Summary: To explain that this is a card game that provides history
Review: I have loved mysteries and games all my life so the chance to make a mystery game was a dream come true. This is the first in a series of cases that allow you to play a fun game based on rummy and learn a lot about the case. Future cases are The Murders in the Rue Morgue and Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde to name 2. I hope you enjoy playing the game as much as I did making it.

Summary: If you're into that sort of thing . . .
Review: The gameplay's actually pretty good, but my friends and I just can't get past the whole Jack the Ripper theme. It's pretty depressing. Why'd they make a game out of it? Why the heck did I buy it? I don't know.

Summary: A chillingly fun card game!
Review: This delightful card game is a perfect combination of mystery and rummy. In the first of three installments of mystery rummy the players attempt to solve the Jack the Ripper murders. Play truly begins when one of the players plays a Victim card, thus signaling the beginning of the Ripper Murders. Each player tries to form melds (three of a kind or more) of evidence cards against various suspects. As the game progresses new victims are found, evidence mounts, and alabis can be provided. When a player gets rid of all the cards in their hand the round is over. The suspect with the most evidence against them (without an alabi) is Jack the Ripper. Cards pertaining to that suspect are doubled in value for all players. But be careful, if all five victims are revealed, it is possible for Jack to escape, leaving all but one player vitually pointless for the round. A little extra strategy is thrown in by allowing a vote during the hand. Each player secretly writes down who they believe will be Jack the Ripper at the end of the hand. Players who are correct score bonus points. This is a great rummy game. It's perfect for a quiet night at home with a loved one, or for a small group at a Halloween party. I highly recommend this game.

Summary: An awesome game for card lovers and Ripper fans alike.
Review: This is a great game. Being similiar to rummy its easy to learn yet different enough to make it even more entertaining. The process of collecting evidence and placing victims with scenes as you build a case against a particular suspect is challenging and fun at the same time. My favorite aspects of the game is the explainations on the cards. These explanations give insight into the Whitechapel Murders which occured in the East End of London during 1888. I found them so interesting I am now reading The Complete History of Jack the Ripper to get the full story. An awesome game all around!
