Gabe,
Great interview! Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of Avalon, Resistance, or Werewolf, but I absolutely see the attraction by players. I sat through about five games of Avalon a few weeks ago at a Meet-Up in D.C., and the idea of purposefully lying to the folks around the table while being cross-examined by others didn’t make a for fun-filled experience. I’ll stick to war games and Euros.
Cheers,
Joe
