Gloom takes “play to lose” to a whole new level: Each player plays as a spooky family (in the tradition of Edward Gorey, the Addams Family, or the Munsters) trying to ensure that their family members are each as miserable as possible when they die, and that their opponents’ family members die happy— and suddenly!

The unique clear plastic cards lead to some great overlay mechanics, and make the cards extra safe from damage at your board game night or party. This macabre but light game is perfect for a group with a darker sense of humor, or at a game night with a spooky theme.
