Gloom: Unquiet Dead

About this expansion

Gloom: Unquiet Dead is a 55-card expansion for 2–4 players that adds supernatural characters, Stories, Events, Modifiers, and Untimely Deaths to Gloom, with play lasting about 60 minutes.

Mix the transparent cards in this set with your copy of Gloom to give the game’s eccentric families even more morbid possibilities. Mad scientists may Reanimate Relatives or Invent Invisibility, while vampires and shape shifters can Terrorize the Townsfolk or Go Mad in the Moonlight.

Stories give families another reason to compete. Whoever claims a Story gains a special benefit, but keeping it may prove difficult. The set also introduces Undead, special Modifiers that can transform a Character into a supernatural creature while leaving that Character both living and dead.

• Vampire, mummy, ghost, ghoul, wereduck, invisible person, and haunted portrait Characters
• Stories that provide a special benefit to the family that claims them
• Timing Symbols for Instant, Ongoing, and Persistent effects

Undead Characters can still receive Modifiers and Events. At the same time, they count toward Family Value and toward ending the game, creating an unusual space between life and death.

The new Timing Symbols clarify when card effects apply. Instant effects occur when a card is played from your hand, Ongoing effects last until covered by another card, and Persistent effects can last while a Character remains alive—or Undead. With its ghosts, transformations, and grave consequences, Gloom: Unquiet Dead brings a distinctly supernatural layer to the original card game.
