On episode #125, hear our resident Ghastly Gamer, Chantal Noordeloos talk about Gloom.
In the Gloom card game, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but simple: you want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. Play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters, while trying to cheer your opponents’ characters with marriages and other happy occasions.
Printed on transparent plastic cards, Gloom features an innovative design by Keith Baker. Multiple modifier cards can be played on top of the same character card; since the cards are transparent, elements from previously played modifier cards either show through or are obscured by those played above them. You’ll immediately and easily know the worth of every character, no matter how many modifiers they have. You’ve got to see (through) this game to believe it!
Find out more about this awesome game on Episode #125, coming May 7th.

I know! Me too. My favorite family is the one above – the purple set. What is yours?

I’m all about the red family. A gravedigger and an inventor alone open up so many possibilities for me. Although, a lurking butler is pretty good too.

Lmao yes! I also have the Cthulhu pack and it has some interesting characters too. My bff got the fairytale one. It’s got some cute ones in it, but I love playing with the mixed decks with her. My goth peeps killing off her fairytale peeps seems like a good sort of justice!

Personally I like playing the fairytale families the most *grin* But in the original game I’m usually the purple family. Though I quite like the circus freaks too.

The fairytale families are quite fun as well as the circus freaks. I want them to create a Steampunk deck.
