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 a thoughtful, turn-based board game where two differently sized armies pursue a clear goal of capturing or protecting the king.

What players say
Players praise it as the definitive digital version of Hnefatafl, noting the active online community and cross-platform play with the mobile app. The game offers many variants and custom rules, but the AI is tough, and one reviewer says online games are dead. The developer is described as responsive to feedback.
