{"product_id":"coup-the-resistance-universe-game","title":"Coup: The Resistance Universe Game","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTrust No One — But Bluff Like You Own the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou're a member of a shadowy government, holding two secret influence cards that define your power. The catch? Everyone else is doing the same thing — and nobody has to tell the truth. Coup is a razor-sharp game of deception, deduction, and perfectly timed calls of \"I don't believe you.\" When someone's caught in a lie, they lose an influence. Lose both, and you're out. The last player standing wins. It sounds simple, and it is — right up until the moment you have to decide whether the person claiming to be the Duke actually has the Duke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Indie Boards and Cards, Coup is set in the same dystopian universe as The Resistance, though it plays completely on its own. Where The Resistance is a longer team deduction experience, Coup is lean and brutal — a full game typically wraps in 15 minutes, and it plays up to six players with no downtime between rounds. There are just five character types in the deck, each with a distinct ability, and the tension comes not from what's in your hand but from whether anyone believes what you say about what's in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of game that fits in a jacket pocket and causes arguments at the dinner table — in the best possible way. It works brilliantly for four to six players, plays fastest and most chaotically at the higher end of that range, and is genuinely accessible to anyone old enough to keep a poker face. The rules are learned in five minutes, but reading the table takes the whole night. A perfect entry point for anyone curious about social deduction games, and equally satisfying for experienced players who want something fast and vicious between longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card art carries a stylish, slightly sinister aesthetic that fits the setting well, and the compact box means this one travels easily — it's been a consistent hit at game nights, bars, and conventions for years. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e this copy has a small crease in the box as shown in the product photos.
