Dreamcards Seven Nights and Monster Rules — Exact Objective

AT A GLANCE

A run lasts seven nights: exceed the Monster's score each night, use the action and buy phases to improve the deck, and avoid a single failed night.

Beat the Monster's score on all seven nights; losing any single night ends the run, so deck changes must improve the next visible score check.

The seven-night rule

Dreamcards requires you to surpass the Monster's score for seven nights. Lose one night and the Monster ends the attempt with a nightmare. This is the full-release objective stated on Steam, not a strategy promise or a rule inferred from the old demo.

Part of a night	What it does
Action phase	Play the current hand and build the score/resource result for that night.
Buy phase	Spend the available currency to change the deck for later nights.
Monster check	Your result must exceed the Monster's score.
Run result	Clear all seven nights to reach the lucid-dream goal; one failed night ends the run.

The current store description advertises more than 100 cards and six broad strategy families. Those numbers define the available scope, but they do not establish one universal best deck. Card text and the visible Monster requirement on the current night remain the authoritative answer for a particular run.

This page intentionally stops at the exact rules. Use the action and buy phase reference for turn structure and Resource Preview for the interface that shows consequences before committing an action.
