Get ready to dive into the miserable world of The Gloom Chronicles, the latest expansion from Keith Baker, released in 2022. This game is all about storytelling and legacy, where you and your friends, 2 to 5 of you, can weave tales of woe and misfortune. The best part is that the rules are super simple, so you can jump right in and start playing. With The Gloom Chronicles, you'll have a unique foundation for your game, with 20 different cards to set the stage for a new story each time. You can play through them in order, creating an extended campaign that follows the fate of your family, or mix it up and choose a card at random for a fresh start. The Gloom Chronicles is designed to enhance any game of Gloom, with narrative prompts that give players a unified foundation for their stories, and variant rules that challenge both new and experienced players. Whether you're starting with the Unhappy Birthday or ending up at the infamous World's Unfair, the story is yours to tell. As an expansion, it can be combined with other Gloom games, such as Gloom: Unhappy Homes, Gloom: Unwelcome Guests, and more, to create a unique experience each time. So gather your friends and get ready to embark on a journey of woe and humor, where the story is always changing, but the misery is always guaranteed.
