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

Feels like playing a slow, methodical board game of ancient conquest, where careful planning and deliberate moves decide the fate of warring factions.

What players say

Players call it a light, quick wargame focused on Diadochi battles with decent AI. Some find it too basic, criticizing unit positioning and turn-based combat, while others appreciate the easy rules and replayability.
