Description Edit | History

The fourth in the Mystery Rummy series introduces some elements of Canasta - you get bonuses for collecting complete sets.

Sets have varying numbers of cards in them, from Mike Heitler with 4 cards, up to Al Capone with 8. The four gavel card types make cards accessable everywhere: Agent Meeting searches other players hands, Eliot Ness searches the deck, Search Warrant looks in the discard pile, and Raid even allows you to take an opponent's already melded cards, provided you have at least 3 melded. All these mechanisms help make completing entire sets for their bonuses something you can reasonably strive for, and always must be guarding against your opponent doing.
