Product Description

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. Printed on transparent plastic cards, Gloom features an innovative design by Keith Baker. Multiple modifier cards can be played on top of the same character card; since the cards are transparent, elements from previously played modifier cards either show through or are obscured by those played above them. You'll immediately and easily know the worth of every character, no matter how many modifiers they have. You've got to see (through) this game to believe it! The second edition includes sturdy new packaging, rules fixes, timing icons, reminder cards, and more; plus it's fully compatible with the first edition game and supplements. It's sure to delight even the most despondent Gloom fan!

    UPDATE: Changed from 1 star to 5.Emailed manufacturer of my issue on Friday 10/13/2017Received manufacturer response Monday 10/16/2017Well this is my public fumble. Usually, the back of a playing card is a full pattern. When I looked at the cards (the image I provided), I never thought to turn them over, because I saw the individual designs and assumed that was card face. The manufacturer got back to me quickly and said they believed I was looking at the back. They also said if not the case, they would replace. They were correct and the art and text I saw are for the back of the card, not the front.. Makes sense though, since much of the card is clear. It's a lot of fun when your group gets into telling a little story for each card.(Initial review)I just received this October 10th 2017. This is the exact item I ordered, as it is confirmed with a message when I go to this page. The box comes with two decks. The instructions show I should have cards with family members and cards that modify. I received neither. I have two card types. I have "Rest in peace," at the top (all have a crow on a skull as center art and various combinations of solid black dots on the sides), or are non-titled with solid black dots on the sides. There is no central art on the second type of any cards. There is no art within what should be circles, (not solid black dots.) on any card in the deck.

    Está en inglés. Un juego rápido y divertido. Un poco oscuro. Intenta hacer infeliz a cada uno de tus personajes para poder matarlos. Haz felices a los personajes de tus oponentes para evitar que ganen puntos. 2-5 o hasta 6 jugadores con expansiones. Cartas de calidad. Puedes jugar con un poco de historia inventando cómo le sucedió cierto evento a tu personaje o solo juega con los indicadores y efectos de las cartas.
