Chez Goth

About this board game

Chez Goth is a humorous card game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Released in 2004, it can be played on its own or combined with other games in the Chez Geek line.

Step into a house shared by Goth roommates, where angst, nookie, and everyday roommate troubles make up another Friday night. You still have a dreary job, hard-earned money, and precious time to manage—but life at Chez Goth has its own gloomy style.

Use your money and time to accumulate Slack points, or collect Gloom when life turns against you. The world of Chez Goth offers plenty of thematic ways to shape your experience, from buying Clothes, Shinies, and Booze to embracing dramatic misfortune.

• Work at a dreary job.
• Spend money and time to accumulate Slack points.
• Collect Gloom when life turns against you.
• Cough, Complain, or Faint Dramatically—especially with an audience.
• Look for the possibility of some Graveyard Nookie.

With its irreverent humor and illustrations by John Kovalic, Chez Goth gives the award-winning Chez Geek formula a distinct Goth twist. The cards can also be combined with Chez Geek, letting you create a house full of Goths and slackers together.

Whether played as a standalone experience or mixed with another Chez game, Chez Goth turns shared living into a sharply comic struggle involving roommates, spending, Slack, and Gloom. Fortunately, it is just a game—or so it seems.
