Atlas Games Gloom (2nd Edition)

Yeah, we played for hours and had so much fun! I've been teaching many of my friends how to play too! We're now looking to get the expansion packs!

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.

The game is played with a certain macabre sense of humour. In that the goal is to inflict misery on your family, then kill them whilst sprinkling joy on others. The cards are generally alliterative and have a humorous quote on them. Half the fun is creating a story that links any previous cards with your current action to create a narrative. The game design is also nice, in that cards that benefit you (depress your family) require a sacrifice on your behalf, whilst those that hurt other players (making their family happy) gives them some extra cards. And the cards are transparent making them have overlapping(or not) effects that can sometimes cancel the previous layers/grant a bonus on death. A nice game to play if you have 15 to 20 mins and fancy some strategy mixed in with silly storytelling. Works well with 2 players.

So much fun to be had. I love making up the stories to go with this game.

... wird mit diesem Spiel zu etwas Positivem. Wer's gerne schwarz hat was den Humor angeht der ist mit Gloom bestens beraten. Am besten mit Freunden spielen die sich auch nach Monopoly- oder Mario Kart-Abenden noch blicken ließen, man kann sich da schonmal an den Kragen gehen - "Man soll aufhören wenn's am schönsten ist" bekommt hier nämlich auch eine ganz andere Bedeutung ;)
