The next realm of wonder about to fall under the spell of Gloom's death-prone families are the beloved, classic stories of your youth.

Fairy Tale Gloom is on the way, like a magical, flying godmother ready to perturb you with peas, foil you with fairies, and surprise you with spiders.

Fairy tales are awful. Wolves and old women eat children, giants fall from the sky, and even young girls break-and-enter to steal porridge from unsuspecting families.

In Fairytale Gloom, custom collections of fairy tale characters like Jack, Gretel, Puss in Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood do their best to stay happy, but circumstances conspire to rain woe on their sad, benighted heads.

These heroes become beasts, give up on Grandma, and cry wolf once too often. Even though they look into magic mirrors and kill golden geese, most end their days living in giant shoes... or worse.

Eventually, enough Unhappy Endings come to pass that the game ends. And then? The most miserable collection of characters wins!

Gameplay Basics
Each player chooses their own collection of fairy tale protagonists.
Modifiers add or subtract points. You could play Dwelt With Some Dwarfs on Rapunzel, for example.
Unhappy Endings lock in points for good or ill. Perhaps Goldilocks Cried Wolf Once Too Often.
It s all about storytelling: Players weave tales around what comes to pass. What happened, exactly, when Joe the Giant Married a Murderer?
With transparent cards, the points you can see are the points in play it's that simple!
