A game called “Guillotine” sure doesn’t sound like a fun family game. And believe me, when I first heard about the Guillotine card game, I quickly wrote it off as well. But I later heard more about it and it sounded light and fun. So I bought a copy a few years ago and have enjoyed playing it with both family and friends.

If you’re looking for a great card game to accompany your Halloween celebrations this month, then pick up a copy of Gloom.

Just hearing the theme though, we can see how you might be turned off.
Don’t be.
It’s a light-hearted game with silly situations that’s a lot of fun to play and laugh along the way.

But do the high quality components deliver a high quality game?
