Amber was so entertaining on this episode. I love it when the guest get completely into the game and its story telling aspects.

The first time I played this game, I married one of my opponent's family members to Edward Cullen and she died of shame. Meanwhile, Lola, one of my characters, was tripped down three flights of stairs into the kitchen where she was baked into a stew. she was then shat out, revived, almost burnt to death by a mob, chased by a pack of dogs on her way home, tripped through a window, and was baked into a pie to be eaten and shat out again. Good times, good times.

+Grace Charlton yes I was noticing that one person didn't limit their hand when the text was showing, and none of the discards were taking place. they would have gotten through alot more cards.

Played it for the first time in a long time because ironically one of my friends took pity on the fact that I brought it to game night so many times but nobody would play with me. Basically the Wellington-Smythes had a terrible Christmas feast and the New Years one was only slightly but then the Lord went through a Christmas Carol arc (is my friend being devious and removing all the modifiers) only to be murdered by an angry mob anyway. And then Lola put the family into debt before dying and leaving the lordship to the twins

Just saying... But in a game like Gloom, surely being the only Loser... Kinda makes you the REAL winner... right? Also I'm kinda in love with Amber Benson, just putting that out there.

Michele won at losing, in a game where losing is winning, so technically, Michele won. I stand by my mutated logic.

While I Was working at a phone center, I started playing this game I liked to call Gloomitare. It was basically a single-person game of gloom where all you did was try and beat your score and time. IF you draw a positive card, you play it immediately. It ended up getting me through a lot of really annoying crap at the job. If you have a job that requires a lot of sitting around, give it a try!

I rewatch this game frequently for the background music :3

I found an Episode I haven't watched! holy crap.

I'm nerding out that Amber Benson who played Tara in Buffy is an occultist in real life like her character was.

This is exactly how you play Gloom. You need to weave the story. Great vid.

I love how they all get into the role playing part of the game. I would have a hard time finding three other people who would do that.

I've come to realize that they were ignoring the rules text on the cards and just concentrated on the storytelling. The rules and restrictions on the modifiers can sometimes really distract you from trying to make a story.

Not to mention the fact that, and correct me if I'm wrong, the rules to Gloom state that you cannot play an Untimely Death card as your 2nd play. Basically, you must play an Untimely Death card as your first play, so you couldn't just put your biggest modifier card down and kill that same character in one turn

Wil's aptitude for alliteration is astounding, astonishing and admirable.

Came to watch when the sequel, Gloomier is out on Kickstarter ~~ I miss this show badly😢

My first time watching this web show and I absolutely LOVED IT! Not only did you inspire me to want to purchase this game, I had a blast just watching this. Thank you SO MUCH.

I remember, once when I played, my opponent had the dog tried for treason. I also had Helena Slogar, the reanimator, steal a body to reanimate it as her new daughter in place of the one that died earlier during the game. Quite a fun game, the stories can get quite crazy.

Smug Will Cutout is awesome.

Amber is the most adorable human in the entire world.

My kids got me this game for Christmas (they have been looking at my pinterest wishlist). We have played it several times now and LOVE it. This game had to have been written for my family. Thanks for introducing us to it.

21:04 Yes, the mice on the moors of Massachusetts mutated and micturated, making muddy messes.

I think this is my favorite episode!

Can you guys please do the Cthulhu version of Gloom with Nika Harper on it? I can only imagine how a macabre narrative game like this would unfold with Nika at the table =D

Wil may have been the pro at alliteration but Amber wins on puns. "Mice-tro", ha!

I haven't played a card game or board game in about 20 years saw this and went and brought the game the following day.

Thanks Tabletop - I went out and bought this for me and my friends and we had a great time at our board game day :)

Meghan's voice is kinda soothing. haha

Were they playing this game right? It seems like they weren't at times. One card could only be played when a certain icon was on a character (when it wasn't), a hand didn't appear to get discarded when prompted to by a card...

In the rules you can play a more basic beginners game, which involves not using the effects on the cards. Just play with the modifiers.

I have to admit that, out of all the games that have been played on TableTop, Gloom is the only one that I not only bought BECAUSE of this episode, but the only one that I made a point of becoming expert at. It's the Addams in my DNA, I suppose. Of course, if TableTop had bothered to play ILLUMINATI, there would have been one other.

i love the pause between 3way.... victory

This was my favorite episode so far. I am getting this game.
