plagued by poodles
i've been dealing with a stomach ick since sunday. this has made me want to lie low, eat bland foods, and sip coconut juice. in the effort to remain mellow, grant & i tried a new card game which was gifted to us by scott & amanda.
Gloom is made by the Lunch Money folks and features a Gorey-esque morbid style of art, characters and events. the goal is to inflict as much misery as possible on your own characters while causing happy moments for your opponents. the one with the lowest "self worth" score wins.
so far, our pack only allows for 4 players but i learned today that expansion packs are available to increase the number of players and add more features to the game. we played about 4 rounds to learn the rules and get a feel for the strategy and are now ready to start playing this game with other people...the only catch is it's more of a "home" game than a "bar" game since the cards are dark and difficult to see in low lighting.
interested?
