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

Sitting down to a familiar, relaxed game night with a clean, updated deck of classic card games.

What players say

Players see this as a downgrade from the classic Hoyle series, with broken rules in Spite & Malice and Bridge, a clunky face creator, and no developer support for reported bugs. The 50 solitaire games are fine, but the trick-taking and multi-player games disappoint.
