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.

About

Magical Speed is a 1994 card game where players control Nicole or Claire in a quest to find the legendary Rainbow Card. The gameplay centers on a variant of the classic Speed card game, where players race to empty their hand and field cards before their opponent. Strategic card sequencing triggers demon attacks that hinder opponents, adding a competitive twist to the traditional Speed formula.
