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 tense, asymmetric duel of hidden information and careful positioning where every move feels like a calculated risk.

What players say
Players praise this as a polished conversion of a classic board game, originally themed after Lord of the Rings. The hidden-information gameplay is deep and asymmetric, with unique character abilities for each side. A good tutorial eases newcomers into the system, though some wish for a story campaign and more graphics settings.
