France, Alternative Libertaire #223 - Play: Don Eskridge: Resistance (fr)

One of the pleasures that we experience to sit around a table to play a board game from 
interactions with partners. Based on this observation, some games have sought to maximize 
trade. Resistance Don Eskridge, provides participants with no help as their only 
theatrical talents ... to win as a team. The game begins with you entrust a secret part 
that tells you if you are a saboteur leading missions to remove an authoritarian 
government or a mole instead of the latter. Once a camp won three missions, he is declared 
the winner and identities are revealed. Your goal will be to allow or prevent the success 
of these missions (but without burning your possible coverage). Based on the results of 
missions, suspicions will accumulate on your shoulders. This is where your talents 
rhetorician claiming in good faith your allegiance to the cause, or rather pretending to 
serve better the torpedo.

Under the guise jovial, resistance raises questions about the place of the word in a group 
left free. It is not uncommon that some drags lack of consensus or a group to be led to 
his loss by blindly following a talker charismatic but devoid of logical sense. Each-e 
must be careful to identify clues to know right from wrong, but also how to intervene at 
the right time in the discussion to provide assistance to the group. The game is 
particularly interesting to learn to listen while knowing to distance those who give voice 
to impose decisions. Beyond its theme and its visual falsely futuristic Resistance will 
resonate with all those who are interested in tools of discourse as a means of domination.
