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 relaxed but competitive tile-laying game where you build a territory by trading, pricing, and expanding at a steady pace.

What players say

Players compare Isle of Skye to Carcassonne with a bidding mechanic and enjoy the random victory conditions, but opinions split sharply on the digital version. Many find the interface clunky and buggy, with AI freezing and crashes, while others report a smooth, faithful adaptation. Longtime fans of the board game are especially disappointed by the lack of planned DLC and slow asynchronous play.
