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 measured, tactical fantasy wargame where each move and attack feels carefully weighed, with a slight edge from special abilities that don't cost a turn.

What players say

Players say this expansion is noticeably easier than the original Elven Legacy, mainly because the hero is overpowered. It adds no new gameplay mechanics, just a short campaign of about 14 missions. Some praise its Panzer General-like strategy, while others find it uneventful and note that the hardest difficulty feels untested.
