In Gloom, you play one of four odd families that live very gloomy lives. During the game, you want to make your own family as gloomy as possible and kill them off while they are this way, while other players want to make your characters happier and kill them when they are the least gloomy.
At the end of the game, players add up the gloom on their dead characters and the one with the most Gloom wins.
Plays
I have only played this one once and it played a bit awkwardly as nobody had played it before. It also gets better and better as players get into the crazy actions that their cards are performing and start a narrative about the characters.
Pros
This is a really fun storytelling game while also being an interesting point scoring game.
Cons
You will need the right kind of group to really enjoy this game. One that likes to spin a yarn and doesn't mind the negative and gloomy nature of the game will thrive.
Give it a chance if you feel the group could be right though, as in our group, the narrative aspect increased as the game progressed and made it allot of fun.
