About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever wondered what happens when your dreams grant you power but also threaten to twist your very soul? In Lucidity: Six-Sided Nightmares, you dive into a dream realm filled with vivid hallucinations and dark entities. Your goal is straightforward: gather 15 power symbols to break free from this subconscious prison and wake up. However, the journey is a high-stakes gamble. Each turn, you draw dice from a shared bag, discard two to define your path, and roll the rest. The catch? The deeper you go without resting, the more dice you roll, increasing both your potential gain and your risk of disaster.
Playing it safe by resting allows you to clear your board and maintain control. But if you push your luck too far, you might be corrupted by the realm's darkness. This is where the game takes a sinister turn: if you collect too many wrong symbols, you don't just lose—you transform into a Nightmare. From that moment on, your objective shifts entirely. Instead of escaping, you now hunt the remaining Dreamers, consuming their dreams or sending minions to sabotage their progress. It's a thrilling shift in dynamics where the monster becomes the player. If no one manages to escape by the end, the most powerful Nightmare claims victory. Will you play it safe to wake up, or will you embrace the darkness and become the thing everyone fears? The choice is yours, but remember: without control, you're just someone else's dinner.
