Ivan Lashin, the notable designer of Furnace, Mobile Markets, and Skytopia among others, has confirmed a new project that once again tries to color outside the lines of established board gaming wisdom. At least thematically, Neodreams already promises to be something to keep an eye out for.
Create a Dream World for Your Customers
The game’s description is succinct, with 2-4 players creating and providing Dreams to customers with worker placement set aside as the game’s core mechanic. Lashin lets his imagination roam three in designing the game and weaving its plot, which outlines a utopian future in which minds can be connected with machines while dreaming thanks to a contraption known as Oneiroshunt.
People want to buy various dreams that tickle their fancy and fulfil various ambitions, and some companies are happy to use the Oneiroshunt to get them just that. Crafting and selling dreams has now become a booming business, with companies vying to offer the best service.
Customers want to travel to extraordinary locations or overcome their fears while having a shut-eye, and this is precisely what you will deliver. Each player will play as the CEO of a company that sells dreams through the Oneiroshunt. But to make it work, you will also need to gather resources to provide your customer base with a quality product.
Accumulate the Most Wealth and Win
The end game is very simple – collect the most wealth from selling dreams and become the leader of an entirely new and fascinating industry. Neodreams will be illustrated by Nick Gerts and Evgeny Zubkov and published by Open Borders Studio. Both artists are new to illustration board games. The game is played by 2-4 players and over 30-60 minutes for ages 12+.
