About the Game: 
Let's face it: fairytales are awful. Fairytale Gloom brings the misery and suffering of beloved, classic stories to life with a witty, darkly humorous twist. You and your fellow players will weave a tale of grimm events and unhappily-ever-afters, with the goal of making your characters suffer the greatest tragedies possible. The most miserable family wins the game!

Key Selling Points:

  • Storytelling Focus: Players are encouraged to tell the tragic tale of their characters as they play, adding a fun narrative element to the game.
