Gloom 2nd Ed: Unhappy Homes (Expansion)

In the Gloom card game, watch your wacky and odd - ball family endure the worst tragedies. Then, help them find peace in death. This expansion set comes with 55 transparent cards. Mix them with your Gloom game to introduce spooky new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths. There's also a brand - new family, the artistes of Le Canard Noir. Their artistic attempts always end in a mess! The Black Duck, a shabby cafe, is the hang - out of washed - up bohemians. Here, the tortured painter Rosseau buys drinks for models with nerves and poor poets. A troubled actress and a sickly courtesan chat nearby. The set includes five Residences with a light blue background behind the central picture. Place them next to their related family at the start of the game. New 'Mysteries' cards, with a dark blue effects bar at the bottom, are shuffled into the deck. Mysteries are special; they're the only cards that can be placed on Residences, giving players special effects and Pathos points for their final Family Value. You can even discard a Mystery from your hand for free.

To use this Gloom Second Edition Unhappy Homes Expansion, start by taking the 55 transparent cards included in the set and mixing them with your regular Gloom game cards. At the beginning of the game, place the five Residences with the light - blue background next to their related family. Shuffle the new 'Mysteries' cards, which have a dark - blue effects bar at the bottom, into the deck. When it's your turn, you can play a Mystery card on any Residence as one of your two plays. Remember, a Mystery card stays in place even if the requirements for playing it are no longer met. You can also discard a Mystery from your hand as a free play. As for maintenance, keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent them from getting damaged or warped. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or high humidity. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
