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 light card game where you connect puzzle-shaped cards, weighing risk and effect, trying to discard your hand before opponents.

What players say

Players call it a chaotic party card game that is simple to learn but has hidden depth. It shines with friends but is nearly dead online, so multiplayer requires a group. The art is charming and the randomized effects create unpredictable, funny moments.
