The Resistance

A mobile web version of The Resistance that preserved the in-person board-game feel.

archived

Physical cards from The Resistance board game.
Mobile web interface for playing The Resistance without physical cards.

Why it existed

I loved playing The Resistance, but needing the physical cards made impromptu sessions harder than they needed to be.

The friction it answered

The goal was not to replace the table experience. It was to remove the dependency on cards without compromising the original rules or social flow.

What was built

A jQuery Mobile web app that let a single shared phone handle role assignment and game mechanics while players stayed physically together.

What it left behind

Completed in December 2013 and no longer actively maintained.
