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 feels like commanding units with methodical, turn-based decisions in a historically grounded board game adaptation.

What players say
Players are split on whether the game captures the board game's spirit, but many report bugs like broken AI, card glitches, and freezes. Some also note the lack of multiplayer and a clunky interface.
