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 slow, cerebral wargame where you methodically expand your empire through military and economic decisions across a turn-based world map.

What players say

Players call this a basic Risk-like game from 1985, simple enough that you steamroll the AI quickly. The computer is said to cheat with random territory wipes, and there is only one map. Some recommend it as a co-op board game experience with quick turns.
