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.

What players say

Players are divided on One Deck Galaxy. Many find it far more complex and difficult than One Deck Dungeon, with some calling it an unbalanced mess where early encounters can end a game before it begins. Others appreciate the deeper strategic depth, especially once the steep learning curve is overcome, and praise the digital version for automating the fiddly physical rules.
