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

Playing Blackjack Avenue feels like a low-pressure, visually retro trip to a neon-lit card table where you can focus on the mechanics of blackjack without any real-money tension.

What players say

Players appreciate its aesthetic and music, and find it useful for blackjack practice. However, several report a bug where splitting does not deal a second card automatically, and that insurance is incorrectly offered when the dealer shows a ten instead of only an ace.
