Pleasant Dreams (2015)

About this game

Pleasant Dreams is a 1 or 2 player card game placing the players in a dreamworld where they fend off nightmares. Decide whether you want to hold on to pleasant elements of your dream... Anything can come back to haunt! The goal of the game is to trick your opponent into drawing so many nightmarish dream fragments that he or she wakes up. Alternatively you can win the game by being the first player to finish the dream without waking up. Each turn of the game starts with the player deciding how many dream fragments they want to resolve. Pleasant ones help you relax, while the unpleasant ones bring you closer to waking up screaming. You can have some of the cards come back later. These you secretly insert anywhere into the dream deck. Will you play to win or to make your opponent lose?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
