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 slow, deliberate war game that immerses you in the logistical and tactical challenges of a forgotten colonial campaign.

What players say

Players praise this wargame for its deep historical treatment of the East Africa campaign, with asymmetric gameplay where the outnumbered Germans rely on raids and supply cutting. The card system adds tactical depth, but some report crashes after turn 24 in a campaign, especially on long playthroughs.
