Five Tribes Artisans Of Naqala Days Of Wonder

Represented by purple Meeples, the Artisans make up a new Tribe and add a new layer of strategy in the game. With their help, players will be able to have precious or magic items crafted. Some of them are worth Victory Points, while others unlock special powers.

To accommodate these new Meeples, the expansion also features new Djinns and new Tiles: Workshops (where the Artisans craft their Items) and Specialized Markets (where players can buy specific Merchandise when needed).

An impassable Chasm Tile, as well as Mountain markers, also force the players to adapt their strategy when moving Meeples on the board.

Mystery Rummy Case No. 1 Jack The Ripper U.S. Games Systems

The game features all of your favorite rules of Rummy, with card melds, points, and the like.  To go with this, the cards are all themed in a Jack the Ripper “London by Gaslight” theme.  There are victim cards, scene cards, evidence cards, and suspect cards.  To begin, someone must play a victim card before any evidence melds can be played.  Once a victim has been revealed, the players can begin placing their melds of evidence cards, which indicate which one of the 6 suspects might be the Ripper.  The more evidence cards in play, the more likely the given suspect is the infamous Ripper.
