## Description

Gloom Card Game Second Edition : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Nice cards and funny stories - The game is played with a certain macabre sense of humour. In that the goal is to inflict misery on your family, then kill them whilst sprinkling joy on others. The cards are generally alliterative and have a humorous quote on them. Half the fun is creating a story that links any previous cards with your current action to create a narrative. The game design is also nice, in that cards that benefit you (depress your family) require a sacrifice on your behalf, whilst those that hurt other players (making their family happy) gives them some extra cards. And the cards are transparent making them have overlapping(or not) effects that can sometimes cancel the previous layers/grant a bonus on death. A nice game to play if you have 15 to 20 mins and fancy some strategy mixed in with silly storytelling. Works well with 2 players.
Review: Fantastic fun! - I bought this as a present for a family member, and we had such a great time playing it. The cards all have beautiful artwork on them and it was surprisingly easy to play, the game encourages you to create a story around these characters based on how the game plays which creates some very entertaining tales being spun. Really great fun for the family!
