I love the card game Gloom (http://www.atlas-games.com/product_tables/AG1250.php) You can read about the game on their site.
This was originally one of my Charging Boxes but after I brought the deck home I knew there could be no better place to keep them then this gothic box! LOL
I've used this deck to do readings for myself and others for fun. It's actually worked out quite well; which has often led me to wonder if the person who created the cards has some knowledge or background in the paranormal. Each card has a definition for readings and I randomly picked 3 people from the active topics list...
LadyME
Card Professor Helena Slogar- Eccentric Inventor, Helena enjoys gardening, long walks in the moonlight, and reanimating the dead.
Reading Now is a good time for you to exercise the relationship between you & your spirits and explore new avenues and experiences between you.
Card Was ruined by rum, the bane of pirates and socialites alike.
Reading Avoid any new or old pitfalls of temptation right now because they will be more damaging at present then they have been in the past.
Mongrella
Card Lord Wellington-Smythe, Dumbfounded Duke, Since the death of his wife, he has doted on his two youngest children... despite the remarkable lack of paternal resemblance.
Reading Be cautious of family (immediate or extrernal) strife. Don't fall into any old arguments or take sides in any present or upcoming dramas.
Card Was delighted by ducklings, they say the Devil adores a duck
Reading You'll have some newfound joy in your life. Soak it up and enjoy the positive energies!
Icequeen
Card Elias E. Gorr, Itinerant Gravedigger, it can be hard for a traveling grave digger to find jobs, but there's always work at Castle Slogar.
Reading There is going to be a prospect presented to you, be it for work or for a hobby trade, for traveling; think about it carefully before you committ to an answer.
Card Was the tout of the town, enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame! Next stop: a lifetime of dull misery
Reading Something absolutely wonderful is going to happen, revel in the glory of it in every aspect for as long as it lasts!

It's an absolutely hilarious game, and the first time I used the deck for reading I did it on myself and the cards that were returned to me made sense to my question. It piqued my curiosity so I did another question & reading and it was accurate. I've found that doing a 2-part reading with the deck works the best; one character card, and one situation card. After that I did readings for myself, Ash, and others just spontaneously and it's worked well. There's just a really great energy from the deck which I think lends it to being a great tool.

Reading Take some stock & examination in your current love-life situation; are there any changes, improvements or truths for the future?
