Dreamscape

Collect dreamshards, arrange them to create your dreamscape, and stroll along them to obtain a good night sleep. For 2 to 4 players, a 20-minute-per-player playtime, Dreamscape is a game with deep mechanisms that ask you to be smart enough to manage optimally the creation of your small dream universe. Dreamscape offers an experience that cannot be compared to any other game, with a unique combination of route-planning, resource collecting, 3D building, and clever use of powers. In the end, the wonderful dreamscapes you will create will leave you with a magical feeling, constantly remodeling and renewed. A game of Dreamscape lasts 5 rounds in which you will start with your Sleeper collecting dreamshards in the Dreamworld. These small essences of dreams are represented by wooden tokens of different colors; blue for water, brown for lands, grey for rocks, green for grass (and even red for nightmares in the advanced rules). With those precious shards, you will be able to build many shapes of landscapes in which your Dreamer will search for enjoyable viewpoints; that will be your Dreamscape. Even if you are always completely free to model your Dreamscape, Dreamcards will lead your creations and travels, and make you score Slumber Points once completed. And to help you in your dreams, mighty powers can be used in the visited locations and with each card. The Travel Fase During the travel phase, you may perform up to 5 actions to collect and move through the Dreamworld. The tricky part is that you can only collect the rightmost shard, and so on. Furthermore, you can not collect more than 2 shards of each color, so you have to manage your moves cleverly to get a hand on all the shards you need. Once collected, your shards are put in your Collect Zone, ready to help you. They will be useful to enter a location without spending action points, but you can also use them to activate powers on Dreamcards, and obviously to build you Dreamscape in the Creation phase. Nighmare Fase Once your moves in the Dreamworld are done, Mr. Nightmare will move too. His presence on any location prevents the players to use the power of this location, and he will also kindly leave a special gift: a Nightmare shard. Any player passing through one of them must take it, with no action cost. But believe me, those gifts are really not the best ever, as each of them in your Dreamscape will cost you negative points at the end of the game. Obviously, you will have some ways to get rid of them, don't be scared! Mr Nightmare forms an optional layer of challenge in Dreamscape for advanced players. When you allow Mr. Nightmare to wander around the Dreamworld, no dream will be safe anymore... Creation Fase Now we are in the very purpose of collecting shards, the Creation phase. All the shards you have in your Collect Zone may be used to build you
