About the game
Manage your own dreamliner! Passengers come aboard to experience the holidays of their dreams. Your job as the manager of the ship is to make their dreams come true. Some want to go sightseeing; others want to do sports; some simply want to relax, while yet others are looking for inspirational experiences… To please them all, add upgrades to your ship, plan activities and look for the right cities to head for. When you make passengers happy, they will reward you with points. And that is the only thing that counts at the end! Each round starts with you choosing a destination you want to head for with your ship. Then you draft 2 paired cards. These can be upgrades for your ship or activities. Once you have them, you can build these upgrades into your ship or use the activity cards to fulfil the desires of your passengers. Every time you do that, the happy passenger leaves your ship, giving you points. You replace them with new passengers with different needs. The game ends when there are no passengers left. Whoever scores the most points is the winner.

Questions and answers
Dream Cruise supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dream Cruise is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dream Cruise for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dream Cruise has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
