Sleeping Gods Reviews

"Are the stars unfamiliar here?" she asked, and the sky grew suddenly dark, the star's patterns alien and exotic. "This is the Wandering Sea. The gods have brought you here, and you must wake them if you wish to return home."

In Sleeping Gods, you and up to 3 friends become Captain Sofi Odessa and her crew, lost in a strange world in 1929 on your steamship, the Manticore. You must work together to survive, exploring exotic islands, meeting new characters, and seeking out the totems of the gods so that you can return home.

Sleeping Gods is a campaign game. Each session can last as long as you want. When you are ready to take a break, you mark your progress on a journey log sheet, making it easy to return to the same place in the game the next time you play. You can play solo or with friends throughout your campaign. It's easy to swap players in and out at will. Your goal is to find at least fourteen totems hidden throughout the world. Like reading a book, you'll complete this journey one or two hours at a time, discovering new lands, stories, and challenges along the way.

Sleeping Gods is an atlas game. Each page of the atlas represents only a small portion of the world you can explore. When you reach the edge of a page and you want to continue in the same direction, you simply turn to a new page and sail onward.

Sleeping Gods is a storybook game. Each new location holds wild adventure, hidden treasures, and vivid characters. Your choices affect the characters and the plot of the game, and may help or hinder your chances of getting home!

Welcome to a vast world. Your journey starts now.

“I am constantly on the lookout for games that work well in single player as well as playing with others. Particularly during lockdown it can be hard to get a group together for playing. Sleeping Gods is a fantastic game that works well with any number of players. It is a sprawling adventure that can go in a number of different directions. The fact that you can 'save' where you got to in a game and resume at a later date is also a bonus. The game itself, whilst it initially seems complex is simple to get to grips with and the narrative that builds on what you have already done is awesome, and means that there is some 'legacy' to multiple playthroughs.”

“Ryan Laukats Story telling, and world building in 'Sleeping Gods' is at a much higher level than you find in his previous games 'Near and Far' and 'Above and Below'. The mechanisms in the game are quite quick to learn, and they all make sense. The combat system specifically is very original and has just the right amount of depth. Nothing in the gameplay feels 'fiddly' or overly fussy. The story, and the decisions it raises are primary, the preparation and maintenance of your crew (fatigue, statuses, damage) feels, to us anyway, just right and not such a major concern (unlike say in '7th Continent'). However we're only two sessions into our first campaign, and we're taking it slowly.”

“The order didn't arrive. It's the 22rd of December and I contact Zatu who apologise, investigate, and email me back with conformation they've shipped out a new box on the 23rd and upgraded the delivery so it gets here for Christmas (hopefully tomorrow). Now that's customer service.”
