SammyP75: /* 4. Recovery Phase */ The correct number of cards to be drawn is 5

== Resist! ==

'''Resist!''' is a solo card game where the player leads a group of Spanish resistance fighters (Maquis) against the Franco regime. The game ends after a certain number of rounds or if the resistance is crushed.

=== Game Objective ===
Collect as many '''Victory Points (VP)''' as possible by completing missions. The game ends immediately in defeat if 5 civilians are killed or the resistance runs out of cards to draw.

=== Quick Setup ===
* Create a deck of '''Maquis cards'''.
* Set up a display of '''Mission cards'''.
* Place enemies (Civil Guards) face-down on the missions.
* Draw a starting hand of 5 Maquis cards.

=== Game Flow ===
The game is played over several rounds until the player chooses to end the resistance or loses. Each round has four phases:

==== 1. Planning Phase ====
* Play Maquis cards from your hand.
* Each card has two modes: '''Hidden''' and '''Revealed'''.
* '''Hidden:''' Usually provides lower combat values but returns to your discard pile at the end of the round.
* '''Revealed:''' The card is significantly stronger but is permanently removed from the game after the round (it goes to the "sacrifice" pile).
* Use card '''abilities''' (e.g., reveal enemies, draw cards, boost attack values).

==== 2. Attack Phase ====
* Choose one '''Mission''' from the display to attack.
* Calculate your total '''Attack Value''' (sum of all played Maquis values).
* Reveal all enemies defending the chosen mission.
* '''Overcoming Defense:''' You must meet or exceed the mission's defense value to succeed.
* '''Eliminating Enemies:''' You can also use your attack value to permanently defeat individual defenders (Civil Guards).

==== 3. Aftermath Phase ====
* Check the effects of any remaining enemies on the mission (many will attack or kill civilians if not defeated).
* If the mission was successful, take the card for VP. If not, it remains, but you suffer the consequences listed on the card.

==== 4. Recovery Phase ====
* Place all "Hidden" cards into your discard pile.
* Remove all "Revealed" cards from the game.
* Draw a new hand of 5 '''cards'''. If the deck is empty, reshuffle the discard pile (unless specific defeat conditions apply).

=== Card Categories & Symbols ===
* '''Attack Value (Number):''' Your strength during the Attack Phase.
* '''Mission Value:''' The strength required to win the mission.
* '''Civilian Symbol:''' Found on missions or enemies; if 5 of these are lost, the game ends immediately.
* '''Spies:''' These cards clog your deck. They have no combat value and must often be removed using special abilities.

=== End of Game & Scoring ===
The game ends when:
# The player decides to stop the resistance (after any round).
# No more missions are available.
# Defeat conditions are met (5 civilians dead, Maquis deck empty, or 2 missions failed).
* '''Scoring:''' Total the VP of completed missions. Your rank is determined by a table in the rulebook (ranging from "Historical Defeat" to "Resistance Victory").

SammyP75: /* Quick Setup */ I removed the "sequential" phrase as this is not the case - you lose if you EVER fail 2 missions
