The Resistance is one of our all-time favourite social deception games, so it gave us no shortage of joy and excitement to hear that designer Don Eskridge is working on a new entry in the genre called Abandon Planet.
In Abandon Planet, four to eight players are stranded together on the eponymous world, which is about to be destroyed by meteors. No biggie, as you have the skills to build a rocket and blast off before being crushed by the falling balls of rock. The problem is, in order to do so, you’ll need to work with one of your companions to gather the resources needed – and they might decide to lie to you in order to steal the spaceship for themselves, falsely leading you to an area of the board that’s about to be struck by a meteor instead of the valuable materials.
