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 calm, contemplative card game where you carefully build a nature preserve by attracting birds, balancing strategy with a soothing, gentle pace.

What players say

Players love it as a faithful, relaxing digital adaptation of the board game, especially for learning the rules or playing with faraway friends. However, some report that the AI is slow and online multiplayer suffers from crashes and bugs that can ruin matches.
