Start for freeWhat to Expect
You play as a Dreamwalker lost in a mysterious labyrinth, aiming to discover eight Door cards before your dream ends. Navigate through dream chambers, managing your hand carefully to avoid Nightmare cards that haunt the deck. The game supports solo and cooperative modes for one or two players. Multiple modules and mini-expansions add variety and new challenges.
Who Is This Game For?
Onirim suits fans of short, strategic card games aged 10 and up. As a medium complexity game lasting about 15 minutes, it requires little prior experience and appeals to both solo players and pairs looking for tactical depth.
How It Works
Onirim combines cooperative gameplay with hand management, move through deck, and set collection mechanics. Players draw cards, play or discard them to open doors by collecting three cards of the same color or using special Key cards. Nightmare cards hidden in the deck create obstacles, demanding careful decisions. Cooperation is key to finding all eight doors before the deck runs out.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Shadi Torbey, Onirim was nominated for the 2014 Golden Geek Best Solo Board Game and the 2023 5 Seasons Best International Card Game. It blends solo and cooperative mechanics within a unique dream labyrinth setting. The second edition includes several standalone compatible mini-expansions, part of the Oniverse series.
