Gloom: Unquiet Dead
Atlas Games |
From Atlas Games and just in time for Halloween is Unquiet Dead, the 4th expansion to the popular card game, Gloom. This expansion adds new modifiers, events, and untimely deaths and introduces Stories, Undead, and Timing Symbols.
With Stories, whoever claims a Story gains a special benefit. But just try and see how long you can keep it. The Undead are special modifiers that let players become a supernatural creature perhaps a mummy, or a ghost, or a vampire, or a haunted portrait, etc. These will also count as both living and dead. Timing Symbols will tell players if a card has an Instant, Ongoing, or Persistent effect at a glance. The spooks have definitely come out to play in this expansion!

Tokaido
Passport Game Studios |
Tokaido is a 45-60 minute game for 2-5 players. You are travelers on Japan’s important route that connects Kyoto to Edo (now Tokyo), the East Sea Road. This route offers a variety of stations in which travelers may acquire souvenirs, meet interesting people, visit shrines, taste local cuisine, take a dip in a hot springs, and collect art panels to complete a beautiful landscape picture. All of these opportunities provide various ways to score points or gain abilities. Beginning at either Kyoto or Edo players will all travel in the same direction. Turn order is determined by the player occupying the last spot on the road. Therefore, players must balance how quickly they want to travel down the road. Do you move fast and far so you can be first at a desired station’s opportunity? Or do you take your time stopping at more stations? Each station has a limit on the number of travelers who can stop there so you don’t want to be too far behind as you may miss a valuable opportunity.
