WHY RENT THIS ONE

Why it's worth a spot on your weekend

“The family game where ‘trust me’ is definitely suspicious.”

If your group loves bluffing, deduction, and trying to figure out who is lying, The Resistance turns an ordinary game night into a table full of suspicious glances. There is very little setup, so you can get right into the social drama of choosing teams, voting on missions, and wondering whether the person sitting next to you is secretly working against everyone.

It's a great rental for teens and adults who enjoy games where reading the people around the table matters just as much as the cards in your hand. Just remember: accusations are part of the game. Family grudges are not.

Good to know

  • Table space

    Fits on a small table, or a lap if it comes to that.

  • Reading load

    There is real reading involved — not the best pick if someone at the table is still learning to read.

  • Getting knocked out

    Nobody gets knocked out. Everyone plays to the last turn.

  • Pausing mid-game

    Easy to pause. If someone has to step out, the table survives.

  • Setup time

    About 5 minutes of setup before anyone touches a piece.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Renting, answered

Can I rent The Resistance near Plattekill?

Yes — The Resistance is part of the Deep Space Family Games game shelf, available to rent by the night around Plattekill and the wider Hudson Valley area. Roughly 30 minutes out from Plattekill in every direction — delivery and local pickup only. Nothing to walk into.

Is requesting The Resistance a real reservation?

No — every button on this page is a request, not a booking. Deep Space Family Games doesn't run live availability, so we confirm by hand once you tell us you want The Resistance and when.

What happens if a piece from The Resistance goes missing?

The Resistance, like every game on the shelf, is counted against a written list before it goes out and again when it comes back, so a missing piece is a conversation with a number behind it, not a guess.
