I didn't exactly make it easy for my Santa. Board Game Santa (BGS) asked me how many people I like to play with and what kinds of games I really like. Unfortunately, I was unhelpfully vague. After all, I don't have that much experience with board games--especially of the nerdier variety.

What did BGS do? Basically got me the coolest looking game ever!

I got the Gloom card game. I've actually seen it played on Wil Wheaton's Table Top before and thought it looked really cool. And get this: The cards are transparent!! I feel so rad just holding them.

As soon as my friends get back in town, I'm going to invite them over to play Gloom, and it's going to be epic.

Thanks, BGS! You totally nailed it.
