‘Fairytale Gloom’- Fantasy Board Game Review

The Bottled Imp - Episode 109
‘What big teeth you have Grandma?” The Bottled Imp makes a swift retreat from Grandma’s house as we play Fairytale Gloom the card game for 2 to 5 players designed by Keith Baker and published by Atlas Games.

Fairytale Gloom tells the truth behind those childhood fairytales we all love and know. The aim of the game is to make your family of well-loved fairytale characters as miserable as possible! Yes, the truth behind the tales is not a happy one. Giants fall from the sky; wolves and old women eat children; and young girls break-and-enter to steal porridge from unsuspecting families.

Each player plays various different types of cards on either their own or their opponents family cards to change the mood of each fairytale character. You succeed if all of your family character cards are showing a negative score and you end their story with an Unhappy Ending Card.

I’ve known about the original Gloom for a long time but never played it. So when I unearthed a copy of Fairytale Gloom in my local games shop, I jumped at the chance to play. Who doesn’t want to bring misery to the ones you love the most?
