Gloom - Fairytale - AG1332

Gloom: Fairytale (AG1332) from Atlas Games is a card game for 2 to 4 players that wraps the darkly comic mechanics of the original Gloom game in a classic fairy tale setting. Players guide their hapless storybook characters through a parade of misfortunes, trying to make their own family as miserable as possible before putting them out of their suffering — while cheerfully improving the fortunes of everyone else's. The transparent card mechanic, where cards are layered over characters to show or hide their current happiness or suffering values, remains the heart of the game and makes every turn a visual story in itself. Gloom: Fairytale plays in around 60 minutes and suits players aged 13 and up, making it a solid pick for family game nights with older kids or for fans of offbeat storytelling games.
