Product Description
Theme : Gloom is the game of death, despair and depression. In this innovative card game, you assume control of a family of hard-luck individuals with the aim to make their lives more miserable. Each turn, you play cards on your family members to decrease their self-esteem while your opponent attempts to raise them with fruitful, life fulfilling events like true love. At the end, you need to make sure your characters have the most untimely, miserable death to gain points.
Gameplay : In Gloom, players pick a family of 5 miserable individuals whose lives need to be made worst. With a card hand of 5, each turn players play 2 cards onto their or their opponents family member, making their lives more miserable or providing a ray of sunshine. Most cards have a number of pathos points available, pathos points being available in common, uncommon and rare amounts. The goal is to pile on as many negative pathos points as possible, being careful not to block out points of earlier cards (thus the 3 levels) while playing happy instances on your opponents family members. Gloom is printed on transparent plastic cards that may be laid on top of one another, quickly allowing you to sum up Pathos points at any time in the game. The winner is whoever has the most number of pathos points - but only dead family members count!

Fun game, even if it is a little gloomy. Great for travel and works well with players that like to get into the stories created as misfortune mounts upon the characters in each family. Recommended for people that like card based games like Munchkins and Review by Ruka (Posted on 11/18/09)

Gloom is a card game of morbid humor. Your goal is simple - to make all five members of your family die; after living the most miserable lives possible, utterly dejected. And how do you do that? Well, by playing a variety of unfortunate situations on them Review by TR (Posted on 12/6/08)
