Chez Goth

About the game

What is Chez Goth?

Another game in Steve Jackson's humorous Chez Geek line. It can be played standalone, or with any other Chez Geek game. Card illustrations are done by the always-funny John Kovalic. From the publisher's web site... "Angst. Nookie. Roommates. Just another Friday night at Chez Goth. This stand-alone game puts a new spin on the award-winning (and all too realistic) Chez Geek. You're still living with a bunch of roommates... but now you're a Goth! Work at your dreary job. Spend your hard-earned money and precious time to accumulate Slack points... or collect Gloom when life turns against you. As it will! You can earn Slack for buying Clothes, Shinies, and Booze... or you can just Cough, Complain, or even Faint Dramatically, especially if you have an audience. And if you get very lucky, there might be some Graveyard Nookie in your future. Yes, you can combine these cards with Chez Geek and have a house full of Goths AND slackers. Fortunately, it's just a game... isn't it? "
