About

An AR board game for 2–6 phones round one real table. Put a coaster in the middle and a card in front of you; a pinwheel board grows out of the table, spiral paths from every seat into a ring round a ruined citadel where a wyrm is coiled. Everyone rolls at once. Shoot the citadel, shoot the wyrm, shoot the leader — and when an arrow comes for you, your phone shouts INCOMING and you get one tap to parry while the whole table watches it land.

Features

  • ◆Anchored to the table: a coaster marks the centre, a card marks each seat, and every phone sees the same board in the same place
  • ◆Everyone rolls at once, plans in secret and reveals together; Classic mode plays one seat at a time
  • ◆Six heroes, one weapon each: longbow, slingshot, boomerang, shuriken, throwing axe and fire flask
  • ◆Aim a shot with your thumb over your hero's shoulder; every phone animates the same arc
  • ◆INCOMING: when a shot is coming for you, one tap to parry it
  • ◆The Crown: the leader pays double to hit and draws the wyrm's fire
  • ◆Table view: the same board as a 3D scene to turn on the phone, when there is no camera or no anchor

AI & content disclosure

  • ▸The code was written with Claude (Anthropic). No AI runs while you play.
  • ▸The board, the citadel, the wyrm and the heroes are geometry drawn in code; the sound is synthesized in the browser. No generated images, meshes or audio ship.
  • ▸The camera image never leaves your phone: anchors are found on the device. An enrolled card or coaster is shared with the table only as a compact description of its corners and features, not as a picture.
  • ▸No location is asked for.
