About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever thought about diving into the subconscious to heal traumas? In Dreamworld, you step into the shoes of a follower of Freud's theories, striving to prove yourself as the most insightful therapist of the era. The goal is straightforward yet requires cunning: you must interpret your clients' dreams to help them recover from psychological distress, turning symbols into healing.
The game's dynamics revolve around fast-paced and tense rounds. Each player secretly chooses a dream card from their hand, and on the signal, everyone reveals their choices simultaneously. The trick lies in the organization: the cards are arranged numerically next to the current client. The numerical gap between your card and the next one in the sequence determines how many treatment tokens you can score. In other words, the bigger the 'hole' between the numbers, the more points you rake in.
It's the kind of game where you need to read the table and predict your opponents' moves. If you're too bold or too cautious, you might end up with very few tokens. Victory goes to the first person to complete all their treatment tokens, proving that your interpretations were the most precise. With games lasting about 30 minutes, it's the perfect choice for those looking for a strategic filler with an intriguing theme and mechanics that aren't heavy but still make you think through every move. Get your mind ready, analyze the symbols, and try to outsmart your colleagues!
