The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a tense, strategic simulation of asymmetric warfare where player choices shape a global conflict.

What players say

Players praise the board game itself but say the digital version is abandoned and buggy, with several cards that do not work and no plans for the physical game's expansions. The AI is only implemented for one side, and the missing Jihadist bot makes solo play feel incomplete.
