Im Bann der Mumie

Dig up treasures, fight the Mummy

Lost in the valley of the dead Pharao you hunt for treasures of the on the one cursed for eternity. Never ever someone has escaped the curse of the deadly mummy. Unmentionably dreads lurk hidden in the sand. Already you can feel the bane of the mummy! One player embodies the mummy and the others try to gather as many treasures from the mummy as they can.

Players embodying treasure hunters can break the curse of the mummy when they manage to dig up the sarcophagus, the mummy player wins if he can hinder them to do that. When the players win together, among them the winner is who has the highest reward from the collected treasures. The Terror of the Mummy rises with every confrontation she wins, but the mummy herself gets weaker with every excavation, because excavation decreases her Evil Powers. So the players must cooperate to win early fights against the strong mummy and so weaken her. The rounds of the game comprise the 4 phases of preparation, planning + playing action cards, implementation with use of action cards and market phase with equipment and assisting forces. The mummy always follows a different set of rules to that of the treasure hunters.

A game fully incorporated into the tradition of the „Black“ series, you have to like this topic and the illustrations – if you do then you will have fun with the game. The growing terror of the mummy coupled with the fading of her powers and the resulting necessary cooperation are interesting details. When you have familiarized yourself with the rules the game plays easily and smoothly, but due to its complexity a game takes some time to play.
