In a place outside the waking world where children go while they sleep.
Wander the dreamkin—lost sleepers, whose souls this land seeks to keep.
Underneath the gentle waves of lucid seas we fell.
We're off to find our missing friends in the vast Dreamwell.

Dreamwell is a 2-4 player competitive game featuring the art of Tara McPherson where players are trying to find their lost friends in the Dreamwell. The Dreamwell world is represented by a 4 x 4 grid of tiles. Each tile shows a environment and a creature, as well as paths to neighboring tiles. At the start of the game, players will be dealt two cards, each of which shows a picture of the friend whom he or she is trying to locate along with the two creatures and environment that will be required to find that particular friend.

On your turn, you can take three actions from the following list: move one of your pawns, rotate a tile, draw a card, replace the display, or locate one of your missing friends by playing a card. Only by carefully traversing the maze-like Dreamwell can you locate your friends and win the game.
