Description

Gloom is a fun, macabre, card game that’s easy to learn. The cards have a really unique see-through design that helps you to total up your misery points! You need two valuable attributes to win this game: teamwork and support. These are vital because you don’t get to see your cards. Instead, they can only be seen by your teammates, who have to give you clues regarding their colors and numbers. Players also have one of two unique powers, depending on the color they choose. They tend to be variations on a theme. For example, the green player either gets an extra die when exorcizing ghosts or may reroll any dice one time during an exorcism. He/she also gets some control over the curse die, either by ignoring it or getting to reroll it. Ghost Stories is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players that plays in about an hour. Ghost Stories plays best with 4 players. Game Overview: Player either play as Sins or Heroes. Heroes are divided into different classes, and each specializes in different aspects:

As you explore spooky events will happen and you’ll discover items called Omens. Omens usually make your character stronger or give them special abilities. But there is a price to pay… That said, having won twice in eight plays (albeit at the easiest setting), surely this is easier than Ghost Stories, a game I never won? Fluxx games always start off the same. You can draw 1 card and play 1 card. Simple enough to start with. But as you go along, the number of cards you can draw, the number of cards you can play, and even how you win changes with the draw of a card! If a Hunter lands on one of these locations, the card must be revealed, giving them an idea of where he is. If they find him, or he shows himself, combat ensues.At the end of the two minutes, the ghost reveals which guesses were correct. Mediums who guessed right move on to working out the location of the crime. Those who failed to receive new vision cards, and continue to guess the suspect. Each spirit has its own elemental and unique powers, and so an effective team strategy where everyone gets the best out of their abilities must come into play.

The other nice thing about Ghost Stories is how incredibly thematic it is. From the rich and colorful artwork to the unique powers of the samurai, Ghost Stories really makes the players feel like they are defending this ancient, asian village. I could stare at the colorful artwork all day long, its that well done.

What matters is that you achieve your goal, and that is to defeat as many monsters and beasts as you can before time (the cards) runs out. In most board games you’re striving to be the happiest, the best, most progressive player. Gloom turns that on its head. Moreover, you need to have a good strategy, because the game itself is designed to make winning very challenging.

Note, however, that there has to be one person among all the players who will take the role of the ghost. This person provides insights, clues, and other hints to help the others investigate. As in the books, your goal is to defeat the evil lord Sauron before he consolidates power and control over Middle Earth. You have to choose your heroes, allies, and armies to accomplish your tasks and achieve your goals. All-in-all, if you are looking for something different to play where you can all be on the same team, then I’d say give Ghost Stories a shot. A word of caution though, the game is somewhat symbol dependent that can add to the learning curve. I won’t say it’s a gamer only game, but it’s probably slightly more advanced then you’d choose for a non-gamer friendly group. If you are looking for something that’s easier for non-gamers, I’d hit up Pandemic first. That being said, Ghost Stories is still a lot of fun for anyone that loves a challenge. From the name of the board game itself, it is clear that it involves broken trust, deception, and betrayal. In other words, if you don’t have the guts to deceive your friends in a game, then don’t even think about playing!
