"Bad cliche'd stereotypes"Dec 16, 2006 As said by my best friend, a goth for years. When you throw in a song because of it's song title and not it's band, in this case Guns and Roses, then there are issues. There were many things tied to the game for the simple fact that they could be connected to stereotypical things, even though they do not remotely have anything to do with the subject.
Things like Switchblade Symphony, the Crow, etc. were nowhere in the game.
So for you true goths, and you know who you are, this game is not even worth your consideration unless you wish to burn it and smile at the death of something that suffered without a choice. I leave the decision to you.
I enjoyed itSep 20, 2005 I've played alot of board games, but this one takes the cake. True, I didn't know very much to start with, but now I know a bit more than once before. It may be useless information, but if it ever comes up on a TV game show, you'll know it.

Puts the 'Fun' in Funeral!Jun 09, 2005 Time to encapsulate all of that knowledge that has lain dormant in your brain like a stiffened zombie all this time, and resurrect it from its mind-grave to manifest again to your benefit. All that seemingly useless trivia put to use. Here we have six catagories - Music [inclusive of said "Goth", as well as Death Metal and Classical}, HIstory {on such topics as Jack The Ripper, Vlad The Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory, and many more}, Literature {Poe, Stephen King, John Carpenter, Dante, Milton, Rice, and much more}, Art {Dore, Giger, Picasso, Dali, and more}, films & television {Dracula, The Munsters, Addams Family, Dark Shadows, and various obscure horror movies}, Superstitions, legendry, etc.
The board itself is quite fanciful - a graveyard strewn with tombstones - it is up to the player to fill his graveyard section to win the game by answering the most obscure questions correctly. The tokens themselves are enscribed with fanciful depictions of bats and skulls, and the pieces stack like checkers. But don't let the name fool you - there is a myriad of trivia encompassing much more than the mere "Goth" genre, spreading like a black plague through the centuries to necromance true, as well as fictional information from throughout the centuries.
This does certainly provide a delightful extension to the typical trivia game. I believe it would be nicely appreciated by draclings of all ages to form an educational recreation on amusing subject matter that matters to us.
Recommendation: Accompany the game with a skull and candle, alongside brooding background musick relative to the game for optimum effect. You may also wish to employ costumes to preserve that precious Halloween mindset.
One critique, however, is that some of the information is re-used but worded in a different manner, which may be useful to those naive to the dark world of Horror and The Occult. Overall, a good practice in "occult" knowledge, to desipher if any of that "wisdom" is applicable instead of just "hanging around" inside your skull spinning cobwebs. Use your gaming instincts to prove you know more than the next ghoul.
