Ipsey Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The Ticket to Ride post got me to thinking: I've been considering this purchase for a couple of years. My kids love Munchkin, and I think we would love it, but I'd like to hear from people who have already tried it. Do you think it would be a good Christmas gift? If you have it, please tell me your experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I have regular Gloom and Cthulu gloom. It is a fun, silly, morbid game. Have you watched the Tabletop episode with Gloom?

LostSurprise Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've played it once or twice. If you like Munchkin and don't mind a mildly morbid game, I think you'll like it. They both have a lot of random luck and a sense of humor. There is a quick-thinking/storytelling aspect to the game. Some people are just better at that than others, but it's fairly easy to jump in so most people don't mind. Scoring is pretty easy to figure out too.

We're a bunch o' BS'ers, so I think the storytelling thing will work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have two versions of Gloom, I have the Cthulu version and the regular. It is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 We like gloom! It also is a small game, so it's great to pack up for travel. Helps to have a dark sense of humor. You can see the game play on Tabletop (warning - probably PG13 content) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
