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 calm, thoughtful board game experience that feels like reviving ancient history through simple but layered tactics.

What players say
Players praise it as a faithful digital version of the ancient game that even prompted some to buy a physical board. The workshop and custom maps are popular, though a few wish for bigger board sizes in the editor. Gameplay is smooth but pieces lack movement animation, making it easy to miss opponent moves.
