The idea
Tabletop wargames like Warhammer 40,000 are a lot of fun, but the rules can be intimidating for new players, and games slow down when every attack needs a handful of dice and some mental arithmetic.
Warroll is a guided companion that follows the real attack sequence, from hit rolls to wounds, saves and damage, so players can focus on decisions and tactics. It installs like an app on any phone or tablet, works offline, and lets two players share a live game room.
Features
What we built
Shared game rooms
Both players join the same room and see score, Command Points, battle round and game stage update in real time.
Themed dice bag
Faction-style dice themes, with a purchase and entitlement layer designed in from the start.
Installable and offline-ready
A progressive web app that installs to the home screen and keeps working at the gaming table.
Built for beginners
Common game flow kept close at hand, so newer players spend less time checking rules and more time playing.
Free, community-supported
No ads or paywalls; players who love it can support development through Buy Me a Coffee.
Under the hood
Technology
- React
- TypeScript
- Vite
- Progressive Web App
- Cloudflare Workers
- Durable Objects
- WebSockets
What we learned
- Durable Objects make real-time features surprisingly affordable. Each game room is a single, stateful object at the edge, with no servers to manage.
- Start from the user's real workflow. Modelling the actual attack sequence, rather than a generic dice bucket, is what makes the app genuinely useful.
- Design monetisation in early, even for a free product. A clean entitlement layer means paid features can be added later without a rewrite.
