In Dreamscape, you embody a dreamer on a fantastic journey to collect dreamshards and construct 3D dreamscapes. Get ready to explore mysterious locations, such as the lair of the Clockwork Golem, while planning your moves and spending your precious action points to gather the coveted shards. But beware! The dreaded Mr. Nightmare lurks around, ready to disrupt your plans and infest your most beautiful dreams.
The game unfolds over six exciting rounds, each divided into two crucial phases. In the Travel phase, you'll wander through the dreamworld, using the unique abilities of each location to optimize your shard collection.

Score points by completing the objectives listed on your personal cards, and don't forget that the powers of the locations you visited can be essential for shaping your ever-evolving Dreamscape. Furthermore, common goals for all players ensure that each game brings new challenges and influences your decisions. Dreamscape offers a truly unique gaming experience, combining route planning, resource management, and the satisfaction of building your own miniature dreamworld. Prepare for a magical and renewed feeling with each new creation!
