Fans of Cthulhu Gloom, from Atlas Games, should be on the lookout for a new expansion which brings H. P. Lovecraft’s The Dreamlands cycle into the game. Cthulhu Gloom: Unpleasant Dreams adds new cards, rules, and a new family to your gaming table to enhance your gameplay and heighten the madness. The expansion should be on store shelves in November and carries an MSRP of $14.95.
From Atlas:
In Cthulhu Gloom, your make your intrepid investigators face the most terrible terrors and madness before helping them pass on to their inevitable doom. Unpleasant Dreams brings the wonders and horrors of the Dreamlands to the table. Mix the 55 transparent cards in this set together with your copy of Cthulhu Gloom to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, Stories, Transformations, and Untimely Deaths, and a new family that calls the Dreamlands their home. Can you survive the creeping chaos of Nyarlathotep? Will your shantak be a loyal mount, or will you meet your end when you approach Azathoth? Dive into your own unpleasant dreams to find out!
NEW RULES: Also inside are two new Character cards called Unwelcome Guests. Deal one or both face up to the table’s center at the the start of the game, and set aside the rest. Guests “follow” the card types noted on them; no matter where it currently is, a living Guest immediately moves to join the family of the character on which one of its “trigger” cards is played. All its Modifiers are moved with it, and it’s considered a member of that family until it moves again. This may delay the game’s end if a final play draws a Guest to the near-winner’s family!
