Gloom 2nd EditionŞ A tragicomic card game where players torment their misanthropic families until they succumb to the deserved respite of an untimely death. ## Key Selling Points * The core game in an evergreen line thatŐs been featured on Tabletop, with more than 300,000 games in print. * Award-winning gameplay is based on transparent cards that stack on top of each other to hide and reveal text and statistics from the cards below. * Players try to make their own families miserable (and then kill them!) while lifting their opponentsŐ spirits. ## What ItŐs About You canŐt choose your family, the saying goes. How awful. At least you can torment them until they die. In Gloom, thatŐs how you win! LetŐs meet the families, shall we? The Slogar patriarch, Lord Slogar, is a brain in a box. His wife Helena enjoys long walks in the moonlight and reanimating the dead. Lord Wellington-Smythe dotes on his children the Twins, the sweetest demonically possessed sociopaths youŐll ever meet. The Darks are a circus family led by ringmaster Darius Dark. Their most miserable show on earth features a shy, illustrated lady and a beardedÉ man. Finally, the head of the Stark household is The Old Dam, a murderous matriarch whose sweet daughter Angel is a starry-eyed serial killer. In play, these unfortunates might be Ruined by Rum or Shunned by Society before dying Old and Alone or even being Devoured by Weasels. But in Gloom? ThatŐs great! Because once everyoneŐs dead, the most miserable family wins! ## Gameplay Basics * Players play modifers to depress their own families while buoying their opponentsŐ self-worth scores. Untimely demises lock in points for good or ill. * ThereŐs no stacking limit: Transparent cards are stacked directly on top of each other, to hide and reveal the self-worth scores below. * The game ends when one entire family has shuffled off this mortal coil. The winner is the player whose deceased family members were most miserable in life. ## Vital Stats Stock AG1350, ISBN 978-1-58978-144-3, MSRP $24.95.
