Description Description
The 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 in this new set together with your copy of Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family - the malodorous Malone mob - including The Broken Arms Hotel as a Residence card to use with the Unhappy Homes expansion. When Boils Malone brought his family overseas to “get away from the heat,” he wasn’t expecting quite so much rain! Adding an extra level of strategy, new persistent effect icons on cards allow their special effects to continue to be active even if covered by another card. A persistent effect ends only when the attached character is killed. Also inside are five Unwelcome Guest cards. Deal one or more face up to the table’s center at the start of the game. Guests “follow” the card types noted on them; no matter where it currently is, a living Guest immediately moves to join the family of the character on which one of its “trigger” cards is played. All its Modifiers are moved with it, and it’s considered a member of that family until it moves again. This may delay the game’s end if a final play draws a Guest to the near-winner’s family.

This is my fave Gloom expansion. The Unwelcome Guest cards jump from family to family and function as another family member to kill if you currently have them. They give extra powers. One guest cannot be killed, so acts like an old maid type of card. Good.

Increases the laughs in the original game and adds a few tweaks. A must have for Gloom fans!

I love adding the Unwelcome Guests expansion to Gloom as it adds another layer to gameplay. It's lots of fun to use the additional characters to your advantage/against your opponents.

Lots of interesting guest characters - the guest mechanic can make it hard to keep track of things, but if you can manage them they're lots of fun. Atlas REALLY should have included some kind of specific rulesheet to explain that Whiskers can only be claimed using a specific 'steal a guest' card mechanic (rather than making me search through their irritating website with no search feature for a half an hour to try to find necessary information).
