Get some (6) friends together

This game is an online social deduction game for 6 players and best played with other people. While CPU players will fill any empty slots, it is highly recommended to play with only human players, as this game heavily relies on communication and the interpersonal aspects of the social deduction genre.
Our CPU implementation is sadly incredibly basic due to the time constraints of the jam and pretty much just takes random actions.

How To Play

The Goal

In "Sylvanis Spirits" you play as the Guardian-Spirits of the great tree Sylvanis.
However recently the Sylvanis has been damaged by some Mischievous Spirits who want to disturb the balance of your forest.

The Guardian Spirits

As a keeper of the balance it is your task to make sure that Sylvanis can flourish again by providing it with all our the resources it requires to grow to its formed glory, while preventing the saboteurs from gathering enough resources to accomplish their own nefarious goal. To do this you have to collaborate with your fellow Guardian Spirits and allow them to take some of the groups resources to build up their islands.

The Mischievous Spirits

As a mischievous spirit it is your goal to collect all the resources required for your nefarious plans to disturb the balance of the forest, while blending in with the Guardian Spirits so that you can get resources from the group.

Collectors

The Spirits islands are full of resources ready to be collected for Sylvanis. Each resource has a corresponding collector that collects 1-3 of its resource from neighbouring tiles at the start of each turn based on how many matching tiles neighbour it.

Converters

Sylvanis and the nefarious plans of the evil spirits both require more complex resources that what can be found in the forest so the Spirits can build special stations that take 2 base resources and convert them into a refined resource which can then be pledged towards either teams goals.

Submitting Petitions

Since no single Guardian Spirit has all of the resources required for any of the more elaborate buildings, collaboration is the key to advancing in this game. During the petition phase each Spirit can ask to place a building on any of the Spirits islands using any of the Spirits resources.
When a majority of the spirits agree on a proposition the required resources, if available, are taken from the players inventory and the building is built. If not, the petition fails.

Accusing Impostors

If at any point in the game the Guarian Spirits think they know who the two Mischievous Spirits are, they can, once per-game per-player, accuse two spirits of disturbing the balance. If all players agree with the accusation, the game ends right then and there, with the Guardians winning if the accusation was correct and the Mischievous Spirits winning otherwise.
