This game is very unique. You can feel the influence of movies like Inception all over it. As explained in the description the main focus of this game is dreams and tarot cards. The cards are very important as they define how things are done and how the imagery on the cards are interpreted for the settings. The game does have a solo mode which I would say is more of a tutorial for the game rather than a full solo experience but this can be fleshed out if you wanted to make this a pure solo experience. The group dynamic is where the most creativity went into the game. The players pick one person to be the "dreamer" and everyone else is joining them in the dream world. Cause to much crazy and the dreamer may wake up bringing everyone out of the dream. The game is fun if you are looking for something different. No dice needed to play, but if you dont have a tarot deck to use around the table there is a table you can roll on instead. While the game says that you can use any traditional tarot deck, I will point out that you will want a deck that has images for the minor cards. Some decks do not and they will not work as well without referencing the book. I would suggest getting the custom deck for this game though. I found that the interpretations of each card did not match with my knowledge of tarot and it caused a bit of confusion without referencing the meaning of the cards in the game but it wasnt a deal breaker for me. To wrap up, it is a very fun game that uses tarot as oracles and "dice". I wish the solo mode was more solid as I can see this being something I would play more by myself as my group found it fun but not enough to replace put more traditional rpg games
