What's the difference between Resistance and Avalon? Which one has more fun?

If you're looking to buy one or the other, I'd recommend going with Avalon. Simply because you can take out all the extra character cards and the lady of the lake and play it just like the original resistance. I also recommend playing it that way until everyone is comfortable with the original concept before adding in the extra stuff from Avalon. Avalon just offers so much more variety to the game. If you start getting bored with the original there's always a new character to add in that will spice the game back up.

I would go with 3 or 4 times heavier. There is a notable weight difference between regular and not. Though unlike the previous answer I have not had any issues with resistance the ride is the same as was before. However I have a beach cruizer and it it might just be the bike type.

I've used both and I really can't tell the difference. Both are far superior to DE.

System-wise, there is no difference. The primary difference is the theme of the game. "Edge" is more of a game dealing with smugglers and scouts and those who are living in the shadows. "Age" is more of a military-based game where the PCs are actual members of the Rebel Alliance. The games are certainly compatible (and there is, I believe, a third on the way that details more of the Force) and can be seen as facets of an overall whole.

It depends on what your looking for. Personally I would get v because its got a selection of characters you can play as, as well as an interesting story line. Plus the online game play is fun.

If you want variety or just a change of pace I recommend purchasing Forbidden Desert as it is similar to Forbidden Island. Our son introduced us to Forbidden Desert first then when we were purchasing a few games we decided to get the Island version. Personally I like Forbidden Desert better than Forbidden Island but it may just come down to personal preference. Go for it!

No question about it. The European game is far richer and more nuanced (because of the varied geography). The US one is more monotone; get the European version.

I recommended the Line 6 UX2! Awesome interface, easy to use, looks awesome as well. And cheap!

The RCT games are very forgiving if you have a higher operating system than the one(s) listed. I play RCT2 on Windows 8 and it's great! However, you might need to get used to the Error Trapper bugging you once in a while - it's nothing you haven't seen already if you've played RCT on a lower version of Windows.

Considering the size of your gaming group I would definitely get Intrigue first so you can get two games going simulataneously.I like JMac prefer Seaside to Intrigue -- and although I haven't played it yet would get Prosperity next.Alchemy is fun, but more of an advanced set and I would get it last.ed

Did anyone ever figure out why the resistance and computer resets? I cannot get the resistance up at all.

Do Not Get this piece of crap! Broke the first time I used it. Get the Assenmacher Brand one...part #ASSTOY640. It will fit your Avalon

YES. This is a completely different game than "The Resistance" though the genre or style is the same. Both are bluffing games and feature the same style of art and design. Each has its own mechanics, however, that do not overlap. The Resistance is a team-based game that unfolds over several rounds. Coup is a one-round individual game. The "roles" in The Resistance consist of team "Good" and "Bad" basically, but in Coup each player is assigned two out of five roles that each has its own set of actions, counteractions, and inherent weaknesses. Another important thing for play with my younger family members, as we discovered: it is entirely possible to win Coup without lying!

From everything I am seeing and reading it will not run well. In some of the forums they give to tricks and twists to try but they don't sound too easy or appealing to me. I guess it boils down to how badly you want to play it. I hope this helps.

Yes! I just tried it out. Played Resistance 3 and Killzone 3, both looked great in 3D.

You can have any number from 5 to 10. But 10 is the max. With more players, the number of players that go on missions is higher. You still have to win 3 out of 5 missions! It's more fun and difficult with more players because you have more spies. For example, with a nine player game, you have 4 spies, if I remember right so, it gets harder to trust people. I hear Avalon which is a variant of this game has a new character that makes game play more interesting!
