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. This second edition of Gloom features sturdy new packaging, rules fixes, timing icons, reminder cards, and more. -ATLAS GAMES
