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 chaotic board game come to life, where luck and strategy mix in a competitive race for the Crown of Command.

What players say

Players say it is a faithful port of the classic board game, but many complain the user interface is terrible. The random dice rolls cause frequent frustration and arguments among friends, yet the game remains oddly addicting with long sessions enabled by expansions.
