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.

About

Your mama told you not to go around breaking hearts. But in Hardwood Hearts, that’s what it’s all about! Try to take as few points as possible… unless you want to shoot the moon. If you take all the points in a moon shot, the points go to your opponents! Up the stakes even more with Spot Hearts, where heart cards are worth their face values, the queen of spades is worth 50, and a moon shot earns your foes a whopping 150 points! And don’t forget to congratulate your friends--or irritate your opponents--with a clever foom!
