A stand-alone card game that uses the transparent gameplay of Gloom to bring the world of Munchkin to new depths of despair and misery.
Players must navigate dark dungeons, fetid fields, and terrible taverns with sad suds.
What It’s About
There are plenty of happy people in the world of Munchkin. Warriors who
slay monsters, adventurers who grab loot, heroes who level up. Heck, halflings
who stay at home eating pie all day.
But the world of Munchkin is also sad and benighted. A place where those
very same Munchkins are all too often backstabbed by buddies, dined on by
dragons, and discovered by doom ducks. Heroes delve too deep, plummet
down pits, and lose their loot. And that’s before they die.
In Munchkin Gloom, players shepherd their parties through terrible travails and
troublesome tribulations until — inevitably — they perish in pain.
Naturally, the most miserable fellowship wins.

points in play — it’s that simple!
