Somnia

Prepare to dive into the dream world with Somnia, a card game that blends trick-taking tension with the intriguing theme of collecting dream fragments and escaping nightmares. Here, each player starts with 3 lives, and the goal is not to be caught off guard. If you end a round (a 'hand') as one of the 'middlers' – meaning you didn't score the lowest or highest points in that trick – brace yourself, as a life might be lost! And beware, accumulating too many points can also cost you dearly. The game continues until the last breath, or rather, until a player loses all their lives. The cards are divided into four suits, with values ranging from 0 to 20 points. The 'nightmare' suit acts as the trump and its identity changes depending on the first card played when someone cannot follow suit. The coolest part is that the points and values of some cards in the nightmare suit undergo dynamic changes, adding an extra layer of strategy. Somnia is a modern adaptation of classic Swiss trick-taking games like Mittlere Jass and Molotov Jass, with simplified rules and fantastic artwork that makes everything more accessible and visually appealing. There's even an original variant for 2 players, showing the creators' affection for tradition.
