Gloom in Space (ENG) - Cardgame:

Gloom in Space is a standalone variant of the popular card game Gloom, designed by Keith Baker. This edition brings the dark humor and unique mechanics of Gloom into space, where players must make their crew suffer before ultimately meeting their demise.

Key Features:

• Gameplay Mechanics: Gloom in Space retains the core mechanics of Gloom, where players use transparent cards to make their characters as miserable as possible. Players place negative effects on their own crew members and positive effects on those of their opponents. The goal is to have the crew with the lowest self-worth score when all members are dead.
• New Cards and Theme: The set includes 110 transparent cards with a sci-fi theme, featuring new characters like Smugglers, Captains, Doctors, and Dark Lords. Players must face dangers such as monoliths, compactors, and hostile space attacks.
• Interaction and Strategy: Just like the original Gloom, players can sabotage each other by playing positive cards on each other’s characters, making the game highly interactive. The transparent cards stack, so previous effects remain visible and continue to influence the game.
• Components: In addition to the transparent cards, the set includes a rulesheet and a convenient storage box. The illustrations stay true to Gloom’s distinctive style, but with a playful sci-fi twist.

The simple rules make it accessible for new players, while the strategic depth and interaction keep it engaging for seasoned players.
