## Description
Onirim invites you to become a Dreamwalker lost in a labyrinth of dreams, where each corridor holds secrets and doors that must be discovered before the dreamtime runs out. The game is played with a deck of cards that includes doors, keys, moons, suns, and nightmares that appear randomly, requiring you to plan your moves carefully. On each turn you can choose to explore a room, use key cards to open doors, or wait for same‑color cards to appear in sequence to reveal a door. The hand‑management mechanic forces you to decide when to discard valuable key cards or keep color cards for future combinations, while nightmares add a risk element that can delay your progress. The game can be played solo or cooperatively with a partner, both competing against the game itself to collect the eight doors before the deck runs out. Three independent mini‑expansions expand the experience: “The Towers” brings cards that allow more searching and deck manipulation, “Happy Dreams and Dark Premonitions” adds time‑bombs that block progress at predictable moments and allies that can be helpful or treacherous, and “The Book of Steps Lost and Found” introduces a random order of doors and the possibility of using discarded cards to cast spells that help complete the mission. Each expansion keeps the essence of exploration, strategic planning, and card management, but requires you to adapt your strategies to new challenges. Onirim delivers a short experience, about 15 minutes, that combines fantasy, labyrinth exploration, and a dose of psychological tension, making it an excellent game for those who enjoy mental challenges and immersive dream narratives.
