Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall

Embrace the darkly delightful once again...

In the Gloom card game, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but simple: you want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death.

Misery and mysteries abound at Hemlock Hall, the imposing estate of Lord Wellington-Smythe and his eccentric family of misfits. When you’re invited inside for an evening’s entertainment, what could possibly go wrong? Will you cuddle with cats or thwart a thief? Will you brawl over brandy or fall prey to the plague? At Hemlock Hall, awful amusements become deadly diversions with the flip of a card.

Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall is a darkly humorous stand-alone competitive storytelling card game for 2-4 players. To win, you make your characters suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. The player with the most negative score wins. And in Gloomier, the winner gets the final word: who was the murderer? How did the heist end? You decide!

Gloomier features transparent plastic cards, allowing a character’s score — and story — to evolve as cards are stacked on top of each other.

Ages 14+
