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.

What players say

Players call this a faithful digital version of the GMT board game, with the computer handling the record keeping so a full game finishes in an hour or two. They split on the AI and interface: some find controls clunky and the AI weak, others praise the developer for quickly fixing issues. A few complain the random dice can feel unfairly harsh, and many want the expansions added.
