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.

What players say

Players praise the sheer variety of chess variants and the ability to combine them, but nearly everyone reports that the online multiplayer is empty, making it hard to find opponents without hosting and waiting.
