Resistance: Hostile Intent – 3 New Modules for the Base Game
The Resistance: Hostile Intent expansion adds three new modules to your base game: Hunter, Reverser, and Inquisitor. Each module introduces a fresh way to play, shifting the strategies for both the Resistance and the spies. If you want more layers of deduction and uncertainty in your games, this pack delivers that.
What do the three modules do?
- Hunter Module: Both teams must identify a specific opponent player to win. That target becomes the focus of every mission.
- Reverser Module: A Reverser can flip the outcome of any mission, turning success into failure or failure into success.
- Inquisitor Module: One player gets the power to check another player's true affiliation, giving them a rare piece of hard information.
How each module changes the game
Hunter Module: Both teams have a secret target from the opposing side. The first team to correctly identify their target wins. This shifts focus from passing missions to reading a single opponent's tells. You'll find yourself studying one player's reactions more than usual.
Reverser Module: One or more players are Reversers. They can flip a mission's outcome after it's resolved. This power is best used sparingly—the moment everyone expects a flip, the mind games begin.
Inquisitor Module: The Inquisitor can privately check another player's affiliation. That single piece of truth can break a stalemate or confirm a suspicion. But using it publicly marks you as the Inquisitor, making you a target.

Which module makes the game most chaotic?
That depends on your group. The Reverser module creates the biggest surprises because a mission that seemed secure can flip in an instant. The Hunter module forces everyone to focus on one player, which changes the flow of accusations. The Inquisitor gives concrete info but at the risk of being discovered.
