1998 · Murder / Mystery

Mystery Rummy: Jack the Ripper

Players assemble hands of Victims, Suspects, Scenes, and Evidence using a Rummy-style draw-and-discard system to build sets and melds that form cases against potential culprits. Each suit corresponds to a suspect; the suspect with the most cards played when a player goes out is declared guilty. If all Victim cards enter play before the end, the Ripper escapes and the player who brought out the final Victim card gains bonus points. Rounds play quickly and score tracks which players most successfully link evidence and scenes to suspects over several hands.

    It's a diversion, although not as fun as #4. Still, has a neat theme and idea, and seems best with two or three players.
