"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. —description from the publisher

Sleeping Gods: Dungeons adds six dungeons to Sleeping Gods. Each dungeon includes a map and stories. In a dungeon, gameplay will be slightly altered from the regular game. Each map is printed on thick card stock (Letter-sized, 8.5×11 inches). A separate dungeon booklet contains all of the descriptions, encounters, and puzzles that you'll experience as you explore. You can access these dungeons at specific locations in the atlas of the Sleeping Gods base game. When you reach a location that contains a dungeon, you can choose to read from the standard storybook, or instead explore the dungeon that is located there. The specified location number is listed in the top left corner of the dungeon map. Each dungeon holds dangerous traps, vicious monsters, and treasure that you can find. Because dungeons take longer to explore than a standard location, there are a few small changes to game play when you enter one. While in the dungeon, players take turns taking two actions each, which include moving to new rooms, examining your surroundings, and more.

The Wandering Sea is vast, filled with hidden treasures and lost totems. To the far south lies Zokmere, the sanctuary city, where hundreds of splintered houses cling to the jungle hills in a turquoise bay. In the northeast, the gods hide the remains of a sprawling city, and the history of their malice. Ready your crew. New dangers and adventures await. Sleeping Gods: Tides of Ruin expands the world of Sleeping Gods with a second atlas, accompanying storybook, new adventure cards, enemies, events, and more. Seamlessly combine this expansion with the base game to make the world even larger.

It’s 1929. You are Captain Sofi Odessa and her crew lost at sea in a strange world. Aboard the steamship Manticore, you must work together to survive by exploring mysterious islands, battling creatures, and meeting the world’s inhabitants. Along the way, seek out the totems of the gods. Wake the gods and perhaps you’ll be able to return home. Sleeping Gods: Primeval Peril is a short standalone campaign for one or two players, but will include a variant for playing with 3-4, set in the world of Sleeping Gods and using the same rules. Primeval Peril is set on a dangerous river that winds through lush jungle. It includes new characters and stories so that nothing from the Sleeping Gods base game is spoiled. It was first offered as a free print-and-play to all backers of the Sleeping Gods Kickstarter. This first retail edition is revised and expanded with new stories and quests, streamlined gameplay, and an atlas with new maps.

This looks interesting. It is beautiful to look at. It is unique in that it is a 1-4 player coop game which is unusual for Ryan Laukat. Look forward to trying this. I wish i could get the all in pledge on this one.
