San Francisco, 1937: Your cargo plane flies through a portal in the sky, transporting you to a rugged landscape filled with bizarre creatures, scheming gods, and untold dangers. But can you find your way back before the portal closes?
Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies is a standalone sequel set in the world of Sleeping Gods. As in the original game, you and your friends trek through a vast landscape as you read branching storylines and meet vivid characters, but in this game you interact with the atlas on a deeper level — camping, exploring, overcoming obstacles, and searching for lost relics. The new action system allows you even greater agency while you travel and explore.
In addition to the exploration and quest system from the original game, Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies features a fresh spin on combat. Players now build a combat deck from which they draw a varied hand of cards to play, making each combat encounter a fresh and dynamic puzzle.
Although Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies builds on story elements in the first game, you do not need to play Sleeping Gods to enjoy this sequel. The game features new characters and storylines, explaining concepts from the original game as you encounter them.
Return to the world of Sleeping Gods and experience a thrilling tale that hinges on your choices in a truly open-world experience!

I have not played the original Sleeping Gods, but ordered this in Gamefound based on our gaming tastes and faith in Ryan. We were not disappointed! Arrived on a Thursday and remained out, covering the family dining table for over a week as we played through our first campaign. That has NEVER happened in this household! Every day of the last week we looked forward to the evening session, and even squeezed in a couple short lunchtime plays. We finished our first campaign and have not even visited 4 of the 9 atlas pages! The combination of storytelling and puzzles is a great balance, and the world is far too vast for a single campaign. Can't wait to explore more!

A more advanced and streamlined (?) sequel to "Sleeping Gods" coming in 2023. Check reviews. Better than the first game in most aspects. Definitely much easier and more focused game than original Sleeping Gods. Combat is a bit weird and non-thematic because enemies become more powerful the more damage you do to them.
