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 tense political tug-of-war where you navigate the brinkmanship and shifting loyalties of a nation on the edge of collapse.

What players say
Players say this is a fast, easy-to-learn card-driven board game port, but many find the theme poorly connected to the mechanics and the outcome too dependent on luck. Reviews split on whether the AI is fair or biased toward the Union, and the multiplayer matchmaking is reportedly empty.
