In Cthulhu Gloom, your make your intrepid investigators face the most terrible terrors and madness before helping them pass on to their inevitable doom.

Unpleasant Dreams brings the wonders and horrors of the Dreamlands to the table. Mix the 55 transparent cards in this set together with your copy of Cthulhu Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, Stories, Transformations, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family that calls the Dreamlands their home. Can you survive the creeping chaos of Nyarlathotep? Will your shantak be a loyal mount, or will you meet your end when you approach Azathoth? Dive into your own unpleasant dreams to find out!

NEW RULES: Also inside are two new Character cards called Unwelcome Guests. Deal one or both face up to the table's center at the the start of the game, and set aside the rest. Guests "follow" the card types noted on them; no matter where it currently is, a living Guest immediately moves to join the family of the character on which one of its "trigger" cards is played. All its Modifiers are moved with it, and it's considered a member of that family until it moves again. This may delay the game's end if a final play draws a Guest to the near-winner's family!

Campaign-style play for Gloom!

The Gloom Chronicles brings campaign-style play to Gloom, as an expansion printed on traditional cardstock that can enhance any game of Gloom.

Each card in The Gloom Chronicles expansion starts a new chapter for your ongoing game of Gloom, ties those games together as a serialized campaign, and adds variant rules bringing new challenges to the story. You can choose a card at random, or you can start from the beginning and explore the ongoing chronicle of your family through an extended campaign. What ignominious ending will your Gloom Chronicle have?

* Bring campaign-style play to your Gloom game.
* Compatible with all core Gloom expansions.
* Printed on traditional opaque cardstock.

Format: Booster pack of 20 tarot-sized cards

The Game of Black Holes and Bleak Adventures

A fairytale toad in a prince's crown Space is the Worst. Empty, black, airless, awash in radiation, and dotted with immense clods of flaming plasma that make everything within millions of miles too hot to support life. If your living room were like space, you'd never, ever go there.

In Gloom in Space, you make your rag-tag band or star-faring heroes miserable, and then kill them.

Sci-fi archetypes like the Smuggler, Captain, Doctor, and Dark Lord fight their fathers, meddle with monoliths, get caught in compactors, and wind up getting nuked from orbit. Eventually, enough Untimely Deaths come to pass that the game ends. And then? The most miserable crew wins.

Gloom in Space is a stand-alone game that's also compatible with all existing Gloom core games and expansions.

In Gloom in Space...
* Each player chooses their own crew of sci-fi archetypes.
* Modifiers add or subtract points. With transparent cards, the points you can still see after "The Kid" was "Pursued by a Predator" are the points that are in play. It's that simple!
* Untimely Deaths lock in points for good or ill. When enough characters buy the space-farm, the game ends and the most miserable crew wins.
* It's all about storytelling. The players, not the cards, provide the depressing details about why "The Engineer" was so deeply "Troubled by Tribbles."

A standalone Gloom game of transparent parody and miserable monarchs

Gloom of Thrones spreads the misery and suffering of Gloom to the ill-fated land of dead monarchs, dead knights, dead brothers, dead sisters, dead heirs, dead grandmothers, dead chambermaids, and almost-dead bastards.

Plague your family with horrible mishaps like being Seduced by a Sibling or Tumbled from a Tower, while filling the lives of the other noble families with happy events like weddings and family reunions. The player with the lowest-scoring, most tragedy-afflicted family wins!

Featuring clear plastic cards, a new Porcelain Throne mechanic, and all-new artwork, this game of transparent machinations is sure to dismay.

Time: 60 minutes
Age: 14+
Players: 2-4

Unfortunate Expeditions introduces expeditions into the game. Only one expedition can be in play at a time. An expedition's rules affect all players as long as it remains in play. When you play a modifier of untimely death that has an expedition symbol, resolved the immediate effects of the card, then replace the current expedition with the one shown on the card. Some cards also have special effects that occur if an active expedition is already in play when the card is played.

In the Gloom card game, you make your eccentric family of misfits suffer the greatest tragedies possible before helping them pass on to the well-deserved respite of death. Just mix the 55 transparent cards in this set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family of intrepid explorers who've faced misfortune across the globe. These days Colonel Bumpersnoot is really more of a bargain hunter, while Lady Bumpersnoot struggles with high society -- but she always loves to have guests for dinner. Their Towering Treehouse is included as a Residence card to use with the Unhappy Homes expansion.

An Expansion Deck for Gloom
In the Gloom card game, you make your eccentric family of misfits suffer the greatest tragedies possible before helping them pass on to the well-deserved respite of death. Just mix the 55 transparent cards included in this set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family - the artistes of Le Canard Noir, whose creative endeavors always end in disaster.

When art lets you down, the Black Duck is there for you. This dingy café is home to a motley assortment of washed-up bohemians. Here the tormented painter Rosseau buys drinks for neurotic models and destitute poets, while a troubled actress and sickly courtesan compare notes across the way.

Also included are five Residences, which are each placed next to their related family at the start of the game. New cards called Mysteries are also shuffled into the deck before play. A Mystery is the only card that can be placed on a Residence, and can be placed on any Residence as either of your two plays. It gives that Residence's player a special effect and Pathos points that count toward his final Family Value.

(NOTE: The first edition release of Unquiet Dead remains in stock and is fully playable with all second edition games. The second esition only has a larger box, otherwise the contents are the same!)

In the Gloom card game, you make your eccentric family of misfits suffer the greatest tragedies possible before helping them pass on to the well-deserved respite of death. Just mix the 55 transparent cards in this set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths. Unquiet Dead also introduces Stories, Undead, and Timing Symbols.

The families of Gloom have many skeletons in their closets. In Unquiet Dead, the spooks come out to play. Mad scientists can reanimate relatives or invent invisibility. Vampires and shapeshifters can terrorize the townsfolk and go mad in the moonlight. Will you give up the ghost, or will you hold onto it?

STORIES: These cards give your families even more to fight over. Whoever claims a story gains a special benefit ... but how long can you keep it?

UNDEAD: There are seven Modifiers that allow a Character to become a supernatural creature -- a vampire, mummy, ghost, ghoul, wereduck, invisible person, or haunted portrait. These Undead Characters are both living and dead; you can still play Modifiers and Events on them, but they also count toward your Family Value and toward ending the game.

TIMING SYMBOLS: Card effects in Unquiet Dead have symbols to let you know whether a card has an Instant effect that occurs when the card is played from your hand; an Ongoing effect that lasts until it is covered by another card; or a Persistent effect that can last as long as the Character is still alive... or Undead.

An Expansion Deck for Gloom
In the Gloom card game, you make your eccentric family of misfits suffer the greatest tragedies possible before helping them pass on to the well-deserved respite of death. Just mix the 55 transparent cards in this new set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family - the malodorous Malone mob - including The Broken Arms Hotel as a Residence card to use with the Unhappy Homes expansion. When Boils Malone brought his family overseas to "get away from the heat," he wasn't expecting quite so much rain!

Adding an extra level of strategy, new persistent effect icons on cards allow their special effects to continue to be active even if covered by another card. A persistent effect ends only when the attached character is killed.

Also inside are five Unwelcome Guest cards. Deal one or more face up to the table's center at the start of the game. Guests "follow" the card types noted on them; no matter where it currently is, a living Guest immediately moves to join the family of the character on which one of its "trigger" cards is played. All its Modifiers are moved with it, and it's considered a member of that family until it moves again. This may delay the game's end if a final play draws a Guest to the near-winner's family!
