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 quick, competitive card game where you build armies and sabotage opponents in colorful, lighthearted sci-fi skirmishes.

What players say

Players praise it as a lightweight, fast-paced card game set in the Sword of the Stars universe, though they note the story connection is minimal. Reviews split on strategy: some find the cards balanced, while others say random draws dominate, like nuke cards wiping out armies.
