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 turn-based wargame where you carefully position units on a grid to replicate a historical Civil War battle.

What players say

Players praise the easy-to-learn turn-based hex gameplay and find the campaign addictive, with fans of the developer's other Civil War titles especially satisfied. However, a note of frustration appears: the game became unplayable after a November 2024 update, and some players dislike the flag design.
