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.

What players say

Players praise the level of historical detail and the playability on the tactical level, singling out the Penobscot Expedition scenario. The learning curve is less steep than expected, but the game is slow-paced and aimed at dedicated wargamers. The AI is decent, though players note some bugs like capturing the enemy commander.
