Steam Store description

What do you want out of life? To be happy? Well that's just boring! Do you think good things are better than bad things? You’re wrong again! In Gloom, the more miserable you are the better things are going for you, and the very worst thing you can do for your friends is to bring them joy. Each player controls the fate of an eccentric family of misfits. Your goal is sad, but simple: make your family suffer the greatest tragedies possible before allowing them to pass on to the well-deserved respite of death. Ask penguins to poison them, make them starve in a storm or get written out of the will… The more miserable they are, the better!

Finally, kill your family or your rival’s family by using the Untimely Death cards! Baked into a pie, eaten by bears or just dying old and alone… Th…

Content descriptors

Be forewarned; Gloom is a card game which features no visible violence or nudity. However the core mechanic of the game is to make your characters as miserable as possible. This means that a large number of cards will feature text describing terrible scenes or events that characters will/have experienced that may be upsetting to some.
