About the game
Reimplementation of the game Fluch der Mumie/Pyramid of Pengqueen. One player takes on the role of Swedish criminologist Leif GW Persson who has to catch the criminals before they destroy evidence left behind. The criminals each get five evidence cards in different colors which they need to get rid of by visiting different places on the vertical board where matching traces are located. Every time such place is visited the criminal hands over the corresponding evidence card to GW. The person playing GW on the other hand is sitting on the opposite side of the board, trying to track the paths of the criminals, arrest them and put them in jail. Each time he catches someone he hands over a handcuff token to that player. The goal for GW is to get rid of all the handcuff tokens, while each criminal tries to get rid of all his or her evidence cards. The first person to achieve this is the winner. —user summary
