Why It's On The List
- Mike Fitzgerald's "Mystery Rummy" system gets some interesting polish courtesy of veteran designer Richard Borg - and ends up with a Western-themed game that plays quickly and with a great deal of style.
Tips & Tricks:
- I think that Wyatt Earp is at it's best with 3 players.
- Some folks complain about the "gunshot" mechanic - but it's a probability issue that the "rummy" nature of the game actually makes easier to figure out. The more cards that have been played to the table, the less likely a "gunshot" action is going to work.
- We always use the optional "play a Photo for free when someone else melds an outlaw" rule.
Extras
- I have usually lumped Wyatt Earp in with the rest of the Mystery Rummy games for these countdowns... but I didn't this time and it rose into the top 100 by itself.
- This is the first of two games for Richard Borg and the first of three games for Mike Fitzgerald on this countdown.
