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

Playing feels like commanding miniature armies on a historical map, balancing careful planning with the chaos of colonial warfare.

What players say

Players appreciate it as a faithful digital version of the board game with good AI and replayability, but many report that multiplayer is broken and achievements were removed by the developer.
