Setup

Shuffle the deck, deal five cards to your hand, and place the eight door cards and the nightmare cards in their designated areas.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up the game, first shuffle the main deck of cards. Then, deal five cards face down to form your starting hand. Place the eight door cards, which come in four colors (two of each), face up in a row. The four nightmare cards are placed face down in a separate pile. The remaining cards form the draw pile, and the discard pile starts empty. The Oni Rim figure is purely decorative and can be placed anywhere convenient.
Objective
The primary objective of Onirim is to collect all eight door cards before the draw pile is exhausted. You must find two doors of each of the four colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. Successfully collecting all eight doors signifies your escape from the labyrinth of dreams and a victory in the game.
On your turn
During your turn, you must play one card from your hand. You can play a location card (red, blue, green, yellow) to form a sequence, but you cannot play two identical symbols next to each other. Alternatively, you can play a key card to unlock a door of the same color if you have three consecutive location cards of that color already played, or if you draw a door card. After playing a card, you draw a new card to replenish your hand to five.
Scoring
Onirim is a cooperative solitaire game, meaning there is no traditional scoring. The game is won or lost collectively. If you manage to collect all eight door cards before the draw pile runs out, you win. If the draw pile becomes empty and you cannot draw a card, you lose the game.
Game end
The game concludes in one of two ways. You achieve victory if you successfully collect all eight door cards, signifying your escape from the dream labyrinth. Conversely, you lose the game if the draw pile is depleted and you are unable to draw a card to replenish your hand, trapping you permanently within the dream.
Tips
To maximize your chances of winning, prioritize forming sequences of three location cards to unlock doors, as this is the most common method. Keep an eye on your hand for key cards, as they offer a direct way to claim a door when drawn. When a nightmare card appears, carefully consider the consequences of each option: discarding a key, returning a discovered door to the limbo pile, discarding the top five cards of the deck, or discarding your entire hand. Each choice has strategic implications for your progress and deck management.
