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

You piece together territories like a board game tile puzzle, calmly building a kingdom and managing its prosperity.

What players say

Players describe a short, pleasant tile-placement puzzle that teaches its rules gradually across 50 to 60 levels. They compare it to Carcassonne and Dorfromantik, and note the adventure mode relies on randomness that some find less engaging. Most finish in two to five hours.
