Product Description

In the Gloom card game, you make your eccentric family of misfits suffer the greatest tragedies possible before helping them pass on to the well-deserved respite of death. Just mix the 55 transparent cards in this set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family of intrepid explorers who've faced misfortune across the globe. These days Colonel Bumpersnoot is really more of a bargain hunter, while Lady Bumpersnoot struggles with high society -- but she always loves to have guests for dinner. Their Towering Treehouse is included as a Residence card to use with the Unhappy Homes expansion.

Unfortunate Expeditions introduces Expeditions into the game. Set the new Expedition cards to one side. When you play a Modifier or Untimely Death with an Expedition symbol, resolve the immediate effects of the card, then place that Expedition in the center of the table. Only one Expedition can be in play at a time, so it replaces the current Expedition, if there is one. An Expedition's rules affect all players as long as it's in play. Some cards also have special effects that occur if a particular Expedition is already in play when they're played.

Adds 1 player. 55 transparent cards in a tuckbox.

Unfortunate Expeditions (Gloom) Review

I've been a fan of Gloom and Unhappy Homes for a few years now, but I just discovered the two other expansion packs (Uninvited Guests and Unfortunate Expeditions) last week! I got them in the mail yesterday, and immediately cracked them open with three other enthusiastic Gloom lovers and one complete novice to the game. With ALL of the cards and rules finally in play (except for two of the Uninvited Guests)...the game took us almost three hours. Woah. That's a liiiittle bit too long for some people, but overall we had a great time with it. I think it's important to note that the two new expansions are for players 13 and up (whereas the first two sets were for ages 8 and up), and that's no joke; they both add some DIFFICULT elements to the game, and it's hard to keep track of everything that...um, needs to be kept track of? I do recommend both packs to any true fans of Gloom, but don't be surprised when you start killing people off just to end the game, nevermind your scores.

Both packs have MUCH improved in printing quality; you can barely read the old cards compared to the new ones. I wish I could have my old packs retroactively reprinted! They look absolutely beautiful. My only fault with them is the directions are a little bit less understandable for these new cards. There were several points in the game where we all had to "agree" on how certain cards should be used since there seemed to be no description of how exactly to use them (ie. the white "event" [?] cards).

Overall, though, the new rules really liven things up!
