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

a fast-paced, humorous tactical board game adaptation where dice rolls and quirky units drive small-scale WWII skirmishes.

What players say

Players appreciate this as an adaptation of the physical board game, with puzzle-like small-scale skirmishes and three campaigns. But they consistently report the game was abandoned years ago, with missing DLC, no working online multiplayer, and bugs. Reviews split on its value at full price, recommending it only on sale.
