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 and cerebral grand strategy game where you direct Napoleon's campaigns through turn-based moves and quick tactical battles.

What players say

Players praise the game's lightweight, board-game-like strategy but split on its execution. Many enjoy the historical flavor and simple rules, while others find the combat too random and the British navy invincible. Several note you can only play as France and that the game has limited replay value.
