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 turn-based sports strategy game that feels like a chaotic, violent board game where tactical decisions and brutal hits go hand in hand.

What players say

Players praise the faithful tabletop adaptation and the variety of 23 races, but they are split on the punishing RNG, some find it brutally addictive while others call it a luck simulator. A real-time blitz mode offers an alternative for those who dislike turn-based dice rolls. Long-time players call this the best Blood Bowl game, though some report crashing.
