Cthulhu Gloom

Cthulhu Gloom is Gloom with tentacles. You run a family of unlucky Lovecraftian characters from Dunwich, Innsmouth or Miskatonic University, and your goal is to make them as miserable, insane and doomed as possible before they die. Misery earns points, so you play cards that make your own people gibber with ghouls or learn loathsome lore, while pushing cheerful cards on your opponents to wreck their score. You tell the grim little stories out loud as you play, and the transparent cards stack on top of each other. It is a dark, witty storytelling card game for two to five players, best with a sense of humor and a taste for doom.
