  • In this video I'll do a playthrough of the hand management game 'Onirim'. Description on BoardGameGeek: "Onirim is a solo/cooperative card game. You (and a partner, if you wish) must work (together) against the game to gather the eight Door cards before the deck runs out; you can obtain those Door cards either by playing cards of the same color three turns in a row, or by discarding (under specific circumstances) one of your powerful Key cards. In both cases you will have to decide the best use of each card in your hand and carefully play around the Nightmares. Those cards are hidden in the deck and will trigger painful dilemmas when drawn..."

    I play solo and only solo.
    Have all the Oniverse games and hundreds of others unfortunately, due to health been rather lazy this year. However, I took out Onirim and played it again. The cards are falling apart ! I usually use protective sleeves but there are very slippery and a lot of cards to cover.
    Anyway,enjoyed your game and hope you have lots more solo games.
    Thanks and Best Wishes from the UK.

      @SirTheos,
      My favourite of the Oniverse series em, Nautilion ; Onirim ; Aerion.
      Even though I have he did in the series (cannot get the very first one that came out), I still haven't played Sylvion,Castelion and Stellarion.

    1 rule you might find helpful: keys can look at and rearrange the top 5 cards in the deck and then must discard 1 of them.

    • @SirThecos
      @SirThecos  Рік тому +1

      Yes, you're right - somehow, I use that rule rarely. I'm not sure why, though. 🤔

    • @williamwilting
      @williamwilting 6 місяців тому

      That is probably why you take this much risk by discarding too many cards without any effect. The keys have four functions to choose from, all of which you should make good use of. Either they're a defensive resource against a nightmare, or they're a cheep price for opening a door if you're in luck, or they're a symbol you might need for your labyrinth (especially the keys of the smaller colors in the deck) later on in the game, or they can make you get some control over the draw from the deck, especially early in the game. In the last case you could dispose of a nightmare you won't have to resolve anymore, if you're lucky to find it.

    I didn't play a board game for years. Somehow, lately, i was thinking why not starting to play solo, since my other half is not a fan of board games. Watching this, I realized I should start with this game. Thank you for the video👍.

    • @SirThecos
      @SirThecos  Рік тому +2

      I think Onirim is a great starting point for trying out solo games. It's easy to learn, quick to play and has quite a bit of replayability as well as difficulty scaling with all the expansions. 🙂

      @SirThecos unfortunately, it's out of stock everywhere in my country. Do you have any idea why these Oniverse games are so difficult to find?
      I managed to order Nautilion. I also ordered Cascadia and Friday. Looking forward to having some fun once the games will be in my hand☺️.

      @@irissssssss The Oniverse games are quite popular, especially for solo players, and they were not reprinted as far as I know. I had such a hard time finding them all as well. A small printing was available at Spiel in Essen this year - this is where I got two of the remaining ones. Feel free to let me know how you like Nautilion, Cascadia, and Friday! 🙃

      @SirThecos I've got Cascadia, it's fun. I like it. I love the nature theme games. The quality is good. It's all part of the experience. I am trying to play when I have some spare time, it's helping me to forget about work, stress and I can have some me time. I am still waiting for Friday and Nautilion to be delivered. I will have them soon.
