This card game is so good at causing despair that it almost caused my friend group to break up over a friendly game we played over dinner. It was very fun and also infuriating. In Gloom, players control a family of misanthropic misfits and attempt to make thir characters “as miserable as possible before allowing them the sweet respite of death… Players narrate their characters’ misfortunes and mishaps, creating unique stories of suffering in each game. May the most miserable soul win!”
