Asmodee Digital Updates Card Game ‘Onirim’ with New Expansion Pack
Asmodee Digital has announced the next major update for their hit iOS card game Onirim bringing plenty of new content and changes to the game. Dubbed “Crossroads and Dead Ends”, this expansion adds 16 new cards to the player’s deck as well as online leaderboards that has been highly requested by players. Overall it’s a pretty in-depth update and because the two new card types, requiring a bit of explanation.
For those new to the card game Onirim, here’s a quick introductory tidbit to catch you up to speed.
Onirim takes players on a journey through their dreams, where players will need to play cards carefully to beat the luck of the draw. In the game, players are Dreamwalkers lost in a mysterious labyrinth. To escape, they’ll have to find and reveal all eight door cards hidden in the deck, either by drawing and playing sets of cards or by using a powerful key card when they have a door card in their hand.
Out of the newly added cards, four of them are considered “Crossroad” cards that can be played as any color. These Crossroad cards can be extremely useful as they can be played as the first, second, or third card of a series of the same color to get a Door card from the deck. Another thing to remember is the color of the two other Location cards of the series determine the color of the Door the player unlocks. Upon drawing a Door card, players can also discard the Key Crossroad card to get the drawn Door card.
As the opposite of Crossroad cards, “Dead End” cards deliver new challenges to make things more interesting. Players must keep Dead End cards in-hand until the end of the game, never being able to discard it, except for when they discard their entire hand as part of a Nightmare (another card type). In the situation of Nightmares, if the penalty is to reveal the top 5 cards of the deck, the Dead End cards are considered Dream cards and are put into the Limbo pile.
Those interesting in getting access to all the new content can purchase the expansion in the game for $0.99.
