...because I've received a card game called Gloom! I told my SS I'm a big fan of board/card games. I'd never heard of this one before so I did a little research.

The point of the game is to have the most miserable family. Simultaneously, you're telling the story of your family's misfortune as you play the cards. Yhese cards portray different tragedies that befall the characters during the game.

Eventually you're trying to kill off your family members, who have hopefully lived miserable lives! The worse the tragedies and more terrible the deaths, the more points you LOSE. The player with the LOWEST score wins!

I'm excited to try this game out and make my gaming group depressed! They're wayyyy too happy when we play together. In all seriousness though, thanks to my SS! I may have never heard of this game if you hadn't sent it to me. This should give my holidays lots of morbid fun. :)
