Gloom: Unhappy Homes

About the game

A closer look.

Home is where the heart is buried beneath the floorboards. Unhappy Homes expands Gloom with Residences and Mysteries. These new cards give your wretched relatives a place to hang their hat, if they can survive the bumps in the night. Each family now has an associated Residence card. Only one type of card can be played on a Residence: Mysteries. These give special effects to the owner of the Residence: set up a morbid museum or a menacing menagerie to lower your final Family Value, invite daring detectives to draw more cards, and so much more. A new family is coming to town! Meet Les Artistes of Le Canard Noir, whose creative endeavors always end in disaster. When art lets you down, the Black Duck is there for you. This dingy cafe is home to a motley assortment of washed-up bohemians. Here the tormented painter Rosseau buys drinks for neurotic models and destitute poets, while a troubled actress and sickly courtesan compare notes across the way. With their Residences and Mysteries, a new eccentric family of misfits and a ton of new morbid Modifiers, Events and Untimely Deaths... It's the perfect mix to make the worst things happen!
