In Dreams is a slightly surreal storytelling game for one, which uses vivid imagery and evocative prompts to immerse you in a dreamworld you wouldn’t have otherwise imagined. In this storytelling solo game, the player writes a story in which a character in a dreamworld must complete a specific goal before waking. The player begins by drawing cards to create a randomized character with a starting temperament. Card draws will also determine the goal the character must achieve by the dream's end in order for the player to win. Storytelling then begins by drawings cards to create an Encounter. An Encounter consists of 2-4 short prompts as well as a location. All Encounter cards include surreal artwork to help inspire fresh and creative interpretations each game. The player must immediately write about the generated Encounter, including all of the prompts and the location while attempting to move the character closer to their goal. Some Encounters will prompt the player to generate an Event. Two cards from the Event deck will determine what is happening as well as the tone. These cards too include surreal artwork for inspiration. Events are resolved in the same manner as Encounters. The game continues, with the player drawing and resolving Encounters and Events through storytelling until the character's goal is met.

On the riverbanks of Limbo, cloaked and masked individuals patiently wait for a sign from you. At a wave of your hand, you will place them in one of the boats that are bobbing on the oddly colored water below. Most of these figures are honest and good Souls that try to reach the eternal bliss of the Afterlands beyond. Some, however, are devious Demons that hope to get smuggled across by one of your corrupted colleagues! So who do you trust and why? Which boat can be safely sent out? Or maybe it's you that is working in secret with the other Demon smugglers in play... Each round, passengers are placed facedown in one of two boats. When placed, unique Gifts are collected that will help their owner to figure out who might be trusted and which boat will score highest for their team. Finally, all players will vote on the boat that they will sent out to the Afterlands. Passengers is a game of tactical communication, about knowing when to share information and when to remain silent. When to be honest and when to bluff in order for your team to win.
