Similar to party games like Mafia and Werewolf, The Resistance challenges players' skills of deception, lying, and social deduction to determine who to trust. Agents try to determine who their teammates are and succeed on missions, while Spys must work together to decieve everyone, and fail as many missions as possible. Read the full rules here.
- Full online multiplayer support
- Games for 5-10 players
- Easy-to-learn user interface
- Many games can run simultaneously
The original game concept and rules belong to Don Eskridge, creator of The Resistance / Avalon.
Much of the inspiration for the user interface came from a free-to-play steam game called MINDNIGHT. You should check it out! It has better graphics, cool music, and you can even save your progress.
The Resistance was build with the following technologies
- Frontend: React, React Router, Bootstrap, Konva, Sass, Create React App
- Backend: Node.js, Express, Docker
- Common: Redux Toolkit, Socket.IO, Typescript
The easiest way to build and run this app is to use docker-compose. First download this repository, then run using docker-compose.
$ git clone https://github.com/thesilican/the-resistance.git
$ cd the-resistance
$ docker-compose up --build
