Love this game, love this expansion. I like the fact that there are more duck cards. Hooray for ducks!

Gloom: Dimore Affrante
Gloom: Dimore Affrante is an expansion that adds 55 new transparent cards to the base game. Discover the eccentric family of Le Canard Noir artists, new Modifiers, Events, Untimely Deaths and special Mystery cards with persistent effects. Includes 5 unique Residences to expand gameplay variety. Perfect for those seeking more options and strategies. Published by uplay.it, for 2-5 players ages 13+.
- 55 cards (63.0mmx88.0mm)
The Gloom: Unhappy Homes expansion adds one player and 55 cards to the game. Here is a description of the expansion from the publisher:
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 included in this set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family -- the artistes of Le Canard Noir, whose creative endeavors always end in disaster.
Also included are five Residences with a light blue background behind their central illustration. These are each placed next to their related family at the start of the game. New cards called Mysteries, which have a dark blue effects bar at the bottom, are also shuffled into the deck before play. A Mystery is the only card that can be placed on a Residence (and only a Residence), and can be placed on any Residence as either of your two plays. It gives that Residence's player a special effect and Pathos points that count toward his final Family Value. A Mystery remains even if the requirements for playing it are lost. You may discard a Mystery from your hand as a free play.

Getting the opportunity to modify the overall gloominess of your house is an interesting mechanic. I will say, though, that the requirements are somewhat difficult when playing all expansions.
First expansion for Gloom that I picked up. Has a nice flow of bringing in the homes of the families while also adding in more cards for overall enjoyment!
Houses might be the simplest expansion mechanic they've released for Gloom, which makes it also possibly the only fun one. Another charming family, but all the expansion families are great.
This is a pretty fun game and it's hard to keep your eye on the goal because it's so much fun screwing up other players unhappiness.
