Gathering Gloom

A monster family works together to manage crises at their mansion, mortuary, and mining company while the villagers of Banebridge gather evidence and try to expose them. Players take the roles of monsters with unique abilities and vulnerabilities, using their attributes, beguiled villagers, and Misdeed cards to resolve a series of crises. Each turn brings new events, movement between locations, card-driven actions, and possible interference from villagers and stalkers. The family loses if gloom becomes too high or any monster’s fear reaches the exposure threshold.
