Description
In Sen (English: "Dream"), the goal is to minimize the total value of your cards; however, you don't know what all your cards are at the beginning of the game. By using certain cards to peek at your own or opponent's cards, or swap cards with your opponent, you can try to minimize the value of your cards. When you think you have the lowest value, you can call end the round. If your value is not the lowest you receive a penalty. Rounds repeat until someone has scored 100 points, at which point the player with the fewest points wins.
A game in the Golf family, it combines elements from Rat-a-Tat Cat and Cabo.

- Area Control — You are trying to build up your forest and you are starting with um little ponds or lakes that you have on each end of the board and you have to start at that pond and build your forest around to block the other person out from building their forest.
- Dice Rolling — You're rolling a dice and when you roll a dice, you're rolling a number dice and a directional dice. You can only build in that direction.
- Tile Placement — You either add more trees to spots you have trees on because it makes it stronger, allows you to do more later on, or you just build out.

Thematic elements

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Trick-Taking — Players take the second highest trick, aiming to be the second person to take a trick. The goal is to have the second highest total score, as having the most points doesn't guarantee a win. The game ends when someone crosses a 40-point threshold, and the next person in line wins. Players might aim for second place or avoid points if they are in the lead.

Quotes (from this video)
- Nintendo fans, here it is. My number two favorite system of all time is the Nintendo Gamecube.
- Oh my god. God, the Gamecube is so good.
- Eternal Darkness, the best Lovecraftian horror game ever made.
- Zelda, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. By far my favorite Zelda game.
- Metroid Prime, my favorite Metroid game. So good. love that game. The atmosphere is great.
- I love the Gamecube. I wish Nintendo would have followed down that path, but I have a feeling if they would have, they probably wouldn't be around anymore.
- And finally, my number one system of all time, and that is the original Sony PlayStation.
- And uh that game reignited my passion for or that console reignited my passion for video games. And it's been ignited ever since.
- And the best thing about the Sony PlayStation 1 era was like this was a time before we had so much news coverage online about video games.
- And so I could go to a video game store and we had quite a few where I was from in Fresno, California, a local kind of chain called BR and then we had Software etc.
- you could go into a video game store and just look at the shelves and the shelves of the stores were huge and they had so many shelves and there were so many games for the PS1 and you could stumble upon games that you had no idea what they were because they weren't getting covered.
- These totally bizarre almost non games.
- They had refund and exchange policies at their store, so you could go in and buy a game with a full guarantee that you would like it.
- And it just it gave us the chance to try things out at home and, you know, decide whether or not we like the game.
- And so that, you know, kind of gave me the freedom to experiment with a whole bunch of different kinds of games.
- And I think that's a I think that's a huge uh miss. I think not allowing gamers to exchange games and not allowing for, you know, that's why I like Steam so much because you can buy a game, you can play it for a couple hours, and if you don't like it, you can refund it.
