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 methodical hex-grid wargame where you command historical armies with realistic reinforcement timings, simulating the tension of a pivotal battle.

What players say

Players call this a faithful but lightweight digital version of a classic magazine wargame, with a corps-level scope and only a dozen or so counters per side. Reviews praise the fast play and low price, but split on the AI: some find it a hopeless opponent best for human vs. human play.
