D&N TCG is under construction! I am redoing the entire game, so stay tuned!

Dream.

Battle.

Conquer.
Inspired from K. Weikel's book Building Monsters comes the game called Dreams and Nightmares, where Dreamweavers and Nightmareweavers fight to take ahold of the Sleeper's dream using Monsters, Shadows, Humans, and even other Dreamweavers. Whoever gets hit directly three times loses, and the other Weaver takes control of the dream... Are you strong enough to keep fighting? 
Welcome to the world where dreams and nightmares collide, battling over the dream of a Sleeper. There
are the Nightmareweavers, those who manifest nightmares from the tips of their fingers, and
Dreamweavers, who create fantastical dreams from the depths of their imagination. Build your deck
knowing you could be either Weaver, but beware of the Shadows and Humans—they will be the ones
who tip the scales for or against you. Who will take over the Dreamscape, and, ultimately, the dream?

It’s up to you.

Special Cards

Some cards require extra explanation on how to play. Here are the ones that might stump a Weaver, but they don't have anything complicated about them! 

Upgrade Card

Picture
  • To play this card, you need to have the card you’re wanting ot upgrade on the field and the Upgrade Card in your hand, along with the card you’re wanting to upgrade to. You cannot upgrade on the turn you place the Monster you’re upgrading from. First, play the Trick Card: Upgrade, and then place the card you’re upgrading to on / top of the card you’re upgrading from.

    • Ex: In order to upgrade Cress to Chosen Cress, you need Cress on the board for one turn, and the Upgrade Card and Chosen Cress in your hand. You can then play the card Trick: Upgrade, followed by Chosen Cress, placing Chosen Cress on top of Cress on your side of the Dreamscape. You can then attack.
The example:

Morph Card

Picture
  • Like the Upgrade card, you need to have both the Trick: Morph card in your hand, as well the Dreamscape. You can then attack. Morph Card as the card one of your Monsters will morph into. The card that will morph has to be on the field one turn before morphing.

    • Ex: In order to morph Dametria into Dametria’s Dolphin, you have to have Dametria on the field for at least one turn. Trick: Morph and Dametria’s Dolphin has to be in your hand to play the Morph card. Place Dametria’s Dolphin on top of Dametria. You can then attack.

Fuse Card

Picture
  • The same rules apply to Trick: Fuse as Morph and Upgrade, with a slight twist. You have to have both cards you’re wanting to fuse in play for at least one turn.

  • Ex: In order to fuse Cass and Cassandra into Cass/ Cassandra, you have to have both Cass and Cassandra on the field for one turn, and you have to have Trick: Fuse in your hand. You can then attack.
