PLAYED FOR YOU

Onirim

dreamwalker Search for portals

You are a dream walker in a labyrinth and must discover the Oneiran Portals before the dream time ends and you are caught forever in the labyrinth. The game features 76 cards for the basic game, 10 cards for the expansion “Happy Dreams” and 12 cards each for the expansions “The Towers” and “Dark Premonitions”. You play either alone or a cooperative game for two.

You start with five cards in hand. One turn consists of placing a labyrinth card or discarding a labyrinth card, drawing a card and shuffling Limbo into the stack. You place card next to card, the symbol on a new card must be different to the symbol on the previously placed card. Cards placed into Limbo are out of play to the end of the turn. If you manage to place the third card of a color in a row – they need not feature all different symbols, A-B-A is valid – immediately next to each other, you search a portal of that color in the stack and lay it out. If you discard a key you can look at the top five cards in the stack; you discard one and replace the other ones in any order. Portal cards that you draw allow you to discard a key. Dream cards are implemented immediately – the can be resolved by discarding a key, discarding a portal, look at cards in the draw-pile or discard hand cards. When all eight portals are laid out, you win instantly. If you have to draw the last card, you lose. In a game for two you lay out two rows and win with four different portals for each player.

The allure of the game is in the optimum resolving of the dream cards with the loss of as few cards as possible! A nice and very decorative version of Solitaire!
