Mystery Rummy - Case 2: A. Edgar Allan Poe

The Murders in the Rue Morgue is one of the detective stories of Edgar Allan Poe and the Mystery Rummy series goes up for their second round. Maybe even in their third, for "Bonnie and Clyde" by Abacus is actually the second round, but who's counting on, can make out the collector to the really nice box with the number 2 next to the number 1 on the shelf. For a simple card game is the Mystery Rummy series of very high quality and therefore precious. I like this game Technically, it is again - and wants to be nothing else - a Rummy variant. The players (in the fourth game to play any two together) set of triplets, triplets to create matching cards to play and include special cards, the card exchange between partners or to look up maps. Throughout the game there is also a special stack (the orang-utan) collects the cards. These cards are either mixed into the second card or through serve as Special victory points for the successful team. A team or a player is successful when it is his cards like the classic Rummy going on and can lay the last card on the discard pile. The points are then obtained from the cards played, combinations and the orang-utan cards - minus the cards (the losing team).
Conclusion:
I find the entry in case 2 as in Case 1 But even here the rules for such a simple game are relatively complex. Were they, however, they understood the game itself is no longer a problem, the cooperation in the game to 4 I really liked it. It is important once the rule for advanced use, since then, the use of really useful event cards with victory points for the opposing team rewarded. As a hook, I feel the difference in points in each round. The losers are penalized with negative points and the winners will often also bonus points from the "orang-utan," said the ratings will separate strong. And what now is the better of the two Mystery Rummy? I should probably play again in direct succession, otherwise I can not say really.
