Ep 93 - In Dreams: A Slightly Surreal Storytelling Game for One

Welcome to Second Star to the Left! Here’s where we share board game reviews, ramblings, and a few wrong turns along the scenic route!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
In Dreams, is a slightly surreal storytelling game for one and the winner of the 2022 54-Card Game Design Contest on BoardGameGeek. The core deck of In Dreams provides card-based journaling prompts with vivid imagery and evocative text to immerse you in a dreamworld you wouldn’t have otherwise imagined. 36 prompt cards each have 4 prompts on them, and a location on the back. 18 event cards have 3 events each, modified by six possible "tones". The cards chain together in interesting ways to create millions of potential unique encounters. The dreamscape is fluid and surreal. Close your eyes and let the dream carry you through worlds never before imagined…

This is so pretty. I enjoyed Billy's story

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Billie is much better at storytelling than I am! She's an amazing writer. 🧡

[@tristanbrown]

We need Billie''s Storybook Corner lol

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[@malvinafis6907]

Billie, your story telling is amazing. So much loking forward to play more rpg with you again.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

She does a great job!

[@MrJmarzetti]

Thanks for this review! Definitely something different and an interesting concept. Ultimately, probably not for me, but it got thinking about what a game like this could look like for visual artist block....something I can relate to now and again. 😊

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Visual artist block seems like it would be just as frustrating as writer's block! Anything to get things started again is great. This game isn't going to be for everyone, but it's going to be a great fit for some. Plus, I get to have Billie create stories and settings. 🧡

[@ghostly.ash.]

oh wow this is so cool!! the art is gorgeous i love this a lot! i'm gonna have to get this

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It really is beautiful!

[@garytheosophilus]

Wow, Billie is a really good storyteller! I understand why she likes RPGs.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

She is very talented! I'm a bit biased 😉 but I am always amazed at her ability to create a settng.
