Just a heads up: Onirim by Asmodee Digital is now free and it probably won’t last forever.
If you’ve never heard of it, Onirim is a solitaire card game published by Z-Man Games in which you play a dreamer trying to escape his dream by finding eight doors — somewhat reminiscent of the Dreamlands of H.P. Lovecraft albeit far less horrific. You do this by matching cards of the same colour and dealing with Nightmares hidden in the deck that force you to select one of four penalties.
The app version is superb and makes for a simple but engaging game that plays fast but often requires tough decisions on your part, with very cute art and music. The only drawback I could see at release was that the app only contained the base game while the second edition came with seven expansions in the box that could be used independently or combined, but it seems this should be addressed soon as the devs recently released one expansion, The Glyphs, for free and said others were coming (likely as an in-app purchase but nothing has been said about it yet).
It was already cheap since its initial release date, but being now free there really is little reason not to pick it up. It seems the IOS version is also getting the same treatment and can be grabbed for free as well.
