About this board game

Dream Catchers is a cooperative casual game for 2 to 4 players that takes about 35 minutes to play. Together, you become dream catchers visiting a child in their sleep, collecting sweet dreams and removing nightmares so the dreamer can sleep through the night.

Each player uses power cards to catch a sweet dream for the sleeping child or remove a nightmare before it can attack. Players may also trade cards with one another, working together to gather the cards needed for the tasks ahead.

The night brings new dangers. Monsters appear throughout the game and attack both the dream catchers and the dreamer. If three monsters are hiding under the bed, the child wakes up and the players lose the game.

  • Cooperative play for 2–4 players
  • Power cards for catching sweet dreams and removing nightmares
  • Card trading to support the whole team
  • Monsters that can hide under the bed and threaten the dreamer
  • A 35-minute challenge against the passing night

To win, collect the required power cards and catch the nasty monsters. Some monsters are cunning, however, and may escape if you lose the die roll, making every encounter uncertain.

At the end of each player’s turn, time passes and dawn draws near. In Dream Catchers, the team must complete its task before the night is over while preventing the monsters from waking the dreamer. Coordinate your cards, manage the growing threat, and help the child get a good night’s sleep.
