Mystery Rummy offers a new game concept in a bookcase box, combining the fascination of a classic crime puzzle with a strategic card game based on standard Rummy mechanisms. In the 1st case in the series the case of Jack the Ripper is examined which has not yet been solved by Scotland Yard till today. You play victims, suspects, scenes and combinations of clues. Most cards played determine the culprit, but if all victim cards turn up before the game ends, Jack can escape. There are clue cards and event cards; you try to collect sets of three or more clues in the same color. At the end of a round you score positive for laid-out cards and negative for cards in hand. When all victim cards turn up before the game ends, the culprit can escape.
