.g., "Working as a scarecrow") is good for him, or that their "good" offer (e.g., "Winning the lottery") is not what he is looking for. The Customer listens to both Persuaders, then chooses the offer from one of them. In the meantime, all of the other players bet on which Persuader will prevail. The goal of the game is to get the highest score, proving that you are the great persuader!

The Great Persuader includes 220 offers as well as ten rule variants for experienced players.

Yamodo Party Time is the award-winning game of made-up words that will keep everyone laughing. Played in quick rounds, players scramble to create their “best” definition to a made-up word and theme with the hope of being picked by the judge. Be creative, be quick, but when time runs out, the Spindoodler is spun, and the consequences (like having to pass your card) only add to the fun. Write a funny definition, add a quick doodle, and feel free to lobby the judge on why your definition is best. Every round has a new judge, word and theme, so you never know what your mind will draw out!

Crap or Slap! What Would You Do? tests each person's ability to tolerate the strange, the frightening or the annoying. How would you react if... "You wake up in the middle of the night and find a giant tarantula crawling on your bed" or "A vampire starts to sparkle"? The game comes with 250 cards, both containing a situation and a reaction. Active player picks a situation (or a reaction in round 2) and you try to figure out how that person would react (or which situation would prompt that reaction in round 2).
