25th Century Games Resist Ages 10+ | Solo Strategy Card Game – Spanish Maquis Resistance

Immerse yourself in a historical solo strategy experience

Spain in 1936 is the backdrop for Resist, a solitaire card game from 25th Century Games. You step into the boots of Maquis resistance fighters who fought in the mountains after the Civil War, using wit and strategy rather than overwhelming force. The game balances a strong historical mood with tight, card-driven decisions that keep you guessing as you play.

In Resist, you pilot a small, determined crew through a sequence of missions. Each round tests your ability to manage scarce resources while deciding when to press the march or call a retreat. The core twist is a deck-management mechanic: as you reveal powerful Maquis abilities, the corresponding fighters are permanently removed from your deck for the rest of the game. That ticking clock reinforces careful planning and makes every choice feel meaningful.

What you experience at the table

• Fast-paced solo play that rewards deliberate planning and precise timing
• Resource limits that force you to prioritize where to invest in a mission
• Mission-based progression with escalating difficulty across rounds
• A unique deck system where powerful actions eventually deplete your roster
• A historical atmosphere you feel through thematic cards, art, and narration

How a typical session unfolds

• Draw from a compact deck, assess the board, and map a course of action
• Encounter threats and resolve battles using smart play rather than brute force
• Decide when to press forward for a longer campaign or end the resistance with honor
• Track progress through missions, noting how each decision shifts your odds and deck composition
• Summon moments of tension as your remaining Maquis fighters offer limited, high-impact abilities

Resist is designed for solo players who appreciate narrative-driven strategy, compact rule sets, and a strong sense of historical mood. While outcomes aren’t guaranteed, the game offers meaningful decisions, varied campaigns, and replayability with each run. It’s well-suited for a focused game night, a quiet afternoon, or any time you want a solo challenge that feels both thoughtful and atmospheric.
