When art lets you down, the Black Duck is there for you. This dingy cafe is home to a motley assortment of washed-up bohemians. Here the tormented painter Rosseau buys drinks for neurotic models and destitute poets, while a troubled actress and sickly courtesan compare notes across the way. 

The Unhappy Homes expansion for Gloom expands the game with Residences and Mysteries. These new cards give your wretched relatives a place to hang their hat, if they can survive the bumps in the night. It also includes a new family, les artistes of Le Canard Noir, whose creative endeavors always end in disaster.

To use Unhappy Homes, just mix its 55 transparent cards together with your other Gloom cards to add morbid new Modifiers, Events, and Untimely Deaths to your unfortunate entertainment.
