This game is absolutely fantastic, as it brings out the author in all players. Highly recommended as no other game, to date, has utilized such an interesting play style.
I was first aware of Gloom after seeing an episode of Tabletop where it was played. It looked like the kind of game that was right up my alley. Over the years that I have had it for I have loved playing it with my equally dark humored friends and spinning the kind of twisted story of tragedy that could have come from Gothic literature.
Fantastic game with morbid themes and beautiful cards. Amazingly fast shipping as always!
The sky is gray, the tea is cold, and a new tragedy lies around every corner…
Misery Loves Company: The World of Gloom
When your family is made up of serial killers, crazed circus folk, and
demonically possessed sociopaths, misery comes easy. In Gloom, players control
these misanthropic misfits. The goal? To make your characters as miserable as
possible before allowing them the sweet respite of death. Along the way, you'll
make other players' characters horribly happy. Players narrate their characters'
misfortunes and mishaps, creating unique stories of suffering in each game.
May the most miserable soul win!
A Sad State of Affairs: Gameplay Basics
In Gloom, each player places negative Modifier cards on their family members to
make them delightfully depressed, and positive ones on other players' cards to
keep them horribly happy. Untimely Deaths lock in points for good or ill.
The award-winning gameplay uses unique transparent cards that stack on top of each other to conceal and reveal the Self-Worth scores from the cards below. The easy scoring and evocative, gloomy art are guaranteed to endlessly entertain players. The game ends when one entire family has shuffled off this mortal coil. The winner is the player with the lowest score, whose family was the most miserable in life!
