Mystery Rummy Case #1: Jack the Ripper

This game combines an exciting Jack the Ripper theme with a classic Rummy framework. Players use Victim, Suspect, Scene, and Evidence - meld cards to build a case against suspects in the famous serial murders. When a player goes out, the suit with the most played cards reveals the guilty party. But beware, if all Victim cards are out before the game ends, the Ripper may escape, awarding the player who played that card extra points.

To play this game, first shuffle the cards. Each player gets a set number of cards. Then start taking turns playing Victim, Suspect, Scene, and Evidence - meld cards to build your case against the suspects. The goal is to figure out who is the Ripper by seeing which suit has the most cards when someone goes out. Keep an eye on the Victim cards. If they all come out before the game is over, the Ripper can escape. After the game, just shuffle the cards well and store them in a dry place to keep them in good condition.
