📖 About This Game
In the dark, damp confines of an ancient pyramid lies an artifact of priceless value: the lost idol of Jin-Ruh-Mee! Become the adventurer your father said you’d never be: find the idol and escape the pyramid. But beware the Mummy King – he’s a hugger.
Gin Mummy plays a lot like Gin Rummy except there are mummies and you can die.
The game itself is a free rules download. You'll need a standard 52-card deck.
In the game you'll make sets of 3 or more cards in order to dig through the deck and search for the lost idol. When the deck runs out, if you have the idol you win.
But be careful: Jack the Adventurer can steal the idol, the Mummy Queen will bury it back in the deck, and if the Mummy King finds you with the idol you're dead!
